Ask anyone what their fondest scent memory is, and chances are, the scent of baking bread will be invoked. For Luckyscent’s 15th anniversary, our most inventive gourmand nose, Hilde Soliani, created her loveliest, most nostalgia-inducing scent, exclusively for us - Buonissimo.

Imagine waking up in a charming Italian town over a simple breakfast of a hot cup of foamed cappuccino and a freshly baked sweet pastry. The fantastical Hilde brings this vision to life in the form of what the Italians call brioche- the fair lovechild between a flaky French croissant and clasically airy French brioche. It’s perfectly buttery, and fluffy with a sugared vanilla. But it wouldn’t be a Hilde Soliani without that how-did-she-do-that element, and here, she’s captured the sweet egg wash over the pastries’ gentle slopes, caramelized a crispy golden brown from the oven. And don’t forget - from beginning to end, like every proper Italian day, the dark swirl of espresso and cream is ever-present, lending its mature sophistication. This is a serious must have for any gourmand connoisseur.

Here's what other people are saying about Buonissimo...

I can’t get enough, if I could, I would bathe in it. I love gourmands, but they can be tricky for me. Too linear or cloying. This is sweet, sexy, rich and so so yummy. That feeling of a winter day walking in to a warm coffee shop with fresh baked goods and hazelnut coffee in the air. I’m not even a coffee drinker, but this is just stellar. As long as this fragrance exists, it will forever be in my collection.

My absolute fave. I only wear Buonissimo on special occasions, but it's definitely giving a Ferrero Rocher Nutella with a tiny drop of coffee & vanilla. I love to smell like a dessert and whenever I wear this, I have had coworkers in the break room or clients ask 'Who's baking cookies?' It's a little on the pricey side but definitely worth it. LOVE LOVE LOVE Hilde Soliani. Her perfume is top tier for gourmand lovers like me and has nailed sweetness without any plastic or artificial scents. I spray sparingly, but when I run low I will definitely be back.

Initially not wowed somewhat annoyed. Shame on me; I didn't give this an appropriate chance. When I did, this little bakery in a bottle snuck up on me. What a pleasant surprise. It stays with you all day (or for me it did) giving me tiny bouts of delicious joy each time I caught a note from warm skin. I highly recommend giving this a try.

so delish, and I'm not usually a gourmand girl. it's smells like hazelnut coffee creamer but like, an expensive and aspirational hazelnut coffee creamer. like a strong, milky espresso drink with a fat slice of brioche.

By sophie - editor from washington dc on 1/28/2021

This smells like straight-up hazelnut cappuccino, and I mean exactly, to a T, like there's a cup sitting on the table next to me. No trace of any kind of, well, "perfume notes" that make it smell like perfume and not the real thing. Absolutely divine. But most unfortunately, it fades to nothingness in less than 30 minutes. Che peccato!

By R - Sub-Librarian from Pennsylvania on 1/7/2021

This is delicious. It smells like a creamy, sweet cup of hazelnut coffee with a buttery pastry on the side. It’s a true gourmand fragrance, but not cloying or overly sweet. And like most gourmand fragrances it doesn’t have the best projection nor does it last as long (as non gourmand fragrances). But I am not one who likes to knock people out with perfume when stepping into an elevator or dental office, so I don’t mind it.

I just wanted to add to my review that the scent only lasted 3-4 max on my skin. So even though I love the smell itself, I do wish the fragrance had a been more staying power. This is something I have noticed happening with a bunch of Hilde Soliani's scents. Still smells lovely though while it is around.

A Gourmand lovers dream! This scent is warm, rich, sweet, and cozy. sillage is average, not too weak or too strong. I can definitely smell the coffee/cappuccino aroma, some light vanilla, and something somewhat nutty. I really enjoy the scent. It doesn't seem to develop much throughout wearing, kind of remains the same from top notes to base. This isn't a bad thing because it smells delicious, but it isn't a complex perfume. Hilde Soliani is a genius when it comes to gourmand scents. I have tried at least 10 of her scents and most are very interesting, well blended, and unique. Give it a try if you like foody perfumes.

By sarah - tourism from puerto rico on 8/21/2018

If only there were a drink this heavenly. You need to enjoy gourmands to like this. I wouldn't wear this to work, but I'd love it on a cold day curled up by the fire. Or outside roasting marshmallows for s'mores. This is reminiscent of a delicious vanilla/mocha served with a fresh croissant. What's not to love?

By Kat - Admin from Seattle on 6/23/2018

This gorumand is one of the only ones I can do--most I have tried have been too over the top. This is sugary, sure, but simple in it's execution. I smell like a bakery and I love it!

By Cat - student from Denver on 4/18/2018

Hilde Soliani's scents are soooo true to life...it's amazing how she captures a scent the way she does. Buonissimo is no exception! This is absolutely a heavenly brioche and a coffee; the perfect breakfast. How does she create the egg wash and sugary top? It's a fun mystery! I had to reluctantly knock one star off for longevity; on my skin this fades away in just an hour or so. Then again, this is a dabber sample, and I would have to use a spray sample to get the true performance of this goody. LOVE THIS! Soliani's gourmands are definitely the best around!

True to the description. I went straight for the full bottle and am glad I did! This is wonderful! I have come to trust what Hilde states will be in the bottle is in the bottle
