Gourmand fragrances expand to mimic popular beverage scents

The trend of gourmand fragrances is evolving as the boundaries between food, lifestyle, and fragrance continue to blur. New perfumes are moving beyond traditional dessert or fruit inspirations to capture the specific sensory experience of popular beverages.

Recent trends include scents designed to mimic the atmosphere of drinks such as matcha lattes, iced cola, or piña coladas. For example, Viktor&Rolf’s Bonbon Cola Fizz aims to replicate the refreshing, sweet scent of sparkling cola, while other fragrances attempt to recreate the velvety notes of green tea combined with oat milk and bergamot.
