Gourmand Fragrances

Gourmand fragrances are designed to evoke the irresistible allure of edible delights, replicating the scents of desserts, confections, and other indulgent treats. These compositions often feature sweet, creamy, and spicy notes derived from ingredients like vanilla, caramel, and chocolate, bolstered by synthetic molecules such as vanillin (for vanilla-like warmth) or maltol (responsible for caramelized sugar nuances).

Occupying the heart and base of the olfactory pyramid, gourmand notes provide a comforting depth and longevity. Scents like Chocolate and Roasted Almond & Caramel bring richness and decadence, while Black Coffee and Praline Coffee add an aromatic, roasted sophistication, perfect for creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

The gourmand family has its roots in the 1990s, with the groundbreaking introduction of Thierry Mugler’s Angel, which popularized the use of edible-inspired accords in perfumery. Today, scents like Raspberry Vanilla and Blueberry Parfait blend fruity sweetness with dessert-like indulgence, appealing to a broad range of tastes.

Gourmand fragrances are particularly evocative, often tied to comforting memories and feelings of warmth, making them ideal for creating a sense of relaxation and self-care.
