When it comes to choosing the right perfume, there are differing opinions. Some love it tart and fresh, for others the scented water can't be sweet enough. Especially if you belong to the latter category, gourmand fragrances are just right for you.
These smell wonderfully delicious and are therefore perfect if you prefer perfumes with sweet scents. Mmmm! The best thing: The sweet-smelling products have no calories at all.
We'll show you which are the best and most popular gourmand scents - especially for those with a sweet tooth and fine sniffing noses.
What exactly are gourmand scents?
Gourmand perfume – what is it exactly? Maybe you've heard about it when visiting a perfumery or have stumbled across the category while shopping online. Strictly speaking, this fragrance category includes all perfumes whose scents remind us of sweet treats. Gourmand (French) means sweet tooth or treat.
Vanilla, caramel or even popcorn – even if the individual scents are different, they all have one thing in common: they simply smell delicious! For some, it brings back childhood memories, while others want to really celebrate the contemplative season with the sweet smells.
No matter why you use perfumes, if you like sweet scents, you should take a closer look at the following versions with gourmand scents.
With a subtle caramel note: Candy from Prada
The sweet scent from Prada is one of the most popular women's fragrances and, thanks to the caramel note in the base, also one of the most popular gourmand perfumes. The perfume opens with a rather fresh musky scent, which quickly transitions into a warm vanilla note and caramel scent. If you sniff it, you might suspect a honey essence behind the creamy combination.
Despite the sweet fragrance components, the perfume is not heavy at all - quite the opposite. The integration of natural benzoin, musk and sweet vanilla with caramel make the perfume a subtly sweet scent that will delight many sweet tooths.
With vanilla and cocoa: Eilish by Billie Eilish
If you're looking for a sweet and spicy scent, you should try Billie Eilish's perfume. Fruity components of mandarin and red berries open the scent. The tangy smell quickly transitions into a very warm heart note of cocoa, vanilla and soft spice nuances. We particularly like the base notes of warm musk, tonka bean and gently spicy woods.
We think the perfume is perfect for autumn and winter, when you want to have creamy, spicy smells around you again. The bottle with the golden bust is also really impressive. The only question left is: would you rather give the fragrance as a gift or give it to yourself?!

Surprised with popcorn: Idôle Nectar from Lancôme
Be careful, this perfume is addictive! The mix of floral Isparta rose, fruity peach and sweet vanilla and popcorn components is not only ultra-refined, but also refreshingly delicious. That's right, because if you sniff it carefully, you'll discover the subtle, sweet popcorn scent that makes this neo-gourmand scent so extraordinary.
So if you are looking for a feminine but not too heavy fragrance, you should definitely try the new luxurious version from the Idôle range. The peach-colored bottle also looks great.
Fruity-sweet: candy from Viktor & Rolf
The name says it all! Because the popular fragrance from Viktor & Rolf smells like a fruity-sweet candy tastes. While the top notes still contain tangy components of orange, peach and mandarin, the heart notes of caramel and jasmine make it much creamier. The strong finish of woody notes and amber make the perfume a sophisticated perfume variant from the gourmand category.

With Marshmallow: thank u, next 2.0 by Ariana Grande
The popular perfume “thank u, next 2.0” by Ariana Grande smells sugary sweet, but also very seductive. Because the base notes of pink marshmallow, musk and sandalwood are simply super sensual. While the top note surprises with a fruity composition of apple, strawberry and pomegranate, the heart note of orchid and jasmine also becomes refreshingly floral.
Not only fans of the singer, but also fans of playful fragrances will get their money's worth with this creation. This gourmand perfume is just right for anyone with a sweet tooth.
