Many of our Fragrance Familia shoppers ask us, "What exactly are gourmand fragrances?" This is a very fair question, especially for newcomers. Gourmand perfumes are a category of fragrances that are inspired by delicious food and desserts. They often feature notes of vanilla, chocolate, caramel, and other sweet scents. Gourmand perfumes can be very comforting and nostalgic, and they are perfect for those who want to smell like a delicious treat.
