Soft, Sweet, and Utterly Delicious: The Perfume Trend You’ll Want to Take a Bite Out Of

Notes: Sugar Crystals, Cashmere Wood, Vanilla

Vanilla Skin is the perfect fragrance for someone who wants to smell sweet but not like a literal baked good. The warm, second-skin-like notes in this fragrance balance out the vanilla for an alluring, surprisingly subtle gourmand.

Notes: Orange, Meringue, Baked Butter Cookie

Oh My Gourmand is exactly what the name would have you believe: A gourmand so well done that it will have you texting all your friends an “OMG” after your first sniff. It opens with zesty orange, grapefruit, and red currant notes and dries down to a buttery, rich vanilla scent that smells like a bakery in a bottle.

Notes: Pure Vanilla, Cotton Candy, Coconut Milk

This perfume makes it feel like you’re eating cotton candy on a boardwalk, basking in the sunshine by the ocean—even in the dead of winter. It’s nostalgic, sweet, and super wearable.

Notes: Cherry, Almond, Vanilla

If you love Tom Ford Lost Cherry but aren’t as big a fan of the price tag, this Dossier perfume inspired by it is the fragrance for you. It’s sweet, spicy, and signature-scent worthy.

Notes: Orange Blossom, Roasted Pistachio, Baklava

If you’ve ever had baklava, you know the syrupy sweetness is absolutely delicious. That same nutty, rich, buttery quality is what makes Beirut Baklava such a favorite.

Notes: Strawberry, Pink Marshmallow, Whipped Vanilla

If you want a sweet gourmand perfume with a fruity, sparkling quality, it doesn’t get better than Yum Boujee Marshmallow. It’s a crowd-pleasing scent that will have everyone asking what you’re wearing.

Notes: Whipped Cream, Ice Cream, Waffle Cone

When you’re eating ice cream, you may not be thinking that’s what you want to smell like, but once you catch a whiff of Lick Me, that’s exactly what you’ll want every time you grab a cone. It’s the perfect winter gourmand for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Notes: Caramel, Whipped Coconut, Milky Musks

Sometimes, in colder weather, you want something that’s just as warm and spicy as it is sweet. Queens Caramel balances its gourmand notes with salt and musk for a well-rounded treat of a scent.

Notes: Vanilla Buttercream Icing, Maple Caramel Crème, Tonka Bean

This fragrance is honestly the ultimate gourmand in my book. Despite smelling like a fresh piece of cake, it still manages to have a light, woody quality that makes it such a versatile perfume.

Notes: Mango Juice, Bourbon Vanilla, Gold Amber

Gourmand perfumes don’t have to be just one note. Narcotica may be a vanilla scent, but with the addition of mango, green matcha absolute, and white flowers, it’s a complex fragrance unlike anything else you’ve smelled.

Notes: Croissant Accord, Wild Berry Jam, Toasted Vanilla

Just reading the scent description for Crumb Couture is enough to make you hungry. It’s decadent, buttery, and endlessly delicious.

Notes: Bergamot, Caramel Cream, Sandalwood

If you think that body mists don’t last, you’ve clearly never tried one from Phlur. This fragrance balances decadence with a fresh, woody twist that will have you spraying it nonstop.

Notes: Wild Cherry, Turkish Rose, Almond Amaretto

If you see a rose note and immediately think of your grandma, Not Another Cherry will show you just how delicious rose can smell when done right. Here, it helps create an insanely good, rich cherry scent.

Notes: Marshmallow, Vanilla Bean, Sweet Rice Milk

Mochi Milk is the ideal perfume for someone who wants to smell subtly sweet without leaning too literal. It’s not a realistic bakery scent like some gourmands, but rather a decadent twist on vanilla that I can’t get enough of.
