What is Gourmand Fragrance?
Smells so good, you’d want to eat it.
A Gourmand Fragrance is a perfume that comprises synthetic notes of edible delights. They are loved as olfactory desserts as they engulf the smell receptors with pleasure.
Commonly, Gourmand Fragrances are made of sweet and warm notes, such as honey, chocolate, and candy; or comforting exotic scents like Vanilla or Coffee. The idea is to wear scents of delicious delicacies, and even perfume personal spaces with Gourmand Fragrances.
Though this concept is not recent, most Gourmand Fragrances were limited to sweetness. As the popularity grew, a diverse range of fragrances emerged, smells of all kinds of foods and drinks. Even peculiar scents like lobster and scents of other oceanic delicacies.
Popular Gourmand Elements
Notes of a Gourmand Fragrance can vary in feminine or masculine perfumes. Usually, the opening notes and heart notes are combined with non-edible base notes. The opening and heart notes can usually be edible, and vary from fragrance to fragrance. The base notes are generally warm and more ‘grounded’ to add balance and consistency to the perfume, such as amber, patchouli, musk, and warm spices like cinnamon.
Here are some of the widely used Gourmand Ingredients:
- Vanilla: Being loved as the world’s most popular flavor, Vanilla is frequently used in Gourmand Fragrances. As it is also a very luxurious and rich spice, Vanilla holds a dear place in the heart notes of many fragrances.
- Caramel: Caramel’s heavy and sweet aromas with subtle smoky hits are a treat for those who love Gourmand Fragrances. It adds sizzle and creates a sweet hazel ambiance.
