Sweet & Gourmand

Gourmand perfume: sweet, warm and easy to love

A gourmand fragrance borrows from the kitchen: vanilla, sugar, nuts, chocolate, fruit. Done well, it feels comforting rather than sickly, and that's what we've aimed for here. This collection covers everything from cosy and creamy to dark and boozy, so there's a sweet scent for most tastes.

Playful and creamy

Montecito, inspired by Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato 33, is pistachio, whipped cream and hazelnut over tonka. Palm Springs is inspired by Kayali and leans into marshmallow, vanilla and coconut. Santa Monica is also inspired by Kayali, with vanilla cream and candied pear. If you like a sweet perfume that smells fun, these are the ones to look at.

Rich, dark and night-ready

Tokyo, inspired by Tom Ford Lost Cherry, is black cherry, bitter almond and Turkish rose. Barcelona, inspired by Carolina Herrera Good Girl, mixes tuberose, almond, cacao and tonka. Sydney, inspired by Tom Ford Fabulous, adds leather and clary sage. Las Vegas, inspired by Rabanne 1 Million, is a spicy, amber-led scent for him with leather and cinnamon. These feel best from early evening onwards.

Sweet but fresh

Not everyone wants dessert. Saint-Tropez, inspired by Lancome La Vie Est Belle, is iris and praline with vanilla. Mykonos, inspired by Rabanne Lady Million, brings honey, raspberry and jasmine. Ibiza, inspired by Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, is coconut and tuberose with a holiday feel. Sweet scents don't need to be heavy, and lighter ones suit daytime.

Wearing sweet scents without overdoing it

Gourmand perfume rewards a light hand. Two or three sprays of an Eau de Parfum is plenty, and the scent will bloom on your skin over the first half hour. Pair a sweeter scent with simple, clean clothes and it feels effortless rather than heavy. If you like a more grown-up take, choose one with spice, leather or wood alongside the sweetness, like Las Vegas or Sydney.

For an everyday gourmand, lighter vanilla and fruit scents work well in the office. Save the richer cacao and cherry ones for dinner. And if you can't choose, our Kayali inspired bundles let you try several sweet scents in one go.
