Not your average gourmand, this 70s-inspired scent blends zesty neroli oil with juicy orange blossom, rose absolute and warm amber for an earthy, chic take on the fragrance trend. 

Available at John Lewis, £75

If you’re after something moreish but refreshing, this fruity gourmand blends juicy pineapple with creamy coconut, which is grounded by warm musk notes. It’s a fruity cocktail on a beachy getaway at dusk, in bottle form.

Available at Boots, £50

Technically, cocktails don’t count within the gourmand family, but this perfume isn’t just inspired by cognac liquor; it also features nutty praline, smooth vanilla and spicy cinnamon for a heady scent that’s subtly sweet.

Available at Sephora UK, £215

Despite the main focus on the ripe cherries, this perfume avoids being sickly sweet, thanks to woody notes of musk, oud and leather. Cinnamon and rose also add richness to the aroma. 

Available at Harrods, £300

If pistachio gelato is your go-to dessert of choice, this is the perfume for you. Whipped cream, toasty hazelnuts, fluffy cotton candy and pillowy marshmallows join the trendy ingredient, making for a fresh but yummy signature scent.  

Available at Cult Beauty, £80

We’re all for the matcha hype taking over our coffee preferences, so why not bottle up that green goodness in fragrance form? The herbal note is paired with bitter orange, warm fig and oaky cedarwood to make for a creamy and comforting scent. 

Available at Cult Beauty, £176

Aiming to transport you to a quaint garden packed with sprawling vines, this contains a heady mix of strawberry liquor, leather, vanilla, musk and condensed milk (yes, you read that right). Slightly powdery once dried down, this has a nostalgic quality to it that’s the epitome of boho chic.

Available at Liberty, £170     

When it comes to gourmands, Coty knows its stuff (they’ve been doing it for 120 years, after all). Our top pick of theirs has to be this Marc Jacobs number. 

Who said fruity perfumes had to be left behind in your teens? This juice combines notes of juicy rhubarb, nutty almond milk and fresh daffodil to create a floral scent that won’t disappear after just one spritz. 

Available at Boots, £91

The vanilla perfume revival is here to stay and we can’t get enough of the soft and creamy note. Dior has put the ultimate sophisticated twist on the ice-cream-worthy ingredient, blending it with bitter chocolate and orange zest to create a Michelin-star dessert in a bottle. 

Available at Dior, £175

Get your caffeine hit without running out to Pret with this invigorating spritz from Maison Margiela. Coffee beans are blended with milk mousse, fresh spearmint, calming lavender and woody sandalwood. It smells like a warm espresso and fresh French pastry breakfast on a lazy Sunday morning. 

Available at John Lewis, £125

The Barbie pink bottle might have tipped you off that this is as sweet as fruit juice, thanks to notes of grapefruit, blackcurrant, raspberries and orange blossom. The fruitiness is mellowed with a hit of sugary marshmallow to add a hint of creaminess to this floral scent.  

Available at John Lewis, £165

Dates usually wouldn’t be at the top of our wishlist when finding a gourmand signature scent but Lush has proved us wrong. The moreish body spray features sustainably sourced sandalwood and benzoin resinoid (a resin typically used in incense) to make for a toffee-scented delight. 

Available at Lush, £29

Starburst in fragrance form, this is jam-packed with juicy strawberries, lush plums, fresh apple blossom and smooth tonka beans to create a crisp fruity floral gourmand scent that’s sweetly nostalgic. 

Available at Space NK, £99
