To answer that question......its not that I aim to smell like food. Its that wearing things like caramel and chocolate give me a huge dose of comfort and positivity!
I get the fruity notes in Italica also, and I'm blind, so definitely not influenced by the color of the bottle. It reminds me of some cherry cereal I had as a child-we used it to make a version of George Washington's apocryphal cherry tree for an art project.
In my view it's not smelling like food, it's smelling like places where food plays a prominent role, restaurants, cafes, kitchens, bakeries etc. All places where people are generally happy and comfortable. My favorite sort of gourmand is My Greek Lover by Untamed. It's not all gourmand, but has a strong citrus (and grape) opening with some nice herbal notes after that reminds me a lot of Greek restaurants. Basically the only nice restaurants I could afford when I was a University student. Good memories, fantastic fragrance.
Particularly glad for the detail of mentioning "similar idea" between Unknown Pleasures and Bake. I'm a fan of Akro, but given the difference in drydowns, I'll take the Kerosene option where there are similar fragrances. (Give me Follow, over Awake, too -- again just they way develop). Thought about this from samples, a bunch, liking both houses in general. I'm really curious to sample the Profumo di Firenze! Never tried any bready fragrance, to my recollection. Thanks for the survey, once again, Sebastian.
I'm a man that loves gourmand scents. Idc if anyone is bothered by it. I am an Army war vet and would be in a strategic planning conference smelling like exotic fruits. Right now I'm wearing a lot of Tonkazure and smell like blueberry compost. I got the Mystery Box and Calaj- Delizia Oscura is a sexy chocolate potent fragrance I love.
I really love Mind Games- Grand Master, it's kinda of a different take on Ristretto Intense Cafe with the rose, cafe, but changed up with myrrh, incense and panacotta! Pretty beastly too!
I enjoyed Theodoros Kalotinis Coffee Addict. That smelled like realistic toffee with caramel, like a creamy syrup. They have a big range of fragrances that lean gourmand.
A truly delicious video!!! 😋 Still have to try Jany and Amore Caffe. To me gourmands are the most comforting fragrances, can't get enough! Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!

Sebastian, you mention Kerosene quite a lot, yet never a fragrance called Sweetly Known, which to me it smells like baked cookies, if you haven’t tried it, please do, I think you will love it 😊
Gourmands are my absolute favorite!! I really need to try the one by Profumo Di Firenze. Jany, Bianco Latte, and Lemon Tart are some of my current faves. Great video Sebastian!😍
I find gourmands very comforting. I used to like sophisticated perfumy perfumes but as I spend more time at home I look for easy grab delicious scents :)
I love gourmand fragrances, and have collected several from this list. I am particularly fond of the Akro fragrances. Dark, Awake and Bake are favorites. I use them together a lot after you suggested I do so. I also use them with Mancera fragrances frequently. Bake and Amore Caffè is a combination I particularly enjoy. Thanks for your help.
Years ago I worked at Neiman Marcus In the Epicure Department managing the gourmet chocolate counter. There was nothing better than opening up in the morning smelling those delicious delicacies! When I went home in the evening my husband would say I smelled good enough to eat! I have been addicted to gourmand scents ever since !
Great video yet again! One of my favorite gourmand fragrances is brand new to the market-Guerlain’s Habit Rouge Parfum. Terrific reinterpretation of the classic Habit Rouge- superb blend of vanilla, tonka, leather and citrus. Keep up the great work.
I sprayed the Delizia Oscura sample on the blotter card one too many times and I cannot get the smell out of my living room. I have washed all the pillows and blankets. I lit candles sprayed air fresheners and it is still lingering. Might be the strongest perfume I've ever smelled!
Man, there are some good ones here. I tend to like scents that have gourmand elements, but don't just smell like food. For instance, I love Loudo, Bee, and Rouge Saray, but I'm not as into Unknown Pleasures and Whiff of a Waffle Cone. Speaking of Rouge Saray...have you heard if they are ever going to give us an extrait of that one? I figured it was a sure shot once they started with the extraits, but haven't heard anything in the last couple years.
Sebastian, what's your opinion of Carthusia's gourmand fragrance, Terra Mia Eau de Parfum? Notes: Bergamot, Neroli, Pink Pepper, Coffee, Ambroxan, Hazelnut, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Rose, Amberwood, Musk, and Vanilla.
As long as people eat desserts, we will always have gourmand fragrances. I just wish the fragrance world would tap into more non-western based desserts like Asian or Middle-Eastern dessert inspired frags.
Sweets are delicious. So, why not want to smell delicious and like your favorite treats? I'm new to coffee scents, but I love me some tonka beans and Praline.
Tom Ford Vanilla Sex… I was super excited about it, but when I tested it in the local store, I got quite disappointed.. to me is quite bland, but maybe I need a more thorough test.
I only have Amore Caffe out all of his collections lol I wish to sample Kerosene Unknown Pleasure but it's so hard to get it in Asia especially Malaysia!
I usually steer clear of gourmands, especially modern vanillas which tend to smell like smeared, salty butter on my skin; very unpleasant and greasy.😅I enjoy sniffing them in the bottles though.
I don’t love full on Gourmands but love gourmand notes. Something else has to be going on. I love floral and herbal notes in my food. Although I love coffee and chocolate and vanilla flavours, I don’t really like them in the forefront of my fragrances.
Great video! Some of these sound quite enticing and I will be getting samples if possible. Question: What fragrances smell like wine, particularly a dark, rich red wine?
What’s rhe best coffee scent for you? Trying to choose between, follow, awake, & kaffe amore. Just want to know your opinion on these scents from different houses..
I don't even think of gourmands as smelling like food. They just smell delicious and yummy and who doesn't want to smell delicious and yummy? I love the smell gourmand fragrances leave on my pillow after sleeping.
I'm surprised you didn't include Delizia oscura. I actually really liked it when I tried it last night. I =found it weird off the atomizer, but it was amazing on skin.
Oh.... as far as "why do you want to smell like food?".... Why do you want to smell like flowers? WHy do you want to smell like incense? Why do you want to smell like a car seat? Why do you want to smell like citrus? Why do you want to smell like spices? Why do you want to smell like lumber? Why do you want to smell like a campfire? Why do you want to smell like a Gualtieri sex fantasy? Why do you want to smell like your imagination of spacedust? Why do you want to smell like dirt after a storm? .... I don't even understand why the question.
Ok I am a gourmand lover, but one thing I dislike deeply is oversweet perfumes. I was sooooo disappointed in Amore Coffee. I LOVE coffee with milk and sugar. I am a fan of coffee but this one smells like a bad over sweet tiramisu. I am super disappointed. So sad. II can t diff Montale and MAncera perfumes. So sad they are the rare ones to make dessert coffee perfumes. stanbul and the Diorama are so amazing, true! PROFUMO DI FIRENZE Matelda, is the best gourand from this house.

Yes, yes and YES! Gourmands lovers unite.. 😂
Me too big fan of gourmands and why not smell like a dessert. I love smelling delicious.
YES
Me too
To answer that question......its not that I aim to smell like food. Its that wearing things like caramel and chocolate give me a huge dose of comfort and positivity!
Rouge Sarây is a winter staple for me!
It's so good!!
Don’t have much experience with gourmands, but I do really love xerjoff starlight!
Awake and Dark, especially DARK, is absolutely exceptional.

How you describe some of these gourmands,makes my mouth water….😋great list btw

I need to try Vanilla Diorama on my next bundle of purchase around September 😊
Roja Dove Sweetie Aoud.... to me by far the best and most delicious gourmand i ever smelled
Akro awake layered with mancera's amore cafe creates a beautiful coffee experience! Highly recommend!
A truly delicious video!!! 😋 Still have to try Jany and Amore Caffe. To me gourmands are the most comforting fragrances, can't get enough! Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!

Love gourmands...and your reviews too ahaha
Many thank you's!! :)

Hello yes me too!! :)
My favorite scent group.
It was my pleasure Sebastian!
I’m anxious for the launch of Rabbit on May 24. Zoologist’s new gourmand fragrance!! 🎉
Amore caffe mancera is brown sugar boba Milk tea on my skin
You are the best. Greats from Germany
Wow, thanks!
I'm not a gourmand girl but Fior di Pane is GORGEOUS. To me it smells like caramelized popcorn.
These gourmand fragrances all sound yummy!
They are delicious. Thank you for stopping by Phyllis!! :)

From ATELIER DES ORS Lune Felines is also a good gourmand
I don’t eat sugar since I’ve been on a keto diet for years… so I’m loving gourmand fragrances more than ever 😅❤
Gourmands are my favorite, simply because they make me feel happy
I sprayed the Delizia Oscura sample on the blotter card one too many times and I cannot get the smell out of my living room. I have washed all the pillows and blankets. I lit candles sprayed air fresheners and it is still lingering. Might be the strongest perfume I've ever smelled!
I love Apple Crisp!!
Whiff of a Waffle Cone was a total scrubber for me unfortunately. I do love Bianco Latte though by Giardini Di Toscana and TF’s Vanilla Sex.

Hi Seb! I want to smell like food because food is enticing, comforting, and delicious! Especially sweet, creamy, & fruity food!
Sebastian, what's your opinion of Carthusia's gourmand fragrance, Terra Mia Eau de Parfum? Notes: Bergamot, Neroli, Pink Pepper, Coffee, Ambroxan, Hazelnut, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Rose, Amberwood, Musk, and Vanilla.
If you search my channel with that phrase, you will find that I have featured it in multiple videos. I enjoy it, but have gotten a bit bored of it.
ITALICA and Rouge Saray my favourite from this list
As long as people eat desserts, we will always have gourmand fragrances. I just wish the fragrance world would tap into more non-western based desserts like Asian or Middle-Eastern dessert inspired frags.
I love your view on the fragrance you review. Can you do a more affordable review too.
Loved this video. I was looking for gourmand
Fire at well Psychedelique and Indult Tihota ate delicious
Tihota 😍 so simple yet no other vanilla compares...
Hello Sebastian! Thank you for the video. I love gourmands!! 👌❤

Not really a fan of smelling like food but I love “Oud Bouquet” ❤️
I only have Amore Caffe out all of his collections lol I wish to sample Kerosene Unknown Pleasure but it's so hard to get it in Asia especially Malaysia!

I'd love to get my nose on Istanbul and Jany.
My nephew asked me a few years ago, “Why do you want to smell like coffee?” 😂 😂
😂 My moms said the same thing to me 🤭
I love your gourmand videos !
Thank you!! :)

Gourmands? Kerosene has some killer ones! Oh and Killian Black Phantom...
I don't even think of gourmands as smelling like food. They just smell delicious and yummy and who doesn't want to smell delicious and yummy? I love the smell gourmand fragrances leave on my pillow after sleeping.
Here to stay!!!❤❤❤🎉
Thanks for sharing 😇
Wait til the mosquitos start to chase you around. You will rethink that gourmand idea👀
❤ Rouge Saray 🍯💜🤎
Lira ?

Finally someone with a good review of Tom Ford’s Vanilla sex it’s sooo good & great longevity/sillage 😂😂 i love it but the price is truly atrocious.
Why would you want to smell like anything? Because it smells good!
Vanilla Diorama is great my Favorite 😍 and Intense cafe is pretty good. Some days you want to smell like so someone can eat you 😉🥰😋
Killian Black Phantom left off a gourmand list?
Yes it's not all about Kilian. There are other brands out there!! ;)
I'm surprised you didn't include Delizia oscura. I actually really liked it when I tried it last night. I =found it weird off the atomizer, but it was amazing on skin.
The video was shot 3 months ago!

Looking to sell my Dior Vanilla Diorama. Blind buy and a little too spicy for me. I’ll sell it at good discount!
I didn't like my sample at all, I only got spices with no vanilla, glad it wasn't just my nose!
How much??
Feve discontinued whattttt
I'm gourmand lovers.
Welcome to the club! :)
Ok I am a gourmand lover, but one thing I dislike deeply is oversweet perfumes. I was sooooo disappointed in Amore Coffee. I LOVE coffee with milk and sugar. I am a fan of coffee but this one smells like a bad over sweet tiramisu. I am super disappointed. So sad. II can t diff Montale and MAncera perfumes. So sad they are the rare ones to make dessert coffee perfumes. stanbul and the Diorama are so amazing, true! PROFUMO DI FIRENZE Matelda, is the best gourand from this house.
Who coined the term “smelling like a snack”? Maybe they’re the ones that are behind the marketing of these types of perfumes.
I wish we had more masculine-leaning gourmands
The only thing I love more than a gourmand is a boozy gourmand. 😊
🌹
My least favorite genre lol
SAY THAT SH*T AGAIN
