For all the men who prefer fresh, woody, and spicy notes in their perfumes, we've got an insider tip: gourmand fragrances can change how you wear fragrances. Think of edible notes in your scent like that of vanilla, dark chocolate, coffee, berries, caramel, or basically, everything delicious and tempting. Gourmand fragrances are warm, indulgent, and leave a lasting impression. With Valentine's Day coming up, it's the right time to invest in a gourmand fragrance to shake things up. Here's why they deserve a spot on your grooming shelf 

Instant Head-Turners: Unlike your typical fresh or woody colognes, gourmand fragrances stand out because of the sweet, and cozy notes like vanilla,  bean, or chocolate. It makes people lean in just a little closer. 

Perfect for Cool Weather: February is still cold in most parts of India, which is why gourmand fragrances should be tried for their warm and comforting aura, perfect for a romantic night. 

Definitely, Memorable: Do you feel or have been told that most men's fragrances smell the same after a while. A gourmand scent will definitely get you compliments, and you'll be asked 'what are you wearing?' quite often. 

A Mood-Lifter: A quick cup of coffee in the morning with a hint of vanilla jolts you out of the usual, right? Now imagine having all those delectable notes in your fragrance, of course they are a good day-starter with mood lifting effect.
