Sugar and Spice and Scents Alike (Gourmand Fragrances)

[Charlynnx]

This thread is for those who have (or want to have) a collection of gourmand fragrances. Whether you are looking for recommendations or providing them, we can all agree that there is no such thing as a perfume that is “too sweet”.

I recently began my perfume journey after a friend shared the hype over Rihanna’s signature perfume scent. Intrigued, I placed an order online. Meanwhile, I ended up on PerfumeTok on Tik Tok and created a list of all the “sweet” fragrances that were highly reviewed by others. I then found my way to Sephora and Ulta, heading towards the Fragrance section (specifically the travel sizes, because I cannot commit to full-sized bottles), and leaving with at least 2-3 new fragrance purchases. I did this quite a few times, which is how I ended up with my 10 bottle collection.

Below is a list of what is currently in my collection. I will add details about each fragrance later on:

1. Kilian - I Don’t Need a Prince By My Side To Be A Princess

2. Kilian - Love Don’t Be Shy

3. Atelier - Vanille Incensee

4. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa ‘62 EDP

5. The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods

6. Burberry Her

7. Ariana Grande - Ari

8. Ariana Grande - Cloud

9. Ariana Grande - Sweet Like Candy

Reapond to this post by listing the gourmands in your collection, gourmand fragrances you are waiting to try, gourmand fragrances you love or don’t love, etc.

Gourmands are not my favourite genre and I typically don't like sweet scents, but gourmand-esque fragrances I enjoy

• Mona di Orio Vanille
• KILIAN Paris Intoxicated 1.7 oz/ 50 mL
• Etat Libre's Like This though these days I'm finding it a little harsh
• L'Artisan Parfumeur Tea for Two 
• Serge Lutens' Five O'Clock Au Gingembre
• Zoologist's Civet which is not at all animalistic to me, it's more of a very dark toffee, again not super sweet
