Gourmand Perfumes – Sweet, milky and deliciously edible trails

Gourmand Perfumes: sweet, milky and deliciously edible trails

What is a gourmand perfume?

The gourmand family was founded in 1992 with Mugler's Angel, first contemporary perfume to assume an explicitly sweet, edible trail. It brings together perfumes whose dominant accord transposes vanilla, caramel, praline, chocolate, coffee, cocoa, milk, tonka bean and fruit pulps into olfaction. An addictive and warm family, completely renewed by contemporary niche (Akro by Olivier Cresp, La Closerie des Parfums Cacao, Initio Hedonist) which has freed it from its commercial codes to inscribe it in the haute parfumerie register.

Iconic gourmand creations at Soleil d'Or

At Soleil d'Or, you can explore this family across the catalogue, including notable signatures at Akro, Closerie des Parfums Exploration Cacao, Xerjoff Coffee Break and Initio Hedonist.

When to wear it, and for whom?

Gourmand perfumes shine particularly in autumn and winter, when the cool air enhances the warm sweetness of accords. Mostly unisex (Mugler's Angel was historically marketed feminine, but contemporary niche has made gourmand a unisex family), the family suits enveloping and addictive trails, ideal for evening wear and special occasions. A pleasure-perfumery freed from genre codes.
