The shift toward more complex scents is evident in the way fragrance houses are reinterpreting gourmand notes. Aymar de Chergé, vice president of marketing for Parfums de Marly and Initio Parfums Privés, confirms that today’s gourmand fragrances are increasingly shifting toward unisex or gender-neutral offerings. “Gourmands have surged as fragrance lovers are adding more to their personal collections and not just wearing one signature scent,” notes Linda Levy, president of The Fragrance Foundation.
