I can see why Fève Délicieuse is one of the most sought after perfumes from Dior - this is a true masterpiece. It initially opens quite fresh and aromatic as lavender and mint combine with bergamot and white florals, however this freshness is only fleeting and gives way to a warmer heart of delicious bittersweet cherries and tonka bean. As this settles on the skin, a complex array of beautiful gourmand notes are blended to perfection; the cherry and tonka lingers as vanilla, caramel, chocolate and benzoin are introduced, gently resting on a base of sandalwood, coconut and leather. There’s a slight nuttiness in the dry down, perhaps from the combination of cherry, tonka and coconut. This scent perfects the gourmand scent profile and really lives up to its name - it’s absolutely delicious. Such a shame that this is so hard to find now, it’s a must have if you love sweet fragrances and a phenomenal perfume for nights out.
It's as if there were a Shalimar Flanker/Hybrid with AMan. Not terrible, but completely superfluous, and hugely inferior to Shalimar, AMen, Tonka Imperial, etc
