Gourmand

The fragrance family

A world of gourmand

Vanilla, caramel, praline, almond, coffee and chocolate are among this family’s expressive notes. Their sweetness can be tempered by dry woods, smoky accents, spice or earthy patchouli. A gourmand may suggest a delicate confection, a dark espresso or a softly toasted warmth; richness and restraint each have a place in its vocabulary.

Sweet materials had appeared in perfume long before the modern gourmand category took shape. Mugler’s Angel, introduced in 1992, became a landmark by making an assertive edible accord central to its identity. Its influence opened a remarkable field of experimentation, encouraging perfumers to treat appetite and nostalgia as subjects worthy of serious composition.

At RichandLuxe, explore gourmand fragrances for their contrasts as well as their indulgence. Consider the difference between creamy and roasted, airy and enveloping, sugared and bittersweet. Our signature formats allow you to spend time with those distinctions and find a composition whose pleasures feel personal—a small ritual, chosen with discernment.
