Gourmand Perfumes – Olfactory Delights Reinvented by Niche Houses

A gourmand perfume evokes the pleasures of the table: vanilla, caramel, cocoa, praline, honey. The niche gourmand perfumes at Soleil d'Or — Profumum Roma, Akro, Versatile — transcend conventional sweetness with exceptional raw materials.

The tonka bean of Versatile or the unsweetened cocoa of Profumum Roma lack the artificial sweetness of conventional gourmands. Our gourmand perfumes are complex and deep — not simply sweet.

Light gourmands — tonka bean, discreet vanilla at New Notes — can be worn professionally. Intense gourmands from Profumum Roma or Akro are better suited to evening wear.

Vanilla is an ingredient; gourmand perfumes are an entire olfactory family. A vanilla perfume can be sober and woody. A gourmand borrows the universe of patisserie — caramel, honey, cocoa — with or without vanilla.

Intense gourmands are indeed cold-season fragrances. In summer, our hesperidic perfumes or floral perfumes will suit the lightness of the season better.
