Ganache Parfums - Strawberry Panna Cotta

"Ganache Parfums interprets a sumptuously divine and creamy vanilla bean panna cotta topped with fresh strawberries and rum glaze. The fragrance has notes of vanilla custard, sweet cream, crushed vanilla beans, white rum and sun-ripened strawberries."

Far and away the best strawberry note I've ever found. Usually 'strawberry' is sort of a vague sweet artificial flavor colored red scent, but this one actually properly smells like bright, fresh, ripe, sweet, real, strawberries. Yum! (And the original bottle's sprayer stopped working on this one so I bought a pretty empty bottle to decant it into.)

Ganache Parfums - Medium Roast

"Inspired by Cafe Mocha and lazy Saturday evenings"

I love my other coffee frag from Ganache, but it has a strong maple element that, although delicious, is also very unusual and thus a bit... conspicuous? I wanted a coffee that was a little more discreet. And this fits the bill perfectly, fantastic blind buy! Listed notes are coffee, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, milk, caramel, butter, and salt. I don't get much of the butter and salt elements, just a hint with the caramel, and the caramel is a pretty minor element too until deep in the dry down, but the coffee/chocolate/milk combo is the perfect cafe mocha. Delicious!

Ganache Parfums - Ugly Christmas Sweater

"the holidays in a bottle!"

Just got this one in the mail today, I love/d this little indie house and went a bit overboard on his going out of business (maybe temporarily, maybe permanently, chronic health conditions suck) sale so I'll be trying them for a while but I am absolutely loving this one!

Butter cookies, cinnamon, a touch of rummy eggnog, super cozy and comforting! And how cute is that bottle? I'll be looking forward to this one next winter.

Also that's one of my daughter's drawings in the background, she was looking at a book about Asian art techniques (I can't actually remember if it was Japanese or Chinese) and experimenting with the look. I love how it turned out, especially for a first experiment with a style from a (then) 8 year old.

Ganache Parfums - One Legged Joe

"Features notes of black coffee, wet coffee grounds, warm éclair, maple glazed, fresh cream butter, maple syrup and bitter woods."

This one is delicious, but invariably it gets someone asking in confusion "Why do I smell breakfast?" Or something to that effect.

Ganache Parfums - Arroz Con Leche

"The fragrance has notes of condensed milk, Basmati rice, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg and myrrh resin."

Yup, obsessed with rice notes.

Ganache Parfums - Delectation

"brown sugar, butter, vanilla, rum accord, caramel accord , warm pastry accord, sea salt, sandalwood"

This little indie house is shutting down temporarily/semi permanently. He does delicious straightforward unapologetic gourmands so if you are into that his entire stock is drastically reduced prices and BOGO. I'm trying to decide how many I'm going to get. I already had three I loved and I just bought this one, I'm contemplating getting a backup of Arroz con Leche and can't decide between Lemon Eclair (which I have sampled and really like), Lemon Pop, and When Life Hands You Lemons. Also contemplating getting Milkshake for my banana obsessed son who thinks it's wildly unfair that he doesn't have any perfume when he is almost as obsessed with smelling things as I am, and if I do that I have to get my daughter something too, and...
