It is 100% true that you hear someone compare s fragrance to something (sometimes unflattering) and then you smell it yourself and can't forget it. Just this morning I was listening to another fragrance content creator start talking about the scent I am wearing, and low and behold... it makes her think of baby throw up. 🤦♀️ I'm trying to shake that off!
These people are too attached to their suffering! Just know that most of the time when soneone does that with a fragrance that It's really something deeper going on... that has nothing to do with the fragrance ❤
Thanks Veronica! I feel the same way about gourmands! But while we're on the subject...yesterday my husband blind bought me Hufflepuff! It's not on my list and I've never even sampled it! He just said he wanted me to have a cupcake😊❤
My husband has surprised me with some House of Sillage cupcakes, too. I guess their marketing appeals to men looking for gifts. I hope you love Hufflepuff. I think it smells like a delicious lemon pound cake. So yummy 🧁
I have many gourmand loves and can’t choose just one. But I will pick a gourmand in each category. My favorite Coffee leaning and my SOTD is Vietnamese Coffee. Lemon leaning is Lira. Chocolate leaning hands down Feve Gourmand. Caramel leaning is Bianco Latte. Milk leaning is Afternoon Delight( honorable mention Love me Latte). marshmallow/caramel - Bombòn by House of Bō. Honey leaning -Melipona. 🍫 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫
My number one gourmand is an oldie but goodie - Lira. ❤ Some other loves are Seta by Moresque, Jasmins Marzipane by Lancome, Tangier Vanille d‘Or by Aerin, Secret Sucré by Molinard, Symphonium by Xerjoff (special occasions only 😂), Vanilla Love by Jimmy Choo, Fève Tonka de Canaima by Boucheron … so many beauties!
Jax.. I called the Kilian boutique in Las Vegas again and they still don't have a release date for the new Angel's Share flanker but she said "for sure" sometime before 🎄 Christmas which means November or December. She said "call back in a month". 🎁
Pinrose Secret Genius AND Monte BlancSignature ❤❤❤ I COULDNT CHOOSE ONE OVER THE OTHER😬 OOH MAYBE I’LL LAYER THEM, may be a little too sweet, but I’m gonna give it a try anyways 😊
I want to try CP so bad! What about Pop didn't give me a popcorn note at all. Not sure if it was the stupid little luckyscent sample I was trying, or it just doesn't want to come out on my skin 😢
Oh I love the gourmands!! And I agree, I really like Nest Vanilla Bourbon! And my goodness, I do love Commodity Milk! I would love to add them all to my collection. 😂
About half of my collection is gourmands but my favorites are Lira, Black Opium Le Parfum, Un Pistache and Bianco Latte 😋 the last two layered are bomb!
I’m loving lemony vanillas, too! Just wishing they would last longer. Love and Crime is on my wish list. Don’t love the opening as much as Lira, but it seems to smell very similar after a few minutes, and I’ve heard it projects better than Lira.
Fave gourmand of the moment is Gioiosa - Profumum Roma. To me, it's a little bit dry at first, but it lives for DAYS on clothes and dries down to smell like vanilla buttercream frosting. I like to spray it on my hang around the house sweater- yummy :)
I guess I am not really a gourmand person, but I do love Choco Violette, and I just bought Montblanc Signature and got a compliment right out of the gate! It is a very subtle, polite, barely there gourmand. I am going to have to get the larger bottle. I am very intrigued by the Guerlain one that you featured! Have a beautiful, fall day, Veronica.🍫
I have a few gourmands, but not a lot. Today I happen to be wearing Pierre Guillaume’s Myrrhiad, which is such a warm comforting, almost-gourmand scent. The notes are black tea, myrrh, and vanilla - sooooo good!
My favorite gourmand would have to be Panettone. Esp in Nov and December, then probably Angel share and I still enjoy coffee fragrances… in Oct I wear Kerosene Follow, but I only wear it for about 4-6 weeks then put it away.. so I don’t get sick of it. I do love unknown pleases too….But I adore gourmands and wear them all the time. I probably could wipe myself down with cotton candy and be happy about it…. Or spilled coffee😜 love your videos… thank you so much for taking the time to share with us your lovely thoughts 💕💕💕
Ahhh Panettone is such a fun one. You're smart to enjoy a perfume then put it away to keep the joy alive. Good idea! Now cotton candy is a scent that I can douse myself in also. So good!
looked at my collection to drop my fav gourmand but they’re not really my thing as well! Closest would be Lush’s American Cream it smells like a tub of frosting inside the lush store. Also love Tobacco Pod which I sampled and bought off your recommendation in an older video. Sooo vanilla-y with tobacco
Stephane Humbert Lucas Sand Dance is definitely up there... But there are so many ❤ I would recommend that you get your nose on Cherry Ambition. I really feel that it gives TF a worthy challenge
🍫 I am in a phase of delicious, heavier fragrances and I wear them daily, anywhere, work too. Devotion is my top perfume, also I loooove Bianco latte I think you convinced me to try Amore caffé 😉 I have some hazelnut and coffee perdumes, it could be good for layering.. Right? Right? 😂😂❤❤❤❤ Love you V, thanks for bringing sunshine here on youtube! Martina
Must try Commodity Milk, been on my wish list for a while. Love Amore Caffe, the coffee is nicely balanced by the tiramisu and ice cream note.Tea for Two and Noir Exquis are two of my faves when the mercury drops. Akro Bake on my skin gave me vanilla sponge cake with lemon frosting. Nothing wrong with that but a few reviewers mentioned a sweet pastry note and I was looking forward to that but didn’t pick up on it at all. Thanks for all of the suggestions (and one of your viewers mentioned Jany, which I need to get my nose on so thanks to them too) ☺️ 🍫 🍨 ☕️
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on all of these! Commodity Milk should be at Sephora to try out (if it's a big store). Two for Two and Noir Exquis I used to own. Great choices all around. 🥰💖
Hey Veronica. Fabulous picks! I adore gourmands. Always excited to wear them again. Minuit Et Demi, Dates Delight and Rouge Saray and some of my favorites. My newest, Devotion is quickly becoming a love. Have a good week! 🍫🍪
Love & Crime by Ex Idolo is my favorite gourmand, however, like you, I am kind of over the whole literal gourmand thing. Gourmand leaning is fine, but lately I am leaning into more vintage style sweet ones like Houbigant's Mon Boudoir.
Morning toast & coffee with Veronica!! ☕️😃 It's Thanksgiving here in Canada and I am thankful for you my friend! 🙏🏼🥰 I do like semi-gourmands, I'm not sure that I have a purely gourmand favourite.. 🤔 But if I had to choose it would probably be a lemon vanilla cake type scent 😊 We'll be having angel food cake with lemon curd and whipped cream today at Thanksgiving dinner, so excited! 🥰😍✨💛
Dedcool Taunt reminds me the most of that angel food cake/lemon curd & whipped cream vibe.. I wore it to bed last night. 🫶🏻✨💛 As I'm listening to you, I'm realizing I do like some fragrances like Lost in a Dream that are more gourmand leaning. Aww yes Cafe Cabanel is nice! 😊 Yes I remember your initial reaction to Vanilla Bourbon! 😂 It really is nice though right? 😃 🍫🍫🍫❤️
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! 🎉🎉🎉 I'm grateful for you as well! 🙏🙏🙏 Enjoy the delicious angel food cake with lemon curd - sounds yummy 😋 Semi-gourmands (like Love Delight) are much more comfortable and easy for me, too.
My very favorite gourmand I have ever owned is Black Opium Le Parfum. I just finished a 1.6 oz bottle of that this morning. I got that bottle from Ebay, was supposed to be BO Extreme and she sent the wrong one, which really turned out to be a very happy accident. I'll have to look for another bargain because I refuse to spend more than $45 for any perfume. I've since bought a 5 mil sample of the Extreme version from Scents Angel and love that one, too, but the Le Parfum hits the right spot. I find that I don't like pistachio (never even ate one so it was not a familiar scent when I got Khair Pistachio, not a fan) nor do I like chocolate or cherry in my perfumes. Caramel, vanilla and coffee are my favorite gourmand notes. Creme Brulee sounds right up my alley. My newest purchase is Lattafa Nebras and I think I like that one a lot, but need to wear it more. I have not eaten sweets in about five years, though I used to be 100% a sugar addict; I guess this is my indulgence, the scent of sweets if I can't have the taste. ~ Cynthia
Congratulations on NOT having sweets in five years! Not an easy accomplishment! 🎉 Black Opium Le Parfum is downright amazing. Good choice! I think it's one of the most amazing vanilla releases in recent years. 💖💖💖
@@VeronicaSays It's easy when you're not hungry and eat only nutrient dense foods like beef, eggs and butter. I've been mostly carnivore for years now, no more weight issues and a host of other benefits. No cravings.
Love Don't be Shy ❤ My absolute favorite gourmand. The first time I tried it, I thought I want to smell like this forever 😅 I recently got it's older formulation as well.
I’m so glad you did this. I’m almost tired of gourmands or I’m just not crazy about them. I love Lost Cherry, D&G Devotion and Cheirosa 62 & 71. Mont Blanc Signature will always be a favorite!! I’ve tried many others but just don’t want to smell like food!😂 I said it about driving to work in my scrubs with my morning coffee and nothing made me more upset than spilling any amount on me!! I smelled coffee all day! Most times I’d get a pair of hospital scrubs to make my 12 hours not so torturous to me! It will not come out until it’s washed! I’m sorry!! Didn’t mean to ruin it for you but I can’t do actual coffee smells!! Have a great weekend!!❤
Hey Jackie! 💖🍫💖🍫 I enjoy gourmands in doses. Can't wear them every day though. I get overwhelmed by the sweetness. The person I had in mind specifically said Coffee Addict made them feel that way, so don't feel bad - you didn't ruin it! Although I could see wanting to change if you spilled coffee on yourself. That smells gets nauseating!
🍫🍫hey Veronica! Always enjoy watching you. I’m glad you ended up liking that Vanilla Nest perfume at the end. I have smelled it myself, but I had heard some “not so great” reviews. And didn’t have much of an interest. I might have to check it out.
I love Akro Bake! Can’t get enough of that sweet, creamy lemon. My favorites fall fragrances are Candy by Prada, that caramel really gets me and the #71 by Sol de Janeiro, although it’s a body spray it’s long lasting and cozy, great scent for cold weather 🍫 I love your videos, Veronica! Feels like having brunch with a good friend 😊
I’m sipping on lemon water as we have a heatwave this weekend🥵🥵. Lost Cherry is lovely and I layer it with Cherries & Cheers body butter from the Body Shop🍒🍒. I also love Panettone, Lira, Devotion, Bianco Latte, Cafe Cabanel, La Danza Del Libellule, Accident A La Vanille, Sol Cheirosa edp and Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli❤️❤️. I picked up Amore Caffe towards the end of our winter and it is so delicious 🍦☕️😋. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
Oh no! A heatwave 🔥🥵 Sorry you're experiencing heat. That's a great list of fragrances. I ordered the Kayali this morning. Excited to do a full day wear 🎉🎉🎉
🍫🍫🍫 I just ordered Glow and Bake. I recently started getting into citrus gourmands and I think Bake and Lira have been my faves so far. Unknown Pleasured smelled like lemon flavored gasoline on my skin which was such a shame. I also agree that glow resembles Gentle Fluidity Gold a little bit. I do think Bon Perfumes Divine Vanille is almost spot on with GFG. Great video!
The Cabanel offering calls to me: something elegant and yet gourmand. I also have an inspired of Coquin de Guerlain :) I can only imagine the veritable Gourmand Coquin de Guerlain boasting the unparalleled House DNA.
Great description of Cafe Cabanel! I had the Julianna's Perfumes dupe of Gourmand Coquin called Call Me By Your Name and it was quite nice, but it wasn't the same. I prefer the original.
Gourmand Coquin and angel’s share are my favorite gourmands. Have a great weekend! Edit: My absolute favorite cozy gourmandy fall/winter fragrance is Xerjoff bouquet Ideale. Smells like warm sugar cookies to me.
@@VeronicaSays Of course, TF Lost Cherry. Kayali Burning Cherry is a close second. Room 1015 Cherry Punk, have to get used to leather note in that one. Just tried Snif Tart Deco literally a few moments ago and I will be purchasing a full bottle during Black Friday sale.💕 Enjoyed your reviews.❤️
I ordered a few samples from Scent Split based on your recommendations: Jest, Creme Brulee, Cacao Porcelana. Interestingly they don’t have Guerlain? Could be user error 🙃🍫 I have looked often at House of Oud but still don’t own a bottle from the house. Caramel Pop is currently scratching my popcorn itch but maybe I’ll get a bottle from the house one day ✨
I noticed certain brands are harder to find samples for. Chanel, for example, will not allow any other sites to sell their samples. Interesting! 🤷🏻♀️ What did you think of Jest?
Fave gourmand would probably be Minuit et Demi by Fragrance du Bois - a bit of chocolate, a bit of coffee, lots of smooth creaminess and a gentle sweetness. It's gourmand but not too foodie, and comes off as a beautiful, cozy fragrance. Gourmand perfection! 🍫
🍫🍫🍫 I think my favorite Fall Gourmand is Milk+ (bold) but sometimes I like to layer By The Fireplace and Milk Expressive, to marshmallow up BTF and it works great! 💜🤟🏻
I don’t even know if it’s still classified as a gourmand fragrance but my favourite is “Arabie” from Serge Lutens. It’s a spice bazaar and dried fruits and sweat and musks and endless possibilities and narratives.
🍫 As a specifically autumn gourmand fragrance Vanilla Sky (Skylar), for me, checks all the scent note boxes: cappuccino ✅, vanilla ✅, caramel ✅, amber ✅, sandalwood ✅, apart from the very slight orange/floral in the background. ☕️
I recently bought Eclair, and the scent was very weak in the first few days. So I thought "Well It should be okay to wear it at work today if it is not that Strong." However, when I applied the perfume, it had macerated a bit, enough to be noticeable, and a few coworkers commented that Eclaire smelled like bacon. I agree!! On my skin, it was okay, but in the air, it was somewhat sweet and salty in a bad way.😂😂 I layer Eclaire with Choco musk, and for me it smooths out the scent ---> the spray ratio is 1 Eclaire: 2 CM 😅
@@VeronicaSays I know-bacon. I am not sure if this will go away. I also tested with Demeter caramel layered on top of Eclaire, and I liked it even more! While Eclaire remained in the background, it was softer and helped the combo last longer. Demeter Caramel smells like the name suggests, but syrupy, drizzled or in a dulce de leche way. My hubby said I smelled like dulce de leche ice cream. lol I am coming to the realization that I like Gourmands, though they are not my go-to perfume profile. I need to be in a mood for them.
Veronica ❤🌹🙌 Amore Caffe sounds right up my alley as far as coffee fragrances go. My favorite gourmand combo is Zara Cherry Smoothie and Coco Musk plus Chocolate Greedy oil spray! Together they smell like chocolate covered cherries 🍒 😋 Cheirosa 62 body spray is also one of my favorites.
I made the mistake of buying the small bottle of Akro Bake… I didn’t realize that I would like it so much ! I need to get the big one next time. It’s so good
🍫I had to pause the video to go spray Commodity Milk. So far it's been too warm to wear it, but when you were talking about it, I just couldn't resist! LOL I'd love to try Cafe Cabanel. I have Replica's Coffee Break and like to pair it with a vanilla, usually Kayali's Vanilla 28. Delicious (but not overly foodie) combo.
It is 100% true that you hear someone compare s fragrance to something (sometimes unflattering) and then you smell it yourself and can't forget it. Just this morning I was listening to another fragrance content creator start talking about the scent I am wearing, and low and behold... it makes her think of baby throw up. 🤦♀️ I'm trying to shake that off!
Oh noooo! Which scent was the person comparing to baby throw up???
@VeronicaSays Jovoy Remember Me 😊. It's those milky tones I guess!
Oh come on! No way! That smells nothing like baby throw up 🤦🏻♀️😂
These people are too attached to their suffering! Just know that most of the time when soneone does that with a fragrance that It's really something deeper going on... that has nothing to do with the fragrance ❤
@@VeronicaSays I thought of Guidance by amouage 😂 I think it smells just a tad like baby puke.
Thanks Veronica! I feel the same way about gourmands! But while we're on the subject...yesterday my husband blind bought me Hufflepuff! It's not on my list and I've never even sampled it! He just said he wanted me to have a cupcake😊❤
That’s so sweet
Awww this is super sweet💛🧁Hufflepuff is a delicious lemon vanilla-love it!
What a lovely gift! The bottle and overall presentation are superb! Smells wonderful, too! 🎉
That was my ‘gateway’ cupcake haha In all seriousness, what a wonderful gesture by you husband 🤗 Such a gorgeous fragrance!
My husband has surprised me with some House of Sillage cupcakes, too. I guess their marketing appeals to men looking for gifts. I hope you love Hufflepuff. I think it smells like a delicious lemon pound cake. So yummy 🧁
Love spending Saturday mornings with you! 🍫
🍫🍫🍫 You are so kind, thank you! 🥰🥰

🍫🍫🍫 That's a powerhouse gourmand list! 🎉
Remember me by Jovoy would be my favorite gourmand.
@ellestyle2 such a FABULOUS perfume! 💖💖💖
JANY won the gourmand sweepstakes for me, with Devotion a close second. Someday I hope to try Akro Bake, as I do love that lemon vanilla cupcake vibe!
100% agree with Jany. It’s the most literate gourmand I’ve tried.
Wonderful list! 🥰🥰🥰
My number one gourmand is an oldie but goodie - Lira. ❤
Some other loves are Seta by Moresque, Jasmins Marzipane by Lancome, Tangier Vanille d‘Or by Aerin, Secret Sucré by Molinard, Symphonium by Xerjoff (special occasions only 😂), Vanilla Love by Jimmy Choo, Fève Tonka de Canaima by Boucheron … so many beauties!
Ohhh we are TWINS❤love your taste😜
I've owned or tried most of these! Fantastic list! 🍫🍫🍫💖💖💖
I love gourmands! My favourites include Mahni Cassonade, Sol de Janeiro EDP, Kilian Princess, and Sweet Tooth. 💜
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for sharing your faves! 💖💖💖
Bum bum cream is so good! I love to wear it with 62 and 71! Yummy 🤤
Yes, I'm obsessed with that lotion! Once upon a time, it was my daily face cream 😂
Jax.. I called the Kilian boutique in Las Vegas again and they still don't have a release date for the new Angel's Share flanker but she said "for sure" sometime before 🎄 Christmas which means November or December. She said "call back in a month". 🎁
My favorite gourmand is absolutely Escapade Gourmand.
I love it and it’s such a compliment getter!
Great scent! 🥰🥰🥰
Pinrose Secret Genius AND Monte BlancSignature ❤❤❤ I COULDNT CHOOSE ONE OVER THE OTHER😬 OOH MAYBE I’LL LAYER THEM, may be a little too sweet, but I’m gonna give it a try anyways 😊
That would make an interesting combo! Thanks for sharing! 💖
90% of my perfume collection is gourmands!!! Amore Cafe is not coffee heavy!!! Its delicious!!!
It more vanilla forward to me. Just lovely! 💖☕️
There is a vivamor fragrance that has a popcorn note called caramel pop.
I love this one so much!
I've heard rave reasons on that one! 🥰
I want to try CP so bad! What about Pop didn't give me a popcorn note at all. Not sure if it was the stupid little luckyscent sample I was trying, or it just doesn't want to come out on my skin 😢
Tribeca! It’s the perfect borderline gourmand while still maintaining a pretty airiness ❤ love your reviews!
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
I started dancing with you and Cheirosa 62 is so gorgeous. I love Milk Bold and the expressive is gorgeous too.
Dancing Queen (the song) always puts me in a good mood! 😂

@@VeronicaSaysthank you! I think my middle aged nose ain’t what it used to be! I want to be able to smell what I’m wearing!
@katherinesr same for me. Everything smells a tad weaker than in the past.
Fave gourmand of the moment is Gioiosa - Profumum Roma. To me, it's a little bit dry at first, but it lives for DAYS on clothes and dries down to smell like vanilla buttercream frosting. I like to spray it on my hang around the house sweater- yummy :)
Oh that is a yummy one! 💖💖💖

I only get salt and musk from What about Pop. Im giving it some time to macerate...bottles quite new... and give it another try.
I can understand picking them up. It took a while for it to grown on me. 💖💖💖
My favorite gourmand is Angel Muse! 🍫
Such a bummer it was discontinued.
Really fascinating fragrance - both the EDT and EDP! 🥰
I’m so glad you did this. I’m almost tired of gourmands or I’m just not crazy about them. I love Lost Cherry, D&G Devotion and Cheirosa 62 & 71. Mont Blanc Signature will always be a favorite!! I’ve tried many others but just don’t want to smell like food!😂 I said it about driving to work in my scrubs with my morning coffee and nothing made me more upset than spilling any amount on me!! I smelled coffee all day! Most times I’d get a pair of hospital scrubs to make my 12 hours not so torturous to me! It will not come out until it’s washed! I’m sorry!! Didn’t mean to ruin it for you but I can’t do actual coffee smells!! Have a great weekend!!❤
Hey Jackie! 💖🍫💖🍫 I enjoy gourmands in doses. Can't wear them every day though. I get overwhelmed by the sweetness. The person I had in mind specifically said Coffee Addict made them feel that way, so don't feel bad - you didn't ruin it! Although I could see wanting to change if you spilled coffee on yourself. That smells gets nauseating!
🍫🍫hey Veronica! Always enjoy watching you. I’m glad you ended up liking that Vanilla Nest perfume at the end. I have smelled it myself, but I had heard some “not so great” reviews. And didn’t have much of an interest. I might have to check it out.
Hi! 💖 Yes, give it another try. Sometimes other people's reviews can really color our thoughts about a fragrance.
My Fav gourmand is Love & Crime by Ex Eidolo.
Great choice! Delicious! 🥰
I love Akro Bake! Can’t get enough of that sweet, creamy lemon. My favorites fall fragrances are Candy by Prada, that caramel really gets me and the #71 by Sol de Janeiro, although it’s a body spray it’s long lasting and cozy, great scent for cold weather 🍫 I love your videos, Veronica! Feels like having brunch with a good friend 😊
Awww thank you soooo much! And great selections! I love the 71 body spray. 💖💖💖
Not a huge fan of chocolate note but I do love gabbies … chocolate queen , it has enough perfume parts to it ❤
Thanks for sharing this one! 🥰
Seta by Moresque … liquid vanilla caramel- delicious!
Seta is so lovely! 💖💖💖
I’m sipping on lemon water as we have a heatwave this weekend🥵🥵. Lost Cherry is lovely and I layer it with Cherries & Cheers body butter from the Body Shop🍒🍒. I also love Panettone, Lira, Devotion, Bianco Latte, Cafe Cabanel, La Danza Del Libellule, Accident A La Vanille, Sol Cheirosa edp and Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli❤️❤️. I picked up Amore Caffe towards the end of our winter and it is so delicious 🍦☕️😋. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
Oh no! A heatwave 🔥🥵 Sorry you're experiencing heat. That's a great list of fragrances. I ordered the Kayali this morning. Excited to do a full day wear 🎉🎉🎉
My fave gourmand is Mancera Amore Cafe
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! 🥰🥰🥰
🍫🍫🍫 I just ordered Glow and Bake. I recently started getting into citrus gourmands and I think Bake and Lira have been my faves so far. Unknown Pleasured smelled like lemon flavored gasoline on my skin which was such a shame. I also agree that glow resembles Gentle Fluidity Gold a little bit. I do think Bon Perfumes Divine Vanille is almost spot on with GFG. Great video!
🍫🍫🍫 Thank you so much! Lemon flavored gasoline! 😯 Oh no! 🤣 That sounds dreadful. Hope you enjoy Glow!! Bake and Lira are great choices. 👍🏻
I think I most wanna try Bake but Cafe Cabanel and Unknown Pleasures are close behind. Thanks for sharing!
All would be fun to try! 🥰🥰🥰
I have too many favorite gourmand perfumes but the fist perfume that come to mind when talking about gourmand is Dulce Diablo by Narcotic
Good choice! 💖
The Cabanel offering calls to me: something elegant and yet gourmand. I also have an inspired of Coquin de Guerlain :) I can only imagine the veritable Gourmand Coquin de Guerlain boasting the unparalleled House DNA.
Great description of Cafe Cabanel! I had the Julianna's Perfumes dupe of Gourmand Coquin called Call Me By Your Name and it was quite nice, but it wasn't the same. I prefer the original.
@VeronicaSays I suspected it is not the same. One day I will get a partial-if not a full bottle :)
🍫 I really enjoy gourmand scents. I'm probably going to pull UNN Sugar Leather out after this.
🍫🍫🍫 that's a sexy one!
Gourmand Coquin and angel’s share are my favorite gourmands. Have a great weekend!
Edit: My absolute favorite cozy gourmandy fall/winter fragrance is Xerjoff bouquet Ideale. Smells like warm sugar cookies to me.
Hi Melissa! 💖 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Bouquet Ideale. I need to try that one again soon!
Awww Jessie is incredibly generous to us all!! 🤗💕💕
@@TheEVEEffect yes she is!! 💖💖💖
Highly recommend Michel Germain SUGARFUL & SPICE 😍😍😍😍
@@NeuRudy thank you for sharing! 💖
In love with cherry fragrances at the moment 💕
What are your faves? 🍒
@@VeronicaSays Of course, TF Lost Cherry. Kayali Burning Cherry is a close second.
Room 1015 Cherry Punk, have to get used to leather note in that one. Just tried Snif Tart Deco literally a few moments ago and I will be purchasing a full bottle during Black Friday sale.💕
Enjoyed your reviews.❤️
@vickyl1010 thank you! 💖
I ordered a few samples from Scent Split based on your recommendations: Jest, Creme Brulee, Cacao Porcelana. Interestingly they don’t have Guerlain? Could be user error 🙃🍫
I have looked often at House of Oud but still don’t own a bottle from the house. Caramel Pop is currently scratching my popcorn itch but maybe I’ll get a bottle from the house one day ✨
I noticed certain brands are harder to find samples for. Chanel, for example, will not allow any other sites to sell their samples. Interesting! 🤷🏻♀️ What did you think of Jest?
@@VeronicaSays It’s on its way - so excited to try! 🤩
Fave gourmand would probably be Minuit et Demi by Fragrance du Bois - a bit of chocolate, a bit of coffee, lots of smooth creaminess and a gentle sweetness. It's gourmand but not too foodie, and comes off as a beautiful, cozy fragrance. Gourmand perfection! 🍫
What a lovely selection! Thanks for sharing 💖💖💖
My favorite fall fragrance is La bell🩷
Love La Belle! 🥰🥰🥰
🍫🍫🍫 I think my favorite Fall Gourmand is Milk+ (bold) but sometimes I like to layer By The Fireplace and Milk Expressive, to marshmallow up BTF and it works great! 💜🤟🏻
Can you share your thoughts on Milk Expressive?
Now that is a great idea for layering! Thanks for sharing!
Milk Expressive is milky, marshmallow-y, musky, and sort of powdery. A tiny hit of woodiness.
I don’t even know if it’s still classified as a gourmand fragrance but my favourite is “Arabie” from Serge Lutens. It’s a spice bazaar and dried fruits and sweat and musks and endless possibilities and narratives.
Oooooh sounds like the intro to a good movie or book! 💖💖💖
@@VeronicaSays or a “Movable Feast” 😎
Studio 54 💃🏽 🕺 lol!! I’m dying over here! 🪩
@@BGalwah1 😂😂😂
Happy Saturday! Looking forward to watching!
Thank you, Katherine! 💖💖💖
Navitus Ambrosia Imperiale is my favorite. Although I'm not a gourmand lover, it's in my top 10 for life.
Thanks for sharing! 💖💖💖
🍫 As a specifically autumn gourmand fragrance Vanilla Sky (Skylar), for me, checks all the scent note boxes: cappuccino ✅, vanilla ✅, caramel ✅, amber ✅, sandalwood ✅, apart from the very slight orange/floral in the background. ☕️
Sounds lovely! 🥰
I recently bought Eclair, and the scent was very weak in the first few days. So I thought "Well It should be okay to wear it at work today if it is not that
Strong." However, when I applied the perfume, it had macerated a bit, enough to be noticeable, and a few coworkers commented that Eclaire smelled like bacon. I agree!! On my skin, it was okay, but in the air, it was somewhat sweet and salty in a bad way.😂😂
I layer Eclaire with Choco musk, and for me it smooths out the scent ---> the spray ratio is 1 Eclaire: 2 CM 😅
Glad you found a layering combo that worked out for you! Bacon... 😯
@@VeronicaSays I know-bacon. I am not sure if this will go away. I also tested with Demeter caramel layered on top of Eclaire, and I liked it even more! While Eclaire remained in the background, it was softer and helped the combo last longer. Demeter Caramel smells like the name suggests, but syrupy, drizzled or in a dulce de leche way. My hubby said I smelled like dulce de leche ice cream. lol
I am coming to the realization that I like Gourmands, though they are not my go-to perfume profile. I need to be in a mood for them.
Veronica ❤🌹🙌 Amore Caffe sounds right up my alley as far as coffee fragrances go. My favorite gourmand combo is Zara Cherry Smoothie and Coco Musk plus Chocolate Greedy oil spray! Together they smell like chocolate covered cherries 🍒 😋 Cheirosa 62 body spray is also one of my favorites.
Hiiii! 🥰🥰🥰 Oooooh that sounds like an amazing combo!! Sol de Janeiro body sprays are undefeated! 💖💖💖
Chocolate bar! Thank you, Veronica. Have a great weekend. ❤
🍫🍫🍫 You as well, thank you! 🥰
I adore Cafe Cabanel ❤
Recently added Jany (Sora Dora) and Italica (Xerrjoff) which I didn't like a few yrs ago but I have matured (or not) it seems.
Cafe Cabanel is a special fragrance! Thanks for sharing yout loves! 🥰🥰🥰
Great minds think alike. I’m thinking of getting myself Feve Guerlain for my birthday with my name on the bottle.
Perfect gift to self! Love that for you! 💖
I love gourmands and Fève Gourmande is going to be my Christmas present to myself. 😄 Thanks for the video!
Yesss!! It's on my Christmas and Birthday list now. 🎉 Thank you!
Gourmand are tricky😊
Why is that?
@@VeronicaSays you don’t want them too photorealistic 😊
@@AMaudeThing oh yes! Right. 🥰
I made the mistake of buying the small bottle of Akro Bake… I didn’t realize that I would like it so much ! I need to get the big one next time. It’s so good
I agree! Lovely fragrance! 🥰🥰🥰
I have a small bottle of nest bourbon vanilla in my cart at Sephora
TFS ❤
Me too! 💖💖💖
Favorite Cafe Cabanel ❤❤❤
Yesss! 🥰🥰🥰
🍫I had to pause the video to go spray Commodity Milk. So far it's been too warm to wear it, but when you were talking about it, I just couldn't resist! LOL
I'd love to try Cafe Cabanel. I have Replica's Coffee Break and like to pair it with a vanilla, usually Kayali's Vanilla 28. Delicious (but not overly foodie) combo.
Commodity Milk - all the versions - are wonderful! Thanks for sharing your Coffee Break combo! 🥰🍫🍫🍫
Cirque du soleil, and 2am in Lafayette by the Sorce is my favorite 😍
Cirque du Soleil was so fun to sample!
I really love Italica by Xerjoff. There are so many yummy gourmands though. Thanks for another great video
Thank you so much! 💖💖
I love Scandal and La Belle from JPG and I also love Girl of Now from Elie Saab.
All beautiful! 🥰🥰🥰
I loooove Duchessa
It's awesome! 💖💖💖
Good evening, Verónica. Seconds before seeing your presentation, I saw my first Christmas season advertisement!!!
😯😯😯 Well, it is in a couple of months 😂 I'm already ready to decorate for Christmas.
@@VeronicaSays Ay, mamita! Trop rapide !
I’m going to get Nest Bourbon Vanilla. I’ve smelled it a few times and I really like it. Cafe Cabanel is on my wishlist! Great video friend 🍫
Thank you! I may pick up Nest Bourbon Vanilla also after I finish the travel spray. 💖💖💖
My absolute favourite gourmand has to be Bake from Akro, very fluffy lemon cake💖
So good! 🥰🥰🥰
Loved that you were giving disco ball!
😂😂😂💖💖
Apple Brandy on the Rocks
Thanks for sharing! 💖💖💖
I have a lot of gourmands!
Angel Muse, Cocoa Woods, Modest Deux Sweet Tooth are near the top of the list
Hi Tiffany! Great choices! 🥰🥰🥰
