Fragrances can be classified by certain olfactive families, or themes, or accords. In this guide I will briefly discuss the various themes.
Gourmand:
Gourmand notes are another newly added member to the fragrance family. These notes are characterized as edible, dessert like, citrus, sweet, vegetable, nutty, sorbet, candy-like, tea, fruits, almonds, cupcake, whiskey, or coffee scents. Many scents used in gourmand perfumes are vanilla, chocolate, creme brulee, milk, cotton candy, honey, maple syrup, pumpkin, hot milk, brown sugar, date, marzipan, caramel, hazelnut, cream, butter, coffee, nougat, praline, custard, cognac, licorice, cinnamon, gingerbread, toffee, marshmallow, marmalade and others.
