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.

Questions fréquentes sur les parfums Gourmand Perfumes

What is a gourmand perfume?

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.

Aren't gourmand perfumes too sweet?

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.

Can a gourmand perfume be worn to work?

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.

What is the difference between a gourmand and a vanilla perfume?

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.

Are gourmand perfumes autumn/winter fragrances?

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