There’s something irresistible about desserts and all-things-sweet—a strawberry donut, a caramel latte, a frothy hot coffee with a touch of hazelnut, roasted marshmallows with honey, or a warm rum-soaked cupcake topped with burnt sugar! Now imagine capturing these delicious desserts in a bottle! You guessed it, gourmand fragrances! Fragrances that make you feel like you're taking a walk through a patisserie, a coffee shop, or an ice-cream parlour, are our current obsession. Seriously, no fragrance family feels as irresistible as gourmand, in our humble opinion. Notes like vanilla, chocolate, caramel, coffee, honey, marshmallow, coconut, cocoa, espresso, rum, and pistachio make for perfumes that almost feel edible! If you too, would like to hop onto the gourmand fragrance bandwagon, read on to know our current favourites!
If you’re looking for a perfume that beautifully blends gourmand notes with floral ones, this is a great pick. It is built around notes like brown sugar, bourbon vanilla, wild strawberry, oakmoss, rose, jasmine, and milky gardenia. While citrus and strawberry makes it fresh and fun, notes like brown sugar and bourbon vanilla lends it warmth and cosiness.
With notes like Vanilla, Cacao and Ginger, this fragrance feels warm, nutty, and spicy. It’s infused with three types of Vanilla, making it very prominent. If you’re looking for a fragrance that feels nice and comforting, and not too sweet, this might be a good choice.
Speaking of comfort, the Dedcool Mochi Milk feels like what most people consider their comfort food: milk and cereal. With beautiful top notes like marshmallow and peach nectar, and heart notes like sweet rice milk, vanilla bean, and milk, it feels warm, sweet, sugary, and very, very milky!
If you’re anything like us, you’re probably obsessed with coffee; in which case you will probably love the Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break. It has some yummy, creamy notes like coffee, milk, tonka bean, along with some other notes like pepper, orange blossom, and patchouli. It feels like a coffee that’s sweet and creamy, rather than too bitter.
Or, if your choice of beverage is more alcohol than coffee, there’s a good chance you will love this one by Kilian Paris. With notes like cognac, liqueur, raspberry, tonka bean, and oak, this fragrance feels intense, sweet, and very boozy!
