Gourmand Perfumes – Sweet, milky and deliciously edible trails

Niche gourmand perfumes: edible pleasure in haute parfumerie

Gourmand, a contemporary family born in 1992

Gourmand perfumes are one of the most contemporary families in haute parfumerie, born in 1992 with Angel by Mugler. They draw their signature from edible, sweet notes — vanilla, caramel, chocolate, almond, honey, coffee, tonka bean, milk, biscuit and candied fruits. This family evokes pleasure, childhood and sensuality, in compositions that are sometimes light (milky gourmands), sometimes opulent (smoky-wood gourmands).

Soleil d'Or's gourmand best-sellers

Our catalogue offers a rich selection in this family, including these customer favourites: Impadia, Fire at Will, Cuir InfraRouge, Crème Brûlante and Rouge Smoking Extrait, signatures that span every nuance of the family.

The houses that excel in gourmands

Several houses in our catalogue excel in this contemporary family. Akro turns addictions into perfumes (Bake, Awake). Giardini di Toscana created Bianco Latte, a viral phenomenon. Initio Parfums Privés offers magnetic gourmands (Side Effect). Serge Lutens carries on Un Bois Vanille. And Versatile cultivates accessible gourmand pleasures.

Who should wear a gourmand perfume, and when?

Gourmands suit every temperament, regardless of gender. These trails are particularly well suited to autumn and winter, when the skin enhances sweet and woody notes. They are also perfect for evenings and the end of the day. For complementary nuances, explore vanilla (very close), oriental, smoky and amber fragrances, four kindred families that often blend together.

How to choose your gourmand perfume?

Hesitating between Impadia and Fire at Will is perfectly normal: a gourmand perfume is chosen according to your favourite notes and when you plan to wear it. Our discovery box lets you try several creations at home before committing to a full bottle.
