#gourmand

and so i took to the mall, nearby drugstores and tiktok shop to find the most tasty gourmands and report back to all my other gourmand lovers. i've compliled my TOP TEN gourmands as a professional marshmallow, chocolatey, bakery smelling doll (in no ranked order)

❤︎ bare vanilla is a staple, if u call yourself a gourmand girly there's a 99% chance that u own the victoria's secret "bare vanilla" scent

❤︎ choco musk is another one that is super popular but i think it deserves the hype. i wore choco musk to go to the movies on time, and the girl at the concession stand told me i smell like cookies. BUTT if u wanna take it a step further from basic choco musk i challenge u to buy the marshmallow version, it's so yummy. it's a little strong initially, but it melts so well with ur pheremones and lasts throughout the day and just radiates

❤︎ cozy fireside s'more from bodycology is super affordable for a really yummy gourmand mist, they sell it at walmart for like $6 and it's worth it in my opinion. it smells like a yummy toasted marshmallow and i've heard people like to layer it with cozy vanilla bourbon which i have GOT to try

❤︎ cozy vanilla bourbon is super good, it's a velvety vanilla scent that's also very affordable and sold at walmart. for the pricepoint i'd DEFINATELY buy, it lasts long and kind of has some notes of coffee but in a pleasant way... their lotion also has a rly nice consistency

❤︎ cream velvet by khadlaj is a good dupe for the bianco latte perfume i heard, cuz bianco latte is like $160 which is a LOT for a perfume (but i'll definately ask for it for christmas) it has notes of caramel and butter and is SUPERRR gourmand... like if i could eat a perfume it'd be this one

❤︎ there's a lot of debate about fresh cream from philosophy, but it's a more muted gourmand that's perfect for layering. i have the cream version of it and it goes so beautifully with all my gourmands, it's a good blending/base but you'd have to smell for yourself ngl

❤︎ sweet tooth by sabrina carpenter is also SUPER yummy and layers so nicely with cozy fireside s'more body mist... literally makes me smell like a delicious, chocolatey cupcake with marshmallow filling like YESS

❤︎ sticky dates from lush is a favorite of mine... i remember getting it when it got super popular because of leah from love island but she was GENUINELY onto something bcuz why is it the yummiest perfume ever. i literally go through bottles of it so fast. the only "downside" is that the packaging isn't cute at all and it looks like a cleaning product lowkey.. it's animal cruelty free though so it balances out

❤︎ the billie eilish is SO delicious and probably my favorite on this list to be honest. it lasts so long, and it's such a delicious, creamy vanilla. it layers really good with literally every other perfume i mentioned in this post. yes it's pricey but it's worth every single penny.
