🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Eau de parfum, 50 ml, with roughly 20% fragrance oil, the same concentration across every fragrance we make. At €25 it is an affordable eau de parfum with free shipping on orders from €50 and delivery in 2 to 5 working days.

Giardini Di Toscana sells Bianco Latte as an eau de parfum, and Lattea matches that strength rather than a lighter eau de toilette. Sillage and projection are both gentle by design, since a milky gourmand like this is meant to sit close rather than announce itself, and it stays well short of an extrait de parfum in weight.

The oils are French, the filling is done by hand, and nothing is tested on animals. Fifteen days to swap Lattea for something else if it does not suit you.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Lattea is our perfume dupe of Giardini Di Toscana Bianco Latte, one of a few milky gourmand perfume dupes people ask us for, built around one idea: the smell of warm milk and sugar rather than fruit or flowers. It opens on caramel, moves into a heart of coumarin and honey, and settles into vanilla and white musk.

There is no sharp citrus opener here; the whole thing reads soft from the first spray, closer to a bakery than a perfume counter. The accord stays creamy and slightly powdery rather than sticky-sweet, and it clings close to the skin instead of filling a room. Longevity sits around six hours, with a soft trail that people notice more up close than from across a room, and on skin it smells like the real thing within minutes.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Lattea

Inspired by: Bianco Latte, Giardini Di Toscana

Lattea works year-round, from summer evenings to deep winter, though it earns its keep most in autumn and winter, when something warm and comforting makes more sense than a fresh citrus. It suits a cosy night in as easily as an office day, since the trail is soft enough not to bother anyone nearby.

Giardini Di Toscana built Bianco Latte as a unisex fragrance, and Lattea keeps that. It is not obviously masculine or feminine, so it works for men and women alike, whether you are buying it for him or for her.

Choose our Inspiration

Giardini Di Toscana is a small Italian niche house, closer to a luxury indie label than a big designer name, that leans into simple, single-idea fragrances rather than complicated blends, and Bianco Latte is one of its most talked-about releases. The name translates to white milk, which is exactly the effect it goes for: warm, creamy and comforting rather than sweet in a sugary way.

People usually just say Bianco Latte rather than the full house name, and it comes up often in any review of cosy, milk-and-vanilla gourmand scents.

Why choose us?

Lattea is our alternative to Giardini Di Toscana Bianco Latte. It is our own blend, made with French fragrance oils and filled by hand in small batches rather than mass produced.

We only make it as an eau de parfum, since that is the concentration the original uses and where this soft, milky accord holds up best over a full day. If it does not smell similar to what you expected, you have 15 days to send it back and exchange it.
