What is gourmand as a fragrance family?

Gourmand fragrances are a category of perfumes that evoke associations with edible things. The term is derived from the French word gourmand: a person who loves to eat. Typical notes in gourmand perfumes include vanilla, chocolate, caramel, coconut and coffee, which together create scents that make us think of something we can eat. Often these perfumes are sweet with the scent of dessert, pastry or candy, but gourmand scents can also mimic salty things like popcorn, roasted nuts or spicy coffee. Gourmand perfumes often contain more notes than just the typical gourmand notes, such as flowers, wood, musk or citrus. This is so that the fragrance will have a well-balanced composition.
