Sweet-and-Savory Treats

The gourmand trend that Angel launched in 1992 has been evolving from sweet-sweet to sweet-and-savory. With L, Lolita Lempicka has created a vanilla scent with salted-butter caramel accents, a theme that can also be found in the new perfume by Mauboussin, inspired by the flavors of childhood. Another popular savory-sweet sensation: rice. Paired with vanilla and cherry blossom, the note is featured in the fragrance KenzoAmour.
