What does gourmand perfume smell like?

Gourmand fragrances smell edible — vanilla, caramel, praline, chocolate, coffee, honey, sugar and toasted nuts are the usual building blocks. They read warm and sweet rather than clean or floral, and most sit close to a dessert or a bakery rather than a garden.

Are gourmand perfumes good for winter?

Yes. Heat lifts sweet notes and can make them cloying, while cold air holds them close to the skin. Autumn and winter are when gourmands perform best, which is also when they get the most compliments.

What is the most popular gourmand perfume?

In this collection the most searched gourmands are Lattafa Khamrah, Lattafa Yara and Kayali Vanilla No.28. All three are eau de parfum concentration and built on a vanilla-and-amber base.

Are gourmand perfumes unisex?

Most are. Sweetness is not gendered — the same vanilla-tonka base appears in fragrances marketed to men and to women. Whether one reads masculine or feminine usually comes down to what sits on top of it: spice and tobacco push masculine, fruit and flowers push feminine.
