What is Lidl’s Eau de Croissant perfume?
If you’re not familiar with Lidl, this European grocery chain has been winning hearts across America with its amazing baked goods at prices that can’t be beat. One of the most popular items? Croissants!
The store boasts that its selection of 49-cent croissants is baked fresh daily and is crafted in France with European butter.
Now, the company is giving fans a chance to smell like this baked good all year long. Lidl has partnered with the “Fairy Godmother of UK Perfumery,” Sarah McCartney, to drop a limited-edition fragrance called Eau de Croissant. Naturally, it’s inspired by the baked good and features the pleasant scent of a warm and buttery croissant.
Adding to the charm is the fact that the fragrance comes in a croissant-shaped bottle with a brown tint, making it a unique collector’s item or gift.

Though Eau de Croissant isn’t available for purchase, it’s possible Lidl may eventually decide to start selling them in its stores if fans absolutely love it!

Some shoppers have loved the unique aroma, while others have found it unappealing. “It reminds me of the smell of Froot Loops cereal,” said one satisfied customer.
