The cult-favorite gourmand, in the collector’s format. Same juice, tester value.
The Scent
Fève Gourmande opens with a warm, spiced embrace — clove and black pepper that tingle rather than bite, like the first sip of mulled wine on a December evening. The cocoa accord arrives quickly: dark, bitter-edged cacao shavings dusted over a velvety rose that keeps things from tipping into dessert territory. Smoked tea and honey add a savory dimension, then rum enters — boozy and warm, not sharp. Patchouli anchors the base with earthy depth. “A Salvador Dalí painting in scent,” as Guerlain puts it.
The Collection
L’Art & La Matière, Guerlain’s ultra-luxury single-ingredient collection. Launched 2023 by Delphine Jelk as the reborn Gourmand Coquin. This is the 200ml tester format — identical fragrance, simplified presentation, significant savings.
