Gourmand

Gourmand perfumes are a sensual fragrance family that celebrates the close link between smell and taste, focusing on sweet, creamy, candied, and buttery notes. Originating from the popularity of vanilla accords a century ago, true gourmands became prominent in the 1990s with caramel, chocolate, and fruit-themed scents. Today, they include accords of fruits, custards, liqueurs, popcorn, patisserie, ice creams, jams, honey, and syrups, with potential for savoury additions. These fragrances are extrovert, exotic, comforting, and nostalgic, embodying a light-hearted playfulness. Gourmand scents are witty, flamboyant, sexy, and above all, fun.
