Gourmand

Hello I'm writing to you for advice: I'm desperately looking for a nice gourmand perfume. I'm looking for a perfume that is sweet, in particular I would like a perfume with notes such as custard, cream, vanilla (I love it), croissant, cake, coconut.... in short, you understand, I want a gourmand perfume but I also want it to have a excellent duration and persistence. (No milky white from Giardini di Toscana because I honestly didn't like it). Thank you in advance 💘

Hi, always lovely to meet a fellow gourmand girly! Based on some of these notes, here are the most edible scents i'd recommend:

Crumb Couture (croissant, vanilla)

Vanilla Cake (milk, caramel, vanilla) / Vanille Absolu (vanilla, cinnamon)

"Casamorati - Lira (Eau de Parfum) | XerJoff" (citrus, vanilla, caramel - likened to lemon cake often)

Cheirosa '71 (vanilla, caramel, macadamia, white chocolate, coconut blossom - sooo yummy, only thing is that it lacks duration)

Le Gourmand (toast, butter, cookie dough, chocolate, hazelnut - nutella in perfume form)

Accident à la Vanille - Crème de la Berry (strawberry, vanilla, whipped cream, cheesecake - very sweet and delicious)

Bonbon Eau de Parfum (peach, citrus, caramel - has a nice, lightly woody drydown)

Sweet Tooth Eau de Parfum (chocolate marshmallow, coconut milk, vanilla, cream - fluffier and lighter gourmand compared to those above)

Eilish Eau de Parfum (sugar, berries, vanilla, cocoa)

If you're open to indie brands, my fav so far has been black hearted tart! In particular, i love their strawberry blonde (croissant, strawberry preserves) and paris is burning (creme brulee). Very sweet and wonderfully tasty scents, i haven't found designer or niche gourmands that i love quite as much so far tbh

thank you very much!

It's my pleasure to share - hope you find something you love! 🥰🍨🍮

Ooh @Gourmandgrl, i spot lait de biscuit! Have you tried Lait Concentré or Lait et Chocolat too?

@Jessaiee I haven't tested Lait Concentré , but I've tried Lait et Chocolat! 😊 Have you tried either of them? If so, what are your thoughts?

To me Lait et Chocolat is lovely, but overall quiet and short-lived. As far as chocolate-focused fragrances go, Chocolate Greedy is stronger/what I'd personally recommend more (aside from Le Gourmand - which I saw you also recommend, and totally agree with you on)! 🍫

@Gourmandgrl Agreed! Lait concentré was basically hyperrealistic condensed milk; i can understand why it's a bit much for some people since it's so milky and cloyingly sweet, but i personally loved it heh. I wouldn't really wear it out though, it feels more like a cozy stay-home scent. I've been meaning to try tihota, escapade gourmande, and crema di latte. Excited to see them in your list of recs! 💕

@Jessaiee just wanted you to know that I ordered a sample of Lait Concentré, thanks to you mentioning it (you made it sound so delicious!) - appreciate your recommendation! 🫶🏻 If you try any of the others, I'd love to hear what you think! 🥰

Thank alot!

As far as I'm concerned, it's the one that came to mind after your description, with excellent staying power to boot.

For me, it starts with a biscuit smell.

Biscuits contain a lot of butter.

Then you smell the crème brûlée and the sugar on the crème brûlée.

I highly recommend that you try it.

A sample can last a long time.

A word of advice though: I'd only recommend using this fragrance in a mini spray bottle, as even one spray from the original bottle is too strong for me and ruins everything.

Crème Brûlée

I'm in love with vanilla and addictive amber. Which nich perfumes do you recommend, unisex or leaning masculine.

Thank you!
