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

Vanilla smells like warmth wrapped in sweetness—imagine the comforting aroma of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake, or a warm bowl of vanilla custard on a winter's evening. It's creamy and soft, almost edible, with subtle woody undertones and a hint of spice that recalls cloves or nutmeg. Pure vanilla is surprisingly complex: it's not aggressively sweet, but rather enveloping, like condensed caramel with a touch of earthy depth. It smells like indulgence and safety simultaneously.
