Dossier Gourmand Vanilla is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Gourmand Vanilla opens with Ginger and Almond, settles into a heart of Orange, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Caramel. Dossier's Gourmand Vanilla carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either adore its creamy, addictive vanilla-almond dream or reach for the nearest scrubbing brush. Hugely divisive with some loving it as a dupe for a high-end scent and others recoiling from a "warm pee" undertone. Test before you commit, obviously.

Composition

Timeline

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting sweetness make it a bit much for the office. It excels on dates and casual evenings out where its cozy warmth and bold character can truly shine. Less suited for formal events or sports, where lighter, fresher scents are typically preferred.

About

Gourmand Vanilla opens with a prominent hit of sweet, nutty almond and a zing of ginger, quickly ushering in a lush heart of creamy coconut and narcotic jasmine with tropical ylang-ylang. It settles into a rich, decadent base of buttery caramel, deep vanilla, and warm tonka punctuated by smooth sandalwood. A truly indulgent and enveloping experience for vanilla lovers.
