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!

The bottle that I have is the most recent one with the white top and more rounded bottle. Zara has a few more notes listed on their website. Nonetheless, I've decided that I will show more love to Gourmand Addict throughout the rest of the year. I will no longer treat her like a neglected leftover.

Tried this on in store and I fell in love with it! The opening is fruity like peaches and has a subtle soapy note that cools down the gourmand-ness. It mellows out to smelling like toasty vanilla marshmallow. I adore this and I feel like it could be a great scent to transition from day to night.

One of the best out of best zara perfume ...for me it's peachy chocolaty scent ..it has peach at the top n thn little bit chocolate comes with it .. smells delicious not in gourmand way bt in a brighter sexy fruity way

I wore this perfume for 2 days in a row and I got a lot of compliments. Someone said I smell like honey and it made me so happy. I just wished it lasts long . I would give it an 8 out of 10

Great everyday scent! Reminds me of Si G.A. Not a fan of gourmand, however this isn’t a sickly gourmand has a lovely dry down

This is still my favourite parfum ever, too sad that it's been discontinuedfor years and I only have like 10ml left... :((((

I'm not a fan of patchouli, so I expected to dislike Gourmand Addict. The notes in this frag are well-balanced-- I wore it every day for about a week and a half when I first bought it. It's great for colder months because it's sweet, creamy, warm, and cozy. While longevity is not great, I strongly recommend using a light hand because it has the capacity to overwhelm given its sweet nature. A light hand works so much better and leaves a cleaner, creamier scent that won't offend those sensitive to perfume. I detect some similarities with Black Opium, but this is of course a much tamer product as compared to monstrous Opium, which is also far more impressive and developed in performance. I see some similarities with Rihanna's Reb'l Fleur as well. I love this for everyday use, running errands, or just hanging out at home. I prefer to use it during the day and in colder months. Since I already have Opium, Reb'l, Si, and LVB which are kinda in the same family, I won't repurchase it.

It smells like a strong delicious sweet fruit tea. Sweet but not overly sweet. It's dirt cheap so I always shower myself in it. I detect more fruits than only peach, maybe pear? This is a great every day not too serious type of scent. Not for the powerful business women trying to make an impact on someone, but for anyone who wants to smell nice and delicous. Great for spring/summer, running errands, gym and easy-grab fresh out of the shower. Not very long lasting though. Great to be layered with other fragrances since it's not complex with only 3 notes. I add this whenever I want to add a touch of sweet playful fruityness to my other perfumes. I smell vanilla in here as well which is not listed. For being Zara I have to say it's great for the price. I got the 180 ml bottle for 17$. A really simple nice cheapie.

Fruit salad, one of those fruit salads in syrup and cherries that come inside an aluminum can. I feel the peach but also a bit of pear and pineapple, this is definitively a sweet fruity scent. I wouldn’t mark this as “elegant”, it’s more like a fun, young scent. After the fruit, I feel a note of milk chocolate (?) or some sort of creamy note is coming through. The patchouli will come through afterwards, as a base note, to make this perfume a bit “more serious” and deep. Because of the mainly fruity nature of the perfume, I think it’s a Spring or Summer scent that will succeed on a younger wearer (or, it will make you feel younger!).

My favourite perfume to date, and I have much more popular fragrances like La Vie Est Belle and Angel Iced Star. This fragrance is so sexy, very heady, very creamy and warm, intoxicating in the same way that Olympea, Rihanna's Rebl Fluer or Black Opium is without smelling like any of those. I personally think its very sophisticated and sensual because its so strong, musky and peachy sweet at the same time. It's the perfect balance of peach and patchouli. Lasts hours on the skin and is very strong. My boyfriend goes crazy for it and doesn't stop smelling me when I have it on. Such a bargain for the lasting power and scent!!

Again, I blind purchased this one based on review and after reading the notes in here. I came here to check on the notes and review before buying. Yes I like it! I like the peachy in the opening and it doesn't cause me headache. It's a fun and outgoing perfume that I will wear at day or night time. Performance and projection is 7/10. It does last 4-5 hours on my skin and I don't mind to reapply coz I always do that :) Not one of my Zara's favourite, but it is still acceptable. Love!

Very fruity at first, like a peach puree or something delicious. But it’s not only just fruity, it has some nice depth in it. Dry-down is less fruity than the first whiff. To me it’s quite unique perfume, I don’t really see similarities with any other perfume. Nice atomizer, nice bottle, but cap feels cheap (which it probably is :) ). Sadly it doesn’t last on me very long, but I guess it’s worth the price. But I know some perfumes from Zara (like red temptation) last a lot longer.

This has a delicious jammy opening, somewhere between peach and summer fruits, which hangs around for a few hours before a strong patchouli note shows itself and takes over (the best part). This is very close to Paco Rabanne Pure XS and also puts me in mind of Flowerbomb, though the latter has a sweeter opening. It has reasonable projection and lasts at least 6h or so on me. I really like this, and for a £20 perfume it is a pretty good dupe for XS.

after a few more sprays, I actually really don't like this fragrance. Smells like a cheap peach on the opening, and the dry down actually gets more "gourmand" (the patchouli comes out) but it's spoiled by a very plasticky kind of smell which I hate. I haven't seen this review anywhere else though so i may just have a spoiled bottle; but I'm probably not finna use this.

Opens very fruity and sweet, as time pases it becomes more woody and spicy. I can see how some people compare it to Black Opium, similar vibes. For me it feels way too heavy and kinda cloying to wear during hot weather, I'd recommend it for autumn or colder months. I have a sample size and doubt I'll get the full size, it's alright but pretty generic.
