Which gourmand perfume should you choose?

Sugar, licorice, berries, marshmallow: gourmand notes are on the menu in perfume! Find the gourmand fragrance that suits you best.

1. Lancôme’s La vie est belle… to see the world through rose-colored glasses

Who is it for? Everyone who likes sweet scents.

My advice: La vie est belle is a floriental scent with caramel accents. To see the bright side of life, take the radiant smile of Julia Roberts, the face of the fragrance, as your role model.

Another perfume to try if you like the smell of caramel: Prada Candy, which is a little more powdery

2. Diesel’s Loverdose … to cast a spell over him

Who is it for? Fans of licorice. 

My advice: Diesel’s Loverdose is an oriental elixir with licorice-wood accents that are supposed to have aphrodisiac effects… The eau de toilette version is worth looking out for too: it’s fresher, with notes of apple, orange-blossom and musk.

Bottle collectors will love this multi-facetted purple heart, that has been pierced with a black dagger. 

3. Guerlain’s La petite Robe noire… to treat yourself to a scent that’s both couture and gourmand

Who is it for? Women who like berries, especially cherries.

My advice: Guerlain’s La petite Robe noire (Little Black Dress) is chic and trendy. The emblematic Guerlain bottle contains a scent that is fruity and floral, but also… resolutely gourmand!

Just a few drops behind your ears and on your wrists will be enough to leave a sweet trail everywhere you go all day long! 

4. Dolce & Gabbana pour femme… to entice, Italian style!

Who is it for? Everyone who likes smells that remind you of childhood, like the sweet scent of marshmallow.  

My advice: Dolce & Gabbana pour femme reveals a trail of marshmallow and vanilla. For the ad campaign, the design duo chose to play the sultry Italian card.

Did you know? Dolce & Gabbana first launched a fragrance of the same name back in 1994. This new version is very different, much more modern

5. Yves Rocher’s Flowerparty by Night… to party all night  

Who is it for?Women who like fruit, almonds and vanilla.

My advice:The night-time version of Flowerparty, with its addictive notes of almond, vanilla, licorice and pulpy fruit. Flowerparty by Night is an invitation to have fun and party on.

Don’t forget to give the original version of Flowerparty a(nother) try, too. It’s fruity, like “by night,” but tarter.
