Questions and answers

What does gourmand mean in perfume?

It refers to scents built around edible associations such as vanilla, praline, caramel, almond, sometimes chocolate or creamy notes, interpreted in a perfumed and often luxe way.

Are gourmand scents always heavy?

Not necessarily. Many gourmand scents can be soft and close to the skin, especially when balanced with musk or brighter top notes.

When do sweet scents work best?

Evenings, dinner, dates and cooler weather. They can work for everyday wear too, usually with a lighter dose.

How many sprays is enough?

Start with 1 to 3 sprays. Sweeter bases can feel more present indoors. Build up carefully instead.

How do I keep the sweetness from feeling like too much?

Use fewer sprays and apply to 1 to 2 points. A light reapply later often looks better than going heavy right away.
