It could be very heavy, you're right.

There is just something comforting about almond in fragrances. Castelbajac was my favorite for a long time and if you don't like super sweet you may like this one, its on the clean linen scent side, at least to me it smells very clean, not very sweet. Another pretty gourmand scent is Reminiscence Do Re, again the almond comes through quite a bit on this one.

I've never tried it, but it's a given that KM Loukhoum is a lot sweeter than SL Rahat, right? Still, this new extrait sounds very nice. I've been having a hankering for something almondy for awhile: these are probably in a much different vein AdP Mandorlo di Sicilia has been on my wishlist for awhile, and I've also been curious about Castelbajac for the longest time.

Teint de Neige is a super powerdery LV that even I can't take. I always wish there was as shot of bitters in it.

Too sweet for me too. I'd like to try the Soir version though.

Loukhoum has tons of fans though, as does LV's powdery one (name escaping me at the moment). So you aren't alone in loving powdery!

I like powdery too. I do like the original Loukhoum and own a bottle, i ordered the Poudree, but i think i am first going to try a sample of the soir, before considering buying a bottle. Sometimes the Oudh can make it not so soft and depending on how much patchouli is in there it scares me a little since that combo sounds like an instant headache waiting to happen. But i will know more after trying a sample.

IrisNobile, I like powdery also. With me, though, sometimes the sweetness can be too much in powdery fragrances. The original KM Loukhoum was a bit too sweet for me. Still, I'd sniff both these new ones!

I love almond notes, and a good, precious vanilla. I also love powdery fragrances. I'm probably the only person in the world who LOVES powdery so much. So this all means that I'd love to try them both: the extrait and the Eau Poudree.
