2025 is the year when my goal is to transform myself into a walking, talking snack. If that's too on the nose for some of you folks, allow me to rephrase. 2025 is the year when I want my skin to glow, my mind to be it's calmest, and my aura to be its most attractive self. And if you too believe that you have won half the battle if you invest in materialistic purchases that contribute to this goal's actualisation, then welcome abode! I believe, that the most essential thing one can do in this area is invest in a perfume. And if we delve deeper, a gourmand perfume with edible notes is just the one to own this year.

So while on a spree to make my goal a reality I found 12, and here are the best ones we came across on Reddit, so read on!

With cherry being Tik-Tok girlies' favourite fruit this year (iykyk), this TF gourmand perfume is just the one to own! A very sweet, very fleeting almond-cherry scent, overly reliant on a doughy tonka-almond-vanilla accord and little else, it's just what you need to smell like a cherry coulis.

Some might argue that mists don't stay long on people. They may not last that long on some people, but this one lasts a whole day for me. It's a lovely sweet berry scent that I wear when I want something fresh and girly and edible without breaking the bank.

With top notes of candied citrus, orange blossom and vanilla, this one is a citrusy take on gourmand. Devotion perfume opens with a single sweet and tangy note of candied lemon. The heart brings in the delicate floral citrus of orange blossom and combines it with notes of panna cotta and rum.

A user on Reddit has labeled this one as 'a spot-on replica of a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie'. The warm, inviting fragrance opens up with sweet caramelized vanilla before settling into toasted macadamia nut and white chocolate. It dries down to sophisticated tonka bean and coconut blossom notes.

Lovely, sweet honey with a light hint of vanilla. Smells almost edible like the icing on a honeycomb pastry. Not cloying but could be too sweet for a humid time. Also, some people might find it a little ayurveda-smelling so keep that in mind before investing in it.

Plum BodyLovin' Oh So Pistachio Eau De Parfum

If you are looking for a gourmand perfume on a budget, Plum BodyLovin' Oh So Pistachio Eau De Parfum should be your jam! Opening is floral with warm nuttiness of pistachios and many compare it to Kayali's Yum Pistachio fragrance. It's sweet but not in an uncomfortable way which makes it great for everyday wear.

Kilian Princess

With an interesting take on the sweetness of gourmand,  Kilian Princess's scent with that green tea on top of soft creamy sweetness was intoxicating. It wasn’t JUST sweet. It was interesting, comforting, reminded me of a tea shop that has mochi donuts baking in it. Though Kilian isn't selling in India directly at the moment, don't mind being that pesky kid who asks their relatives to carry things for them when travelling from abroad.

Lancome La Vie Est Belle L'Elixir

This is an elevated take on a gourmand perfume. The top notes are Raspberry, Liquor and Calabrian bergamot; middle notes are Violet Leaf and Rose; base notes are Leather, Cacao Butter and Cedarwood. It's sweet but in a charming, sophisticated way. It reminds you of some kind of violet-raspberry candy, but not in a chemical-y artificial way.

Montale Chocolate Greedy

If you like coco powder and want to smell like an intoxicating chocolate bomb then Montale Chocolate Greedy should be on your radar. It's a delicious, chocolate-forward scent with notes of coffee, cocoa, tonka bean, bitter orange, vanilla, and dried fruits. Smell like a sophisticated dessert with this one.

Lattafa Khamrah

You might have come across this one as a dupe of the Kilian Angel. While both of them share strong cinnamon notes, the rest of the notes do not overlap. Lattafa Khamrah is more creamy, warm and spicy on the nose, something you will enjoy if you don't like the quintessential sweet gourmand perfumes. The dates and praline lend it that velvety sweetness while the tuberose gives it a slight tropical hit.

Zara Moonlight Whisper Intense Parfum

For folks just treading into the gourmand fragrances lane and wanting to start subtle, Zara's Moonlight Whisper Intense Parfum is a great one to start with since it's more citrusy than gourmand. The tartness of the citrus coupled with the warmth of the caramelised pistachios make it a sweet but more heavily reliant on florals and citrus punches.
