Reading Time: 3 minutes

The modern lineup of gourmand fragrances have sweet accords that tease with their subtle “good enough to eat” references, yet never venture too far in the candy shop aisles. With notes like vanilla, caramel, cotton candy or chocolate, these perfumes hint at indulgence, but retain a sophisticated, non-cloying quality. 

Here are a few of our favorite unexpected gourmands this season:

NANETTE LEPORE  Beautiful Times

Beautiful Times plays with caramelized sugar and vanilla to satisfy the cravings for sweetness, but it’s the off-beat blend of mandarin peel and bergamot that steers this oriental composition into bright and fresh territory. 

A fragrance full of interesting twists, Beautiful Times will convince you that these are indeed, beautiful times…

PRADA Candy Florale 

Inherently sensual, Prada’s younger sister highlights Candy’s signature classic caramel and vanilla blend. But it’s the limoncello sorbet and peony that set Candy Florale apart from its dessert-sweet predecessor, securing its place in the temptingly floral category.

MONTALE Chocolate Greedy

A scent-sational recommendation just in time for fall season ahead: With 4 out of 5 star ratings, reviewers on our site agree this Montale number is one of the most flirtatious scents ever.

Built upon the rich notes of vanilla and dried fruits, Chocolate Greedy delivers sumptuous sweetness in every spray. In an unexpected turn, coffee and cacao impart warmth, while the creamy tonka bean makes for a scent that blankets – but never overpowers the skin.

CATHERINE MALANDRINO Romance de Provence

Romance de Provence is an addictive juicy gourmand that features luscious pear slowly dipped in caramel, sprinkled with vanilla and served with black currant and mandarin orange

Vibrant and energizing for the day and deeply sensual for the night, this is the scent we’ll be reaching for all season long. And the next one.
