gourmand scent meaning

Gourmand fragrances are perfumes consisting primarily of synthetic edible notes, such as honey, chocolate, vanilla, or candy. These scents are often blended with non-edible base notes such as patchouli or musk and have been described as olfactory desserts. They can be both feminine and masculine and are considered a subcategory of the modern family of fragrance. Gourmand fragrances have steadily increased in popularity since 1992 and are often associated with sweetness, but they can also include more exotic flavors such as coffee, licorice, and whipped sugar or cotton candy. Some well-known gourmand fragrances include Thierry Mugler's Angel, Lolita Lempicka's Lolita Lempicka, and Hanae Mori's Butterfly
