Stroopwafel

ATMOSPHERE:
NOTES:
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.”

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
This is such a good scent especially that I’m not usually a fan of sweet fragrances. It’s the right amount of everything. I can almost taste the stroopwafels and coffee. This is a cozy fragrance. Superb!
