The large range of fragrances makes them ideal for both beginners and fragrance collectors. You’ll be the smelliest person wherever you go when you spritz on one of the following perfumes.
Le Monde Gourmand Crème Brûlée Eau de Parfum
Just like the custard dessert it’s inspired by, this fragrance makes everyone smile. Surprisingly complex, this opens with bright notes of apricot, almond and plum. Then the characteristic creme brulee creaminess peeks through with musky florals like iris, jasmine and violet before settling into a warm haze of rum and oak.
Le Monde Gourmand Chai Spicy Eau de Parfum
A little spicy and very sweet, this warm and cozy scent is inspired by a freshly brewed chai latte. A complex sample, Chai Épicé features notes of violet fig, musk and light wood. Wraps you in a warm embrace from the first fog.
Le Monde Gourmand Crème Vanille Eau de Parfum
Vanilla lovers, this pick has the potential to become your all-time favorite. While some vanilla scents can seem more youthful, this one takes on a sophisticated identity thanks to notes of apricot and jasmine that add a layer of brightness before warming with a blend of brown sugar and amber. Don’t be surprised when the compliments start pouring in.
Le Monde Gourmand Coconut Milk Eau de Parfum
If bakery-like flavors are too sweet for you, go for something made from nature’s candy—fruit! Lait de Coco combines creamy coconut with vanilla, praline and a hint of bergamot for a scent that transports you to the tropics.
Le Monde Gourmand Pistachio Brûlée Eau de Parfum
The flavor that started it all: This was the first blend ever created by Le Monde Gourmand, and its enduring popularity is a testament to how it satisfies every sweet tooth. A mixture of milk mousse, pistachio and vanilla reminds me of mouth-watering baklava desserts I ate in Turkey. This dessert scent is warm, nutty, mouth-watering and quite frankly, eye-catching. I haven’t experienced anything like this yet.
Le Monde Gourmand Tea Matcha Eau de Parfum
Don’t believe foodies are for you? This fragrance will change your mind. Thé Matcha is earthier than saccharine, although it still offers a slight hint of sugar. Green tea emerges on first spray before giving way to freesia, a candy flower that smells of candied fruit and citrus. The drydown is warmed with amber, making it one of the most unique and refreshing scents around.
Le Monde Gourmand Confetti Dorés Eau de Parfum
You can have your cake. . . and it smells like it. Le Monde Gourmand bottles the velvety scent of a delicate birthday cake in this tiny bottle. Hazelnut and bergamot torment your nose, then make way for a sugar rush of rose petals, creamy jasmine and sugar crystals. This settles into a cloud of vanilla and musk. Anyone who gets a whiff of you will be begging for seconds.
Le Monde Gourmand Meringue Magique Eau de Parfum
Indulge in this pillowy scent that delivers a sugar high without the crash. Branded orange, sweet gardenia, whipped cream and praline create the perfect combination of air and glaze for a scent that is as complex and layered as you are.
