Gourmand Accord

2 perfumes

Gourmand accords evoke the comforting essence of edible treats, characterized by rich, sugary, and decadent profiles ranging from caramelized praline and creamy vanilla to toasted nuts and warm spices. Belonging to the sweet olfactive family, these notes provide a tactile, mouth-watering depth that anchors a composition. They pair naturally with spicy notes like cardamom or deep resins like amber, creating a sophisticated balance that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. In the Gulf, these accords are masterfully utilized to add a modern, indulgent layer to traditional mukhallats, offering a luxurious contrast to heavy ouds. They perform exceptionally well during the cooler winter evenings or indoor social gatherings, where the controlled climate allows the complex, sugary sillage to linger elegantly on the skin without being overwhelmed by the intense heat of the region.
