Gourmand

Marron glacé smells like candied chestnuts wrapped in spun sugar—imagine biting into a glossy, caramelised chestnut and finding that sweet, almost creamy interior with faint woodsy undertones. It's honeyed and buttery, reminiscent of roasted nuts and caramel, yet more refined than simple toffee. There's a subtle earthiness beneath the sweetness, like autumn leaves dusted with icing sugar. It's the olfactory equivalent of luxury confectionery: indulgent, slightly creamy, with a gentle warmth.

Gourmand

Tonka bean smells like warm vanilla custard swirled with almond cream and a whisper of caramel tobacco. Imagine the sweetness of Madagascar vanilla, but richer and almost spiced—there's a subtle nuttiness underneath, as if someone's stirred in crushed amaretti biscuits and a pinch of cinnamon. It's gourmand without being cloying; the scent wraps around you like cashmere, creamy and comforting rather than sticky-sweet.
