Why Gen Z Is Obsessed with Smelling Like Dessert—and Why You Might Be Too!

In 2025, the fragrance world is experiencing a sweet revolution. Gourmand perfumes—scents that evoke delectable treats like vanilla, caramel, and chocolate—are captivating the senses of Gen Z and beyond. This trend, amplified by platforms like TikTok's #PerfumeTok, reflects a collective yearning for comfort, nostalgia, and individuality.

The Rise of Gourmand Fragrances

Gourmand scents are characterized by their edible notes, creating an olfactory experience reminiscent of your favorite desserts. Think of the warm embrace of vanilla, the rich allure of caramel, or the indulgent depth of chocolate. These fragrances offer more than just a pleasant aroma—they provide a sensory escape, a momentary retreat into a world of sweetness and warmth.

Why the Sweet Tooth in Scents?

The appeal of gourmand fragrances lies in their ability to evoke emotions and memories. For many, these scents are reminiscent of cherished moments—baking with family, festive celebrations, or cozy evenings. In a world that's constantly evolving, these familiar aromas offer a comforting anchor, a reminder of simpler times.

J’YUG’s Take on the Trend

At J’YUG, we embrace the essence of gourmand fragrances, crafting scents that resonate with both tradition and modernity. Our No. 3 – Vanilla Oud combines the creamy richness of vanilla with the deep, woody notes of oud, creating a harmonious blend that's both comforting and sophisticated. It's our homage to the timeless allure of sweet scents, reimagined for the contemporary individual.

Crafting Your Signature Scent

Layering is the key to personalizing your fragrance experience. Start with a base of No. 3 – Vanilla Oud, then add a spritz of No. 5 – Amber Spice for a touch of warmth and complexity. This combination creates a scent that's uniquely yours—sweet, spicy, and utterly unforgettable.
