What gourmand means

Gourmand isn’t dessert. It’s closeness.

Gourmand is a fragrance family with edible-seeming notes such as vanilla, caramel, praline, pistachio or almond. To keep it from becoming heavy, it needs counterparts: juicy fruit in the opening, a flower at the heart and soft woods in the base.

The building blocks

How sweetness stays elegant.

Juicy fruit

Pear, mandarin and raspberry make the opening fresh instead of heavy.

Pistachio & praline

Roasted pistachio and light praline form a creamy heart.

Bourbon vanilla

Vanilla in the base adds warmth and keeps the fragrance on the skin for a long time.

Skin musk

Musk and sandalwood let the sweetness fade out softly and close to the skin.

General classification of fragrance directions. How a fragrance comes across always depends on the composition and your skin.

How to wear it

How to wear a gourmand fragrance.

Sweet fragrances reward restraint. With these three rules the dose is just right.

01

Apply sparingly

Sweet notes are stronger in warm rooms. With an Extrait de Parfum, one or two sprays are enough.

02

On neck and décolleté

Gourmand notes need body warmth. Neck, nape and décolleté are ideal.

03

All year round

In winter a gourmand feels cosy; in summer, fruity top notes keep it light. In the heat, one spray is enough.

Ambra – pistachio, praline and vanilla.

A fragrance from the family with edible-seeming notes such as vanilla, caramel, praline, pistachio or almond. Gourmands feel warm, creamy and sweet.

Isn’t a gourmand too sweet?

That depends on the counterparts. Fruity top notes, a flower at the heart and soft woods in the base keep the sweetness in balance. Ambra is sweet but never sticky; Lune Dorée becomes darker and more grown-up through jasmine and oud.

All year round, especially in autumn and winter and in the evening. More ideas on Winter perfume for women.
