Gourmand

Gourmand fragrances smell good enough to eat: vanilla, tonka bean, almond and caramel, with the odd note of coconut. We list 9, mostly for women and unisex wearers. They are sweet without being childish, warmed rather than sugary, and they come alive on the skin in cool weather and at night.

If you like a cosy, edible trail that people lean in to catch, this is the family for you. Salerno and Viareggio are a good place to begin. Bottles are 70 ml, from £34.90, with free UK delivery on every order and 14 days to return anything unopened.
