What is meant by gourmand perfume?

What is meant by gourmand perfume? The meaning of the word and the composition of gourmand fragrances. Perfumery has taken this term to express those sweet and sugary notes typical of desserts.

The meaning of gourmand perfume: Gourmand perfumes are inspired by pastry making, typically French but not only, with frequent hints of vanilla, caramel, milk, cocoa and fruity notes. And it is precisely from the French "greedy", the literal meaning of the term gourmand, that they take their name.

Cocoa fragrances, for example, are often composed with the aphrodisiac notes of bitter cocoa but accompanied and combined with the sweetness of caramel, pink pepper and vanilla. Gourmand perfumes have the sweet and sugary heart of caramel, fragrances with notes of cinnamon, red fruits, strawberry and honey are typical.

They awaken the senses of smell but also of the palate which recall the praline and even the butter of French pastry shops.

Vanilla² by Maison Tahité: A gourmand bomb without brakes. Vanilla², that is vanilla "squared", is exactly what its name indicates: a soft, creamy and touching dessert of pure vanilla to which it is impossible to say no. Maison Tahité is an Italian brand entirely focused on the gourmand olfactory family and its creations have nothing to envy of the most famous international gourmet fragrances. In Vanilla² the top, heart and base notes always express perfect vanilla, combined with praline and powdery notes. It is difficult to find a niche perfume more similar to an exquisite cupcake than this: in a hypothetical dictionary dedicated to olfactory families, Vanilla² it would be cited as a “gourmand perfume by definition”.

The Montale brand is increasingly known and appreciated in every corner of the world. Chocolate Greedy is one of chocolate fragrances the most gourmand unisex of its large collection (always rich in scents centered on oud and vanilla) and recalls the scent released by a freshly baked chocolate cake.
