Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Vincent Ricord. Escapade Gourmande opens with Sugar Cane, settles into a heart of Vanilla and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk and Benzoin. Maison Mataha's Escapade Gourmande carries a Statement verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This one's a proper sweet shop bomb - sugary vanilla with a hint of burnt caramel, it's either a tooth-achingly delicious dream or a one-way ticket to play-doh city. Divisive but adored by gourmand lovers, if you can get past the price and potential "cat pee", you're in for a treat.

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 intensely sweet and sometimes potent sillage makes it less suitable for an office, but it's a stellar choice for casual wear given its comforting gourmand profile. For dates, its sensual and delicious nature makes it quite appealing, though it might be a bit too sweet for very formal events. It's clearly not designed for sport.

About

Escapade Gourmande opens with a blast of raw, crystalline sugar cane, quickly melting into a rich vanilla and tonka bean heart. It’s a photorealistic crème brûlée, all burnt sugar and creamy custard, eventually settling into a warm, musky base. The benzoin adds a subtle depth, preventing it from being overly simplistic, though some sniff out an almond-like powderiness.
