<p>Smelling good is one thing, but smelling good enough to eat calls for a special kind of fragrance: gourmands. Think luscious sticky caramel, creamy vanilla, and a lemon cupcake. This category may not be for everyone, but if it’s something that piques your interest, it can easily become an ambrosian obsession. But not all <strong>gourmand fragrances</strong> out there are hits.</p><p>Finding ones that actually deserve your attention can be a challenge. But we’re here to help you find some of the yummiest bottled concoctions out there. The best part? You don’t need to special order any of them—they’re all available for purchase locally!</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, </strong><a href="https://www.lookatme.com.ph/kyf-yum-pistachio-gelato-33-edp50ml/p/BP_70097318"><strong>Shop here</strong></a></div><p>There’s a reason Kayali is known for its gourmands: they just do the category really well. They have more hits than misses in their lineup, and their Yum Pistachio Gelato is a winner. Even though Vanilla 28 might be what they’re most known for, this scent holds its own with notes of Pistachio Gelato, Hazelnut, Marshmallow, Rum, and Whipped Cream, changing and evolving as it wears off throughout the day.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758174297324Kayali Yum-Pistachio-Gelato.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Kayali YUM</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Burberry Her Intense EDP, </strong><a href="https://rustans.com/products/burberry-her-eau-de-parfum-intense?srsltid=AfmBOopkZ2FCxbyLDQ0sEKLgKS1MZ-egKLR_-Vc4uOQ4UFCqmp3uW26F"><strong>Shop here</strong></a></div><p>A cozy, airy, captivating strawberry scent that feels like it’s just dancing in the air. If you’ve been on the fence about which Burberry Her version is worth your money,  this one might be the one coming home with you. It’s not the type of scent that you need to get used to; its allure is almost immediate. This creamy, fruity scent is easy on the nose, has great longevity, and even lingers in your hair without the heavy feeling. It basically smells like strawberries being folded into vanilla, with just a hint of white florals.</p><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758174312163Burberry Her Intense EDP.webp" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Burberry Her Intense</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Dolce &amp; Gabbana Devotion, </strong><a href="https://rustans.com/products/dolce-gabbana-devotion-eau-de-parfum?srsltid=AfmBOooxQcfB3yML8XggDynBQmiUM0oXOxojHe7DSGEtjjS8XzV5sJYB"><strong>Shop here</strong></a></div><p>Imagine a decadent lemon pound cake, with a hint of rum for a boozy twist, ending with a rich vanilla base. That’s what you’re getting with every spritz of the Dolce &amp; Gabbana Devotion perfume. This scent is anything but subtle, so best to start with a few spritzes and add as you go. Good news is all you really need is a few sprays for this scent to envelop you.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758174328983Dolce &amp; Gabbana Devotion.webp" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Dolce &amp; Gabbana Devotion</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Bond No. 9 New York Nights, </strong><a href="https://rustans.com/products/bond-no-9-new-york-nights"><strong>Shop here</strong></a></div><p>If you’re looking for more than just smelling like an icing but more of a late-night dessert, then the Bond No. 9’s New York Nights might be your next signature perfume. It smells like a delicious caramel banana pudding with a hint of coffee– and yes, it smells as good as you&#x27;re imagining it. It’s a scent that definitely makes a bold impression with its unique smell and vibrant bottle (inspired by the Manhattan evening skyline!). It has notes of Jasmine, Gardenia, Patchouli, Coffee, and Caramel.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758174342622Bond No. 9 TriBeCa New York Nights.webp" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Bond No. 9 New York Nights</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Miss Dior Essence, Shop at Dior stores<br/></strong></div><p>As if there aren’t enough reasons to love Miss Dior, they introduce us to Essence– a unique berry scent that’s worthy of a place in your perfume collection. It has an unmissable jammy blackberry and elderflower accord balanced by a dense, lingering woody base. It’s made even better by the beautiful frost houndstooth-patterned bottle, ornamented with a black grosgrain poignard bow.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758174356343Miss Dior Essence.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Miss Dior Essence</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Van Cleef &amp; Arpels Orchidée Vanille Eau de Parfum, </strong><a href="https://rustans.com/products/van-cleef-arpels-orchidee-vanille-eau-de-parfum?srsltid=AfmBOooK4vJuxRuzaBVWKIL9T_SvwHBPwDiwdytpG2BMTodD6HvxkB-d"><strong>Shop here</strong></a><strong><br/></strong></div><p>This perfume is the kind that seeks intimacy. It’s not something you’ll smell a room away, but in intimate moments of close proximity. The trade-off of it not being the best at projection is well worth the perfume being one of the most exquisite-smelling vanilla perfumes you’ll ever wear. If you’re looking for a gastronomical parallel, it’s like having a freshly-scooped rich, vanilla gelato in a dessert parlor that makes everything from scratch. What makes it so unique is the star, vanilla planifolia. It also has notes of Mandarin, Lychee, Bitter Almond, Bulgarian Rose, and Tonka Bean. It’s fruity, it’s floral, it’s sweet, just overall an elegant yet charming sweet scent.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758174375136Van Cleef &amp; Arpels Orchidée Vanille Eau de Parfum.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Van Cleef &amp; Arpels Orchidée Vanille</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Lush Sticky Dates, Available at Lush stores<br/></strong></div><p>On the other end of the spectrum, Lush Sticky Dates is a straight-up dessert in a bottle. This one is not for the faint of heart as it is reserved for someone with a sweet tooth. It packs a serious caramel kick but don’t let that dishearten you. Give it time to be one with your body’s chemistry, let it sit, marinate, and you’ll be addicted to what it becomes. It may not be a cornucopia of complex notes with just caramel, benzoin, and sandalwood working hard for you but, it is well-loved for a reason. It truly is gourmand heaven. Oh, and did we mention it also comes in the form of a shower gel, a lotion, body scrub, and even a lip scrub?</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758174392341Lush Sticky Dates.webp" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Lush Sticky Dates</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Clean Reserve Whipped Cherry, </strong><a href="https://rustans.com/products/clean-reserve-whipped-cherry?srsltid=AfmBOoqqGubGIj6rNF9-mZ_M8o3amK9KWxnyUK0ty-vSKp3S9NkFmu_0"><strong>Shop here</strong></a></div><p>The main fear with cherry-themed perfumes is it smelling like your childhood cough syrup– but not this one! A delicious cocktail of wild cherry, pineapple, and coconut water, this scent from Clean Reserve makes you smell like a light, delightful cherry pie. Pro tip: make your own unique blend by layering it with other Clean Reserve scents like Sparkling Sugar for an added boost of sweetness.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758174412323WhippedCherry.jpg.webp" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Clean Reserve Whipped Cherry</span></span></span></div>
