Did you know that even a perfume can take by the throat? Just like a delicious food, fragrances can also be chosen based on one's tastes, not only olfactory but also culinary.

This is what happens with Arab niche perfumery and its selection of fragrances that belong to the olfactory family of gourmand.

That of gourmand fragrances is a delicious world created based on cocoa, vanilla, caramel, strawberry, Tonka bean, dried fruit, honey, coffee, cinnamon, ginger, candied fruit, cotton candy, coconut, red fruits and many other delicious ingredients and that is conquering more and more palates… or rather, more and more olfactory senses.

To satisfy the sense of smell, you need to draw on beloved scents, and gourmand perfumes embody precisely the tastiest, sweetest and most irresistible thing in the field of pastry making. Chosen by those who want to add a touch of sweetness to their look and to the definition of their personality, gourmand fragrances are today a trend in quality perfumery of which Arab perfumery is a prized representative.

Gourmand perfumes: sweet fragrances to wear

From the family of gourmand perfumes come niche fragrances that are characterized by their sweet and delicious olfactory notes. In French, in fact, gourmand means “greedy” and it is in France, a country renowned throughout the world for the quality of its pastry making, that the origins of gourmand perfumes are found.

In the 90s of the last century, it was French perfumery that introduced the use of some raw materials inspired by pastry making but also by cooking in general, due to the pleasant sensations of warmth and sweetness that they evoked. From the very beginning, these fragrances inspired by the world of French pastry, achieved great success and more and more frequently niche perfumery chose to draw on the ingredients that are traditionally used in the preparation of sweets and delicious delicacies to create new fragrances.

From the first top notes that make up gourmand perfumes, in fact, you have the sensation of wearing a dessert, of immersing yourself in an enveloping and appetizing sensory experience, just like when you enter a pastry shop or taste a dessert.

From these sweet, soft and velvety notes, fragrances designed for him and for her come to life, even if for a long time they were mostly associated with women. Yet in recent years the demand from men has grown, and in fact Arab perfumery has created mainly unisex gourmand fragrances, capable of bringing together the senses of smell of both sexes in a single enveloping and delicious creation. The essences are light and fruity, but at the same time rich in facets and very persistent, combined with the most intense floral notes.

Over the years, gourmand perfumes have undergone a great evolution, to the point of being recognized today as a true icon of refined and quality perfumery. The credit goes to their sweet and persistent notes, which make these fragrances perfect to be shown off in various contexts and to best enhance the style and personality of those who choose them.

It's not a play on words, but it can certainly be said that those who have good taste choose gourmand perfumes. And they are also chosen by the person who wants to surround themselves with pleasant sensations, who wants to leave a pleasant memory of themselves, but without doing so in a too incisive way.

It is a bold and distinctive choice, which in fact makes these delicious aromas not suitable to be worn by just anyone, but perfect for those who want to show a joyful and carefree personality, for those who want to be sensual and enveloping, especially during the colder seasons. But even for the cooler seasons there are combinations of gourmand fragrances that combine sweet notes with the more sparkling and light ones typically of spring or summer. But also with the more opulent and oriental ones, with incense and sweet spices.

Some examples? The Amber 07 perfume by the Swiss Arabian maison, a unisex fragrance that combines cinnamon, dates and golden amber to create an irresistible sensory mix. The heart of the aroma releases notes of velvety roses, ylang-ylang and iris, to open up to the warm and delicious trail of the base notes, composed of vanilla, sandalwood, incense and patchouli.

The maison Lattafa is a must, having created some of the most beloved gourmand fragrances. Like Nebras, a unisex vanilla fragrance, so delicious and enveloping, which combines red fruits and citrus fruits, but reveals a soft heart of chocolate, vanilla and rose, which explodes thanks to the preciousness of amber, Tonka bean and musk.

And we cannot fail to mention the Paris Coner brand, with the perfume Emir Fire Your Desire, another unisex oriental fragrance that opens with an alcoholic, delicious and warm touch dictated by cognac, passes through a spicy and fragrant heart of cinnamon, tonka bean and oak, to culminate in a delicious praline trail of vanilla and sandalwood.

Everyone's crazy about gourmand perfumes

What makes gourmand perfumes so special is precisely the delicious world behind this olfactory family that manages to conquer anyone who perceives the scent. The notes are irresistible, leaving no one out, because the sweetness of gourmand aromas begins with the top notes, accompanies with the heart notes and sinks into all its pleasantness, intensity and persistence, with the base notes.

The result? Leading those who wear gourmands through a unique sensory journey, full of happy memories, pleasant sensations linked to childhood, in a zone of comfort and happiness made of moments of pure enjoyment like the one you experience when you taste the best dessert.

Even the sense of smell, as well as that of taste, can celebrate the pleasures of life and gourmand perfumes embody precisely this purpose. And they do so by treading on olfactory territories never explored before, finding all those sweet notes already so attractive in themselves, whose intensity is accentuated if also included in perfumes.
