5 fragrances in the neo-gourmand style

Fragrances of rose, jasmine, or incense no longer surprise anyone. The world of perfumery is constantly evolving and offers us new intriguing options. How about pink champagne with mandarin, a generous portion of basil in a green bowl, or sugared violets immersed in caramel syrup? We have selected a few fascinating fragrances.

Giorgio Armani - Rose Alexandrie

Giorgio Armani wanted to showcase the breathtaking beauty of the Gardens of Alexandria in his fragrance. "I wanted to create a scent that would express my love and devotion to the rose, the contrast between the strength and fragility of this flower. Rose Alexandrie can be called a symbol of my dedication," he said. The result is a fragrance that accurately captures the effervescence of champagne bubbles rising from the bottom of a glass.

The Italian adventure begins with the sparkling freshness of bergamot and mandarin, which is then replaced by creamy neroli petals. The yellow mimosa in the heart of the fragrance gives way to the intense fragrance of roses, and as the day draws to a close, the rich floral scent blends with the warmth of vanilla and benzoin.

Memo - Winter Palace

Winter Palace is dedicated to China, specifically the Great Wall of China. The composition opens with juicy citrus notes. After a few minutes, they are replaced by warm notes of red tea, spicy musk, benzoin, and tonka beans. As the perfume unfolds, warm dry woody tones with a vibrant spicy vanilla accord emerge, which lingers on the skin throughout the day. It is almost like a union of ice and flame.

Vilhelm Parfumerie - London Funk

The sensual fragrance Vilhelm Parfumerie London Funk, with black pepper, pear, jasmine petals, cashmeran, musk, and cedar, instantly transports you to a modern speak-easy bar. You can also sense a note of oak, reminiscent of a whisky barrel, and the smell of vintage 1960s leather sofas. Contrary to London's primness, this perfume is akin to a rock 'n' roll tea party, where instead of a cup of Earl Grey, you have a glass of "Long Island Iced Tea" with gin, rum, and a splash of tequila.

Gritti - Beyond The Wall

Sugar-coated violets floating in thick cream. And plenty of powder all around. The composition of Beyond Of Wall by Luca Gritti is created in the best traditions of milky lactonic fragrances: delicate with a subtle caramel hue. But its sweetness emanates from sugared violets, dense and glossy, bittersweet in nature. They give the fragrance a very special gourmand touch and beautifully harmonize with the creamy powdery notes, enhanced by fruity, floral, and musky accords. An ideal fragrance for spring.

Richard - Dirty Peach

Richard continues the tropical theme, and the new adventure features a ripe peach as the protagonist: it has a milky lactonic, sweet, tropical, and juicy aroma with sulphurous, floral, and coumarin notes. This niche brand has created a quintessential refreshing Bellini in a dewy glass, accompanied by a generous serving of vanilla yogurt with preserved peaches.
