The Full Story

A gourmand accord evokes notes that smell edible, such as honey, chocolate, vanilla or candy.

Gourmand is an accord, not a single ingredient. Perfumes built on it are gourmand perfumes.

In our range, Insuline Safrine carries edible notes. It opens with saffron, bitter almond and clove. Spun sugar and buttery notes sit in the heart. The base holds Madagascar vanilla, Sri Lanka cinnamon and roasted hazelnut. Try it in the Discovery Set. For the longer story of gourmand perfumes, read Gourmand Perfume: Born From Dessert.

A material used in gourmand perfumes
