Gourmand

Gourmand character is no longer a vice

For perfume creators, gourmand character is no longer a vice, so it can be used and even overused! Gourmand fragrances are today an expression of sensuality and femininity. Gourmand does not mean cloying, and creators have countless fragrances that avoid this effect, such as vanilla or tonka bean. The gourmand quality reveals an affirmation of the pleasures of life. Thanks to the perfume Angel by Thierry Mugler, created in 1992, the door to gourmand character opened. Here, patchouli is wrapped in caramelized vanilla and chocolate. A genuine success for this perfume, which, 20 years on, still ranks among the best sellers. In order to further awaken this gourmand character, perfume creators pair scent with sight by inventing irresistibly appealing bottles. Among the most unusual bottles are those of Lolita Lempicka perfumes, notably its latest bottle, sweet. Charm, luxury and voluptuousness, this is what gourmand fragrances embody today. The world of cooks and that of perfume creators is, in the end, not so far apart...

Gourmand? Give in to sweet fragrances

By slipping sweet notes into fragrances, creators appeal to the hedonic values of early childhood. The gustatory aspect is brought to the fore, but so is the forbidden side... Who can resist the smell of a carambar or of tagada strawberries? To lose weight, or not to gain any, sweets are forbidden... Yet, thanks to the ingenuity of perfumers, one can spray on as much as desired! Moreover, sugar has always known how to lower our anxiety levels. Sweet notes then act as genuine antidepressants, irresistibly tickling our endorphins. Thanks to fragrances, the forbidden is then lifted... Among sweet fragrances is the perfume Tentation de Nina by Nina Ricci. Here, the fragrance flirts with a macaron blending flavors of bergamot, raspberry, grapefruit, almond, lemon and vanilla. Through subtle yet improbable pairings, gourmand fragrances can now be savored like genuine pastry chef desserts.

Gourmand fragrances leave behind skin that begs to be devoured! Gourmand character can then be enjoyed without restraint. Fruit, sugar, cake, candy, meringue, chocolate, crème brûlée, caramel, vanilla... Gourmand character is everywhere and blends wonderfully well with today's world of fragrance, to the great delight of women, but also of men who dream of a taste. These fragrances seem to have been created solely for the taste buds. So, who can resist?
