Featherlight Gourmands

If you’ve written off gourmands because they’re too sweet, too dense, too overwhelming – try what I like to call a featherlight gourmand, something that still provides that hit of addictive sweetness, but in an airy way, like a fluffy angel food cake.

Eau d’Italie Morn to Dusk Eau de Parfum 

On my hunt for the perfect lactonic perfume, I came across Eau d’Italie’s Morn to Dusk, one of the coziest scents I’ve had the pleasure of smelling. Notes listed are bergamot, lily of the valley, bourbon vanilla, cedarwood, and musk, but in the opening I get a very pronounced milky note, which sets a tone of coziness for the rest of the wear. This is a little gem I like to recommend to people who are in search of their perfect vanilla, but find that everything is either too sugary, too woody, too smoky, or too one-note. This one is gorgeous and elevated, but sweet in its simplicity. I also love the history of this brand: founders Marina Sersale and Sebastián Alvarez Murena, owners of the famous Le Sirenuse hotel on the Amalfi Coast, created Eau d’Italie as the hotel’s signature scent, which then became an entire brand of its own.
