We all love gourmands. Sometimes they start blending together: oh, another pleasant fragrance that smells like cake! This one stands apart from the crowd. Described by purveyor Scout Dixon West as “waffle cone crushed under a rubber boot, ” this scent is designed to evoke the smells of a seaside theme park—both the buttery sweetness of funnel cake and the gasoline of a roller coaster. Improbably, the delicious and dirty aspects of this fragrance are perfectly balanced, and the product is friendly and wearable, but addictively provocative.
Is this the birth of a new genre, the industrial gourmand? Whatever you want to call it, this rich, sly fragrance is nostalgia in a bottle.
