Gourmand Addict

I sprayed this on my wrist while in Zara, and went my merry way shopping for a few hours. It developed beautifully on my skin. I caught whiffs of the scent every few minutes. For an EDT, the longevity is not bad at all. The sillage is not offensive, I think it's very suitable for intimate encounters. Very feminine scent that's not overly floral. I'm very pleased with Zara's offering in the fragrance department. Gourmand Addict reminded me so much of Paco Rabanne's Pure XS for Her, but the scent was dead-on YSL's Black Opium! I did a side-by-side comparison of Gourmand Addict with Pure XS and Black Opium in Sephora - the likeness of the three blew me away! I compared Gourmand Addict to Zara's Gardenia EDP, and I found that they smelled sooo similar especially when they were drying down. I don't believe they only put peach, cassis, and patchouli in this. I could smell the yummy vanilla. Then again, they were not wrong for not fully disclosing the notes of Gourmand Addict, many perfume houses had done the same. Gourmand Addict is a 2019 release so I don't know if Zara is trying to phase out Gardenia, but I asked one of the sales assistants if Gourmand Addict was in their permanent collection. They said yes! I liked the scent so much I bought backup bottles of it because Zara's fragrances are only available at selected stores in where I live, and I couldn't purchase it directly from Zara's online store since they just don't make that an option for God-knows-why. It lasted about four to five hours, and arm's-length sillage so don't overspray it! Anywho, Gourmand Addict is going into my perfume wardrobe. I hope it will never be discontinued!

It’s a love at the first sniff !! I was blown away by how this perfume smell, sooo deliciouss!! This kinda remind me of the drink called sarsaparilla which i loved to drink when i was young so haha it kinda brought back memories.. Actually i went to zara that time specifically just to try out their fragrances as they were recommended by youtuber Demi Rawling.. so i went there and try out almost all their female fragrances and few of their male fragrances.. They were all beautiful and likable i would say.. but this one.... ummmm.. this one is soo special,, like stand out over all other fragrances.. Beside the Gourmand Addict, I personally like Pink Flambe, Rich warm addictive, Nude Bouquet, and Light Bloom. Moreover, this fragrance is so affordable compared to other designer fragrances.. so definitely need to check this out!

so random how zara gourmand addict is one of my most highly complimented zara fragrances. this one seems to be overlooked but it has become such a favorite of mine. i can't really describe in details what this smells like. to me it's a fruity yet rich type of fragrance and i love this in the fall and winter. i can smell the notes of peach and benzoin the most. this is an easy reach for me when i don't know what perfume to wear but i know that i just want to smell good. for a zara fragrance, this lasts a long time as well! will definitely repurchase once i'm out, but won't be too sad if it gets discontinued and i don't have a backup. it's that type of fragrance to me, can't really describe the relationship i have with this fragrance 🤣

I actually really like this! A fun summer appropriate, date kinda scent. Like a day-date instead of date night. Two men complimented me when I wore this scent (one did so repeatedly) so I'll take that as a win. A few reviews on YouTube described this scent as a peach champagne and I think that is really accurate! There is a certain effervescence about this scent. That description was what prompted me to purchase the perfume and I'm glad I did. I am quite sensitive to fragrances and unfortunately this gives me a headache. However, most scents seem to do that for me and I'm happy to tolerate that for the sake of smelling nice, lol

Floral peach to my nose. I don't get the patchouli until the dry down ...such a pretty scent I really like it a lot. On my skin shockingly, it lasted all day. I think I will layer this with a peach scented cream for a bit more sweetness that I would enjoy. Zara fragrances are a wonderful way to expand my fragrance collection for very little money!
