Gourmand is the dessert family: vanilla, caramel, chocolate, cream and toasted nuts. The style took off in perfumery in the 1990s and is now one of the most familiar styles in candles and wax melts.
Gourmand notes sit in the heart and base of a blend, usually on a vanilla and musk foundation. Dessert notes usually carry vanillin, which can tint light wax and soap from cream to brown over time. Check the vanillin figure in each product's details and plan your colors around it.
