Gourmand accord
A gourmand accord evokes pastry and confectionery: sugar, caramel, praline or milky notes, depending on the perfumer. It does not refer to a specific material but to an impression of sweetness, which the house names this way without detailing the formula. The term spread from the 1990s onwards, with the rise of gourmand fragrances.
What it brings
A sugary, almost pastry-like sweetness.
