The best Gourmand fragrances for fall and winter
Autumn has really started now, the leaves are almost all off the trees, the days are getting shorter and the temperatures are starting to drop. Despite the fact that winter only officially starts on December 21st, you can feel from the temperatures outside that the cold holidays are waiting for us. To be able to enjoy these cold periods to the fullest, I have made a top 6 of vanilla and/or gourmand scents for the coming winter and autumn! We sell both the samples and the full bottles of this top 6.
To understand why I chose certain choices, I will first tell you what I like and don't like. What I like are fruity, sweet and fresh scents that are medium present. I don't like heavy scents, heavy scents are for me scents with a high projection (how far someone can smell you). For example, I don't like scents with heavy notes such as spices, tobacco and leather.
Number 6. Vanilla Imperiale
For me, Vanille Impériale by Houbigant is in last place. In this fragrance, the rose is very dominant together with the vanilla. I don't like roses in my perfume, the combination of roses and vanilla is personally not my favorite. I notice that the perfume is better appreciated in my environment.
Number 5. Spiritueuse Double Vanille from Guerlain
Next in my top 6 is Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain . I am not a big fan of this scent. This scent is perfect for the winter, the vanilla and spicy notes are strong. Personally I expected a bit more of the quality of the scent, the perfume did not stay very strong on my skin.
Number 4. Vanilla 28 Kayali
In position 4 I chose Vanilla 28 by Kayali . The brown sugar makes this scent a bit sweeter, which makes the vanilla less dominant for me. With Vanilla 28 the sweetness comes more to the fore than the vanilla, this scent also comes closer to what suits me.
Number 3. Bianco Latte Giardini Di Toscane
The top 3 starts with Bianco latte , this scent is incredibly hyped and I understand why. The caramel comes strongly to the fore in this scent. The caramel provides the sweetness of the scent, which makes this scent just nice. The quality/price ratio is extremely good at Bianco Latte. The scent lingers for a very long time and the scent is also very strong. Apart from Bianco Latte, all Giardini di Toscane scents score high on the price/quality ratio.
Number 2. Lattafa Eclaire
Lattafa Eclaire is almost identical to Bianco latte in terms of scent. This scent is just as nice as Bianco Latte and difficult to distinguish. I have placed this scent above Bianco Latte, because this is an even cheaper alternative. This perfume has also been hyped a lot in recent months and in my opinion it is completely worth the hype.
Number 1. Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande
My number 1 is Maison Mataha Escapede Gourmande . I think this is the ultimate winter scent. This scent reminds me of Sinterklaas, this is because of the sweet scent of sugar cane. The sweetness of the scent in combination with the vanilla is what I am so enthusiastic about! The scent is very unique and also lingers on your skin for a very long time.
