Fruity and gourmet notes
In perfumery, gluttony is far from being considered a bad thing. Indeed, perfumes with a gourmet facet are today a new expression of femininity. The gourmet facet was born in the early 90s, although it can be considered as a sub-family of Orientals. It has since become very popular and even ubiquitous in consumer perfumery. Unlike salty, sour, or bitter flavors, the sweet taste has a regressive effect, and tends to evoke a certain nostalgia linked to sweets, cakes and toys from our childhood. These flavors often play on maltol (a synthetic note with the smell of caramel or praline), vanillin, and other taste notes. The first gourmet perfume to have been successful was, launched in 1992, with its scents of funfair and candy apple, mixing ethylmaltol (caramel, praline) with patchouli and vanillin. In its wake will emerge many other gourmet perfumes. Today it is an omnipresent trend in women's perfumery. People who appreciate this facet want to have “chewable” skin, with mouth-watering scents, and need a perfume that makes you want to take in life to the fullest. Gourmet flavors can also represent a pleasant alternative to the temptation of gluttony caused by chocolate or other sweets. The period of adolescence is also often marked by gourmet and sweet perfumes, which then seduce, and can always be appreciated in adult life. In addition, gourmet perfumes, far from being disgusting, are on the contrary very popular and refined. In general, gourmet fragrances leave behind a powerful scent.
