Amber, Oakwood, Fireplace, Stroopwafel, Espresso, Musk, Tulips
This delicious gourmand fragrance is inspired by the Dutch waffle cookie Stroopwafel, with notes of vanilla, caramel, baked waffle with wood and smoke. Wrapped in Gezellig; an untranslatable atmosphere that encompasses Dutch culture and includes feelings of coziness and ambiance that is inviting, friendly, sociable, comfortable, and convivial.
“Gezellig” is a very Dutch concept, which means an inviting and friendly ambiance, and doesn’t really have an English-language equivalent word. The fragrance is inspired by my years living in Amsterdam, and I’m picturing enjoying coffee and stroopwafels in a 17th century canal house. There are tulips on the table and the old oakwood floors have just been polished. There’s a cool North Sea breeze outside, but inside it’s cozy and warm in front of the fireplace.”

I adore this scent! I have many very expensive viral gourmands and Stroopwafel stands with them all, and in some cases exceeds them. It is sweet and edible without being cloying, but also has other notes that make it a work of art. The longevity was excellent and Iasted a good 8 hours plus. Highly recommend!
Complex for a gourmand scent and the dry down has longevity
Simply amazing. Deep dark rich vanilla cream and caramel swirled together with a puff of smoked marshmallows lingering in the background. Yummy!
I get syrup, espresso, and caramel. It is the best gourmand fragrance I have smelled.
Very strong and long lasting sweet scent
