Alexandria Fragrances Gourmand Kiss is an Extrait de Parfum. Gourmand Kiss opens with Lavender and Almond, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Caramel, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Benzoin. Alexandria Fragrances's Gourmand Kiss carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Gourmand Kiss goes after the discontinued Dior Feve Delicieuse's tonka-caramel gourmand, hitting the same almond-caramel-vanilla core but skipping Dior's cherry, jasmine and leather facets that gave the original its complexity.

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Gourmand Kiss zeroes in on the tonka bean, caramel and vanilla heart that made Dior's now-discontinued Feve Delicieuse a cult favourite among gourmand fans. The opening trades Dior's lavender-mint-bergamot freshness for a simpler almond-lavender pairing, moving quickly into a caramel-cacao-praline middle that is genuinely sweet and appealing on its own terms. What it leaves out is the layering that gave the original its dessert-for-grown-ups reputation: Feve Delicieuse folds in cherry, freesia and jasmine at the heart and leather, sandalwood, cedar and coconut into the base, giving it a fruity-floral lift and a savoury edge that keeps the sweetness from turning cloying. Gourmand Kiss's tonka-vanilla-benzoin base is pleasant but flatter and more straightforwardly sugary, without that push-pull between gourmand and leather that fans of the original single out as its signature.
