Gourmand Coquin

Where to buy

No matter! With Oriental Brûlant, Chypre Fatal and Gourmand Coquin, Christine Nagel and Sylvaine Delacourte open the doors to feminine fantasy. But what exactly are the famous indulgences of Gourmand Coquin?

The Gourmand Coquin perfume by Guerlain between femme fatale and femme-enfant

With Idylle and its ultra sensual advertising campaign, Sylvaine Delacourte had already dared to bring a breath of modernity to the great house of Guerlain. A few years later, the Les Elixirs Charnels collection would go much further than merely suggesting physical attraction, it would express it as a fragrance and even put it in writing in a press release…

Among the three love potions launched by Guerlain, we thus have the pleasure of discovering the pretty and surprisingly sweet Gourmand Coquin, which stands out within the chic, elegant and sometimes very classic world of the house of Guerlain. In any case, the aim of this Gourmand Coquin is to surprise with unusual scents (for the house of Guerlain, at least) and unprecedented pairings such as rose and pepper or caramel and rum.

Gourmand Coquin would thus be the first encounter of the woman who wears Les Elixirs Charnels. It represents the craving, the almost gourmet desire to savor an “appetizing” woman who drives the senses wild. Once her prey succumbs, Chypre Fatal and Oriental Brûlant will create the addiction…

An irresistible urge to dive into her fantasies through a single drop of perfume. Let your senses decide which woman you want to be tonight. Guerlain for the Les Elixirs Charnels collection.

The surprising encounter between sweet temptation and swirls of smoky tea for a delicious Gourmand Coquin

Gourmand Coquin seeks to surprise, to astonish in order to seduce all the better. Christine Nagel and Sylvaine Delacourte thus dared to blend rose, the classic emblem of the house of Guerlain, with ultra modern sweet scents that had never before been used by the house, which is far more chic than shocking.

A flavorful and sexy perfume, in the image of a mischievous, daring woman full of charm. A surprising gourmand duo: the meeting of chocolate with smoky tea. Rose and black pepper, heightened with a drop of rum, accompany this duo for an irresistibly bewitching fragrance. Guerlain for Gourmand Coquin.

Gourmand Coquin thus opens on very surprising notes of chocolate and rum, evoking of course those delicate liqueur-filled chocolates. A touch of dynamic, sharp pepper comes to sprinkle this scented tasting with its spicy accent. At the heart, we have the pleasure of finding the same thoroughly striking contrasts between the rose so beloved by Guerlain and a mysterious, deep note of black tea. Finally, the depths of this Gourmand Coquin come to envelop the now easy masculine prey in a cloud of tonka bean and vanilla. Caught between the femme-enfant fond of fine indulgences and the femme fatale in love with roses, the man finds himself trapped and will not escape any time soon…
