So I want to try going into gourmand perfume, however I feel like gourmand notes evaporate really quickly on me. Also, notes that are too sugary sweet tend to make me feel nauseous. So, is there any way to make gourmand last longer on skin? Also, perhaps some recommendations? I like coffee, chocolate, fresh bread bakery type of gourmand notes.

I am not into gourmand perfumes, they often make me feel nauseous.
Anyway, i have 3 in my collection that I like :
Bianco Latte . It smells coffee, chocolate in a very nice way
Teriaq the scent reminds me a freshly made Baba au Rhum
and my favorite Tobacco Honey , honey but in a Guerlain way.
@Dssszzz this is my favorite topic, I love gourmands! 😄 💖
Fragrance longevity:
- Do you know if you're going "nose blind" while wearing? If a friend or family member can still smell your fragrance after a few hours even when you can't, then you'll know
- Vaseline or body oil on your skin can help make the fragrance last longer; spraying on your clothes can also help
- Some gourmand notes often don't project well (vanilla) or last as long as others do (lemon), so it's hard to make some of these notes last or feel stronger; layering with a body oil of the same fragrance type (i.e. vanilla perfume layered with vanilla body oil) can help
