The Taste of Sweetness: Collection of Gourmand Fragrances

“In perfumery, when we talk about ‘gourmand’ fragrances, we’re suggesting a character that has edible, sweet, and mouth-watering connotations when you wrap your nose around the scent. Traditionally served up with woods and florals, the effect they have on perfume is that of diffusion and obsessive deliciousness.” – Miller Harris

The Gourmand family is one of the modern olfactory families, distinguished by its “edible” or “dessert-like” quality. Like walking into a candy store, or walking into the kitchen while your mom is baking, gourmand fragrances bring back a lot of sweet memories with their top notes often consist of vanilla, caramel, nutmeg, honey or candy. 

Check out these beautiful gourmand fragrances, available in all of our L’Apothiquaire stores!
