Fève Gourmande in detail
Fève Gourmande, formerly called Gourmand Coquin, belongs to Guerlain's L'Art & La Matière. Cocoa cannot be extracted for perfumery: the house recreates it as an accord, both chocolatey and slightly bitter, which it pushes towards intoxication. Volute files it among gourmands.
Guerlain lists its notes without sorting them into tiers. The cocoa accord meets floral rose and rum notes, which give it a liqueur-like side. Patchouli and a smoky tea accord form the base and add a touch of mystery to the chocolatey notes.
Fève Gourmande is an evening scent for autumn and winter; smoky tea and patchouli keep it from becoming too sweet, and rose gives it a floral elegance.
Three gourmands in our catalogue come close: 1969 Parfum de Révolte by Histoires de Parfums shares rose and patchouli; Triumph of Bacchus Extrait by Argos finds rum and patchouli again; Angels' Share Paradis by Kilian Paris also pairs a rose with gourmand notes.
