We’re back from vacation, and so are the Neo-Gourmands, because today we’re once again focusing on this incredibly trendy fragrance trend. Even before our vacation, I introduced you to quite a few compositions that reinterpret the gourmand theme and infuse the fragrances with exciting facets using innovative ingredients. Ambre Latte by Essential Parfums is another one of those sweet-inspired creations that focuses on modern, airy compositions and a special twist. In this case, almond milk foam is the source of inspiration—and that alone sounds pretty delicious, doesn’t it?

Ambre Latte – Delicious enough to eat
At Essential Parfums, the perfumers behind the fragrances are highlighted as the creative minds behind the creations. The Ambre Latte bottle clearly states that Jordi Fernández was responsible for the olfactory composition of this Eau de Parfum. As mentioned earlier, his starting point was a creamy almond milk foam, which the perfumer transformed into a fragrance with woody and gourmand notes.
Fragrance notes: almond, milk, caramel, vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin, woods, ambergris
At first light, delicate, and fresh and clean, Ambre Latte soon reveals the warm, seductive scent of roasted almonds, which blend with spicy tonka bean cream, the smooth, soft nuances of benzoin resin, and sweet vanilla. The creamy sweetness of caramel and an enveloping milky quality make Ambre Latte seem like a hot beverage transformed into a fragrance. That said, it must be made clear that while the Eau de Parfum is certainly sweet, it is a far cry from all those cloying sugar bombs that the “gourmand” genre traditionally produces. No, instead of concentrated sweetness, the Eau de Parfum relies on a well-balanced blend of transparent, rather dry, and gently spicy notes that come together harmoniously. Gentle, soft woods and the balsamic warmth of amber finally round out the composition with great skill.
With Ambre Latte, Essential Parfums presents a delightful neo-gourmand fragrance that’s perfect for the cooler season ahead. Seductive, warm, and cozy, the fragrance exudes exactly the olfactory notes you need on a rainy, cool, or even snowy, frosty day. Thanks to its transparent, skin-close character, this Eau de Parfum is an absolute all-rounder that can be worn just as easily at the office as during your free time. Whether on a cozy Sunday afternoon on the sofa, when going out, meeting friends, or on a first date—Ambre Latte is simply always the right choice. A modern feel-good fragrance par excellence that has definitely won me over with its warm, soft, and wonderfully unpretentious character.
