As these perfumes tend to be very expensive I would be tempted to ask her for her preference. or you can google them for descriptions. Prada seems to do a really lovely sounding one.

If available in UK, check out The 7 Virtues fragrances. They source their fragrance oils from countries rebuilding from war or poverty, their motto is 'Make perfume, Not War' vetivier from Haiti, ethically sources vanilla, etc.

Some of their fragrances are considered gourmand;Vanilla Woods, or Blackberry Lily. I believe you can find them at Sephora UK.

Angel is perhaps one which fits the bill.

A gourmand fragrance is a perfume consisting primarily of synthetic edible (gourmand) notes, such as honey, chocolate, vanilla or candy. These top and middle notes may be blended with non-edible base notes such as patchouli or musk. They have been described as olfactory desserts.

Hello, Ladies.
I was wondering if anyone can help me choose a vanilla/chocolate cosy- type perfume, for one of my Grand Daughters?
It will be her birthday soon, and she has asked me to give her a nice Winter perfume, which she informs me is usually classed in the 'Gourmand' genre.
Why anyone would want to smell like a bar of chocolate defeats me......but of course at 30years old I would never question her tastes!!!!!
Perfumes though, are way out of my areas of expertise, and I am asking once again for your help.
Thank you for reading.
Agnieszka.
