Q: What is a gourmand fragrance?


A:
 Gourmand fragrances are basically dessert-like flavours and scents. Think: rich, edible vibes like Vanilla, Caramel and Chocolate but also sweet, fruity notes, too. They’re cosy, warm and totally crave-worthy. 


Q: Which is the best gourmand perfume?


A:
 The best gourmand perfumes are all about your personal vibe. Whether you want something sweet, spicy, fruity or creamy, from best mens gourmand fragrances to gourmand perfumes for her, we’ve rounded up some of our Sephora-approved faves. 


Q: What is the difference between sweet and gourmand?


A:
 Sweet fragrances are usually light and sugary whilst gourmand perfumes take it up a level with deeper notes like Caramel or Chocolate. 


Q: When should you wear gourmand fragrances?


A:
 There are no rules here. Wear them when you want to feel cute, confident or just extra delicious. They’re perfect for hotter weather, date nights or any time you want your scent to do the talking.


Q: How should you layer fragrances?


A:
 We’re big on starting light and building up with richer scents to create your own unique combo. Think of it like mixing your fave playlist… each note adds a new vibe.


Q: What are the best scent combinations to layer?


A:
 Vanilla and Musk make a pretty addictive duo, while citrus and floral work well to keep things fresh and fun. Don’t be afraid to experiment until you find a combo that you love.
