Gourmand Fragrances (PDSC)

What is Gourmand fragrances?

Gourmand fragrances are a category of perfumes that evoke the scents of delicious, sweet, and edible treats, often resembling desserts or comfort foods. Here at PDSC we have an extensive range of gourmand fragrances and whilst covering all the elements we continue to add to the range to satisfy our customers ongoing requests and demands.
The term “gourmand” comes from the French word for a person who enjoys eating, especially in excess, and these perfumes aim to capture the pleasure of indulgence. They are typically characterized by rich, warm, and sometimes creamy or spicy notes that resemble flavours people love to eat or drink.

Key Elements in Gourmand Fragrances

1. Sweetness: Many gourmand fragrances focus on sweet, sugary notes such as vanilla, caramel, or honey. These evoke the comfort of sugary desserts like cakes, cookies, or candies.

2. Edible Notes: Fragrances in this category often incorporate edible ingredients, such as chocolate, coffee, almond, or hazelnut. These notes create a cosy, indulgent atmosphere, reminiscent of treats you might enjoy on a frosty day or during a special occasion.

3. Fruity Accents: Some gourmand fragrances blend sweet fruits like berries, peaches, or citrus with sugary notes. These add a layer of juiciness and freshness to the otherwise rich and decadent base.

4. Spices and Warmth: Ingredients like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger are sometimes included to provide a warm, spicy quality, balancing the sweetness and adding complexity to the fragrance.

6. Unusual Notes: Notes such as Gourmand cut grass is a scent that evokes the smell of freshly cut grass used in soaps, perfumes, and fragrance oils for candles.

5. Creamy, Buttery Notes: Notes like whipped cream, milk, or butter can enhance the soft, creamy quality of a gourmand fragrance, mimicking the richness of desserts like custards or pies.
