Guerlain Fève Gourmande is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Delphine Jelk. Fève Gourmande settles into a heart of Smoke, Cacao Pod, Spicy, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Guerlain's Fève Gourmande carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Guerlain's Fève Gourmande is a divisive beast. For some, it's a sublime, boozy chocolate masterpiece - Christmas in a bottle. For others, it's a short-lived, dusty Tootsie Roll or even medicinal cherry syrup. Sample it before you drop serious cash.

This gourmand is quite rich and luxurious, making it fantastic for dates and formal occasions where its seductive warmth can shine. Its moderate sillage and longevity mean it's not overpowering, but perhaps too indulgent for a typical office environment where something fresher might be preferred.

About

Fève Gourmande bursts open with a rich, warm spice, quickly settling into a luxurious cocoa heart. Dark chocolate powder with a boozy rum undertone is ever-present, sometimes leaning towards a jammy, smoky rose. A whisper of earthy patchouli and subtle tea notes provide depth, preventing it from becoming overly sweet, though some perceive a powdery, almost biscuit-like dry down.
