"Vanilla has been one of the most popular cold-weather scents for years, and it's here to stay. Susan Ankersen, perfumer and cofounder of Susan James Fragrances, said gourmands - or scents that smell like they can be eaten - will remain popular throughout the season. "They're edible, like cookies, candy, you know, salted caramel - all those kinds of gourmands, I think, are going to stick," she said. Ankersen said she's also noticed fruity, berry scents, like raspberry, being paired with traditional gourmands to lighten them up, because they "can be a little heavy and cloying" on their own."
"Nutty scents, such as pistachio and almond, are also popular this time of year, Ankersen said. They pair well with other gourmands, like vanilla (warm and creamy) or cinnamon (rich and spicy). Think: Smells that might remind you of passing by carts selling almonds roasted in sugar on a chilly fall or winter day. Saffron is a complex scent that can be warm, spicy, and honey-like."
Gourmand fragrances evoke edible aromas like cookies, candy, and salted caramel and remain popular for cold weather, with vanilla as a lasting favorite. Fruity and berry notes such as raspberry are commonly paired with traditional gourmands to lighten heavier compositions. Nutty accords like pistachio and almond blend well with vanilla and cinnamon, recalling roasted sugared-almond or market scents on chilly days. Saffron contributes a complex autumnal character with earthy, spicy, warm, and honey-like facets derived from crocus sativus stigmas, adding rich, multifaceted warmth to seasonal perfume blends.
