Fragrance trends shift toward milky scents and textural gourmand profiles

The fragrance industry is seeing a shift in gourmand scents, moving away from intense sweetness toward softer, more comforting profiles. Milky and lactonic notes are emerging as a key trend, offering a sense of warmth and intimacy. Perfumers achieve these creamy effects using ingredients such as sandalwood, white musks, tonka bean, vanilla, and coconut milk accords.

Eurofragance is expanding its gourmand offerings with the ‘Atelier Nova’ collection, which draws inspiration from haute pâtisserie. This collection emphasizes texture and contrast rather than simple sugary notes. The trend also includes experimentation with new formats, such as jelly perfume sticks and perfume powders, to create more tactile and sensory consumer experiences.
