Last Birthday Cake is definitely a fragrance that you should test if you like unconventional gourmands. It starts with a very light menthol note, which vanishes very quickly though. Once the fragrance has had a moment to settle, it transitions directly into a very special gourmand quality. The scent now appears very heavy and oppressive due to the fruitcake or stollen with a noticeable smokiness in the background. This smokiness becomes increasingly stronger as the fragrance develops, smelling like blown-out birthday candles combined with a wonderfully subtle vanilla. To me, LBC does not smell like a cheerful birthday with a delicious cake, but rather like an old, dusty cake that carries a depressive mood. I am still fascinated by how intensely a fragrance can convey an emotion. 100% a buy candidate for gourmand lovers who dislike sticky sweetness! :)
