La Foncedalle
Versatile Paris pushes the gourmand category into uncharted territory with a midnight munchie-themed composition starring a (vegan) roasted chicken accord! Created in collaboration with Amélie Bourgeouis and Margaux Le-Paih Guérin of the independent, women-owned perfume studio FLAIR, Versatile founding creative director Coralie Frébourg takes us back to the dorm days — or maybe a hazy boho dinner party — with a buttery blend of aromatic "herbs", fresh beer and an indulgent basting of roasty-toasty rotisserie magic. And believe it or not, La Foncedalle is as wearable as the night is long.
From Versatile Paris
Weed. Aromatic. Beer. Fresh. Sage. Chicken. Roasted. Butter. Musky.
Our perfumers have created an ultra-faceted and truly unique "Neo-Fougère." For the first time in a fragrance, an original triptych: weed, beer and roasted chicken (vegan). A salty, fresh and warm combination that is sensual, appetizing and intoxicating. Deliciously addictive.
Perfumers
Amélie Bourgeois, Margaux Le-Paih Guérin
FYI
Roll-on Extrait de Parfum oil 15ml. 30% concentration. Vegan. Unisex.

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
The description was so funny, I had to smell it. It. Smells. Really. Good.
And it IS surprisingly wearable. I like the herby, buttery, peppery top notes and how it mellows out to something quite smoky, soft, and warm. The amount of ingredients/notes is massive for this perfume and it all works together so nicely.
Im not usually into gourmands, sweetness is overwhelming but I do like this savory gourmand. Feels very unisex, and I’ve worn it everyday for a few weeks.
