Aimez Moi Comme Je Suis by Caron is a modern artisanal gourmand woody fragrance centered on a rich hazelnut accord that unfolds with a smooth, creamy subtlety. Initially bright and fresh with a citrus-ginger opening reminiscent of a refined shower gel or blue masculine fougère, the fragrance quickly deepens into a softly sweet, nutty-core with real depth. The hazelnut note, interpreted as toasted and roasted rather than sweet or syrupy, takes dominance early, masking other notes and creating a warm, almost pastel-like gourmand profile. Vetiver appears later as a subtle rooty, hay-like or earthy undercurrent that integrates seamlessly with the nutty base, while tonka and tobacco offer a soft, slightly ambery drydown. The scent evolves without being overwhelming, blending gourmand warmth with urban sophistication. It performs lightly with moderate sillage and moderate longevity, meaning it projects subtly but not loudly, fading into a pleasant skin scent. It's best appreciated on cooler days—autumn and winter—and is wearable in office or intimate settings without drawing undue attention. Despite some users disliking the straightforward nutty profile or finding it too soft or fleeting, many describe it as elegant, modern, and quietly addictive, with a compelling realism to the hazelnut note that feels distinct and luxurious. The fragrance straddles the line between a masculine signature and unisex elegance, appealing to those seeking quiet confidence in a warm, nutty scent. An unexpected and emotional 'grower' for many.
