You have just the vivacious, joyful personality to match the gourmand genre of perfumes. I can’t wear gourmands, for the most part, but enjoy it on others when I catch a trail or scent bubble.

I have Honor & Glory and I love it!

It's the only designer perfume I have because I love lemon and CANDIED LEMON?? Yes please!! 💛 I live in Florida so I'm always looking for good summer gourmands, here's some I like: Shaghaf Femme, Swiss Arabian Casablanca, Montblanc Signature, Sabrina Carpenter's Sweet Tooth, Finery Magnetic Candy. 🍬

I’m more of a freshie lover in the summer, that being said I do like Boardwalk Taffy from BBW if I’m in the mood for something gourmand. It scratches the gourmand itch I get every now and then on a cooler summer day.

@mariacollettlife

2 ай бұрын

Boardwalk Taffy is great!!!

I’ve been wearing gourmands a lot from vanillas to fruity florals and even coffee based on colder days. It still shocks me how much I like gourmands now. I was probably 40 before I started to suddenly like them. Before that they made me gag and I couldn’t stand anything gourmand.

Im wearing bluberry musk by Arabiyat at the moment!

Honor and glory can do no wrong. It is my pillow spray at night. That and sublime. Maybe they will get stronger as they age I haven’t had them for a year yet, but I’ve loved them since the moment I opened them The black bottle not so much. Very manly very raw? I think it needs a lot of aging.

Honestly Devotion is one of the strongest and most long lasting perfumes I have. I was asked not to wear it anymore at work where I only sprayed 3 because it was so strong and lingered where I walked. It stayed on my blazer for two weeks and I smelled it every time I walked in my closet like I just sprayed it.
