10 New Gourmand Fragrances That Smell Good Enough to Eat
From D.S. & Durga’s “Cowgirl Grass” to Jil Sander’s “Coffea.”
Gourmand is back and it’s better than ever. In 2025, this fragrance category is experiencing a surge in popularity, with interest soaring by 70% year over year, according to Perfumer & Flavorist. The lines between culinary desire and olfactory experience are blurring — it’s a food lover’s world, we’re just living in it. But, what exactly is a gourmand?
If you’re new to the category, gourmands are full of rich, edible-inspired notes — think sweet vanilla, comforting caramel and decadent chocolate. Gourmand notes are often combined with ingredients like warm spices that contain velvety undertones.
Below, we round up some of our favorite new gourmand fragrances to tempt your senses, from Henry Rose’s “Dave” to Abel’s “The Apartment.”
