Perfumers predict gourmand scents will dominate fall 2026 fragrance trends
Los Angeles perfume brand DedCool founder Carina Chaz says gourmand profiles are expected to remain huge for the fall 2026 season.
Warmer scents suit colder weather
As temperatures drop, consumers are moving away from zingier summer fragrances toward warmer and moodier scent profiles. Industry experts note that tried-and-true favorites alongside new launches featuring enticing notes are worth revisiting for the season.
Gourmand scents evolve beyond sweet
Carina Chaz predicts that gourmand profiles will continue to be huge but will evolve beyond super sweet scents. She adds that these new formulations aim to evoke a cozy, bundled-up feeling typical of fall fashion.
Specific notes include musk and oud
The market offers options ranging from subtle skin-like scents to rich musky ouds for the upcoming months. Several brands have released specific products featuring toasted vanilla, milky gourmand, and rich chocolate notes to match these trends.
