The perfumes that smell like a bakery Attention: fragrances to spray, not to eat

If the idea of walking into a bakery and being wrapped in the scent of freshly whipped butter, sugar, and vanilla makes your mouth water, pause for a moment: this article is for you. Yes, we've already talked about cinnamon roll-inspired fragrances, but bakeries are much more than that. Having breakfast out is a joy we all should indulge in, and being surrounded by the smell of freshly baked sweets is one of those small pleasures that can suddenly make life more beautiful. Gourmand fragrances satisfy those little indulgences we rarely allow ourselves: from almond croissants to warm brownies, here are some scents that bring them to mind.

Fragrances that smell like pastries and bakeries

Almond Croissant – Crumb Couture Almond by Snif

Crumb Couture Almond by Snif is practically like biting into the perfect almond croissant: crispy on the outside and soft inside. Notes of powdered sugar and vanilla blend with a heart of almond cream, while the base of buttercream, musk, and sandalwood leaves a warm and enveloping trail. Unfortunately, not edible.

Red Fruit Danish – Burro e Marmellata by Marcoccia

Burro e Marmellata by Marcoccia smells like those buttery Danish pastries filled with fruit and caramelized layers, with burnt sugar sticking to your fingers. The top notes are bread and butter, while the heart is a mix of cherry, strawberry, and sour cherry with a touch of cinnamon to warm it up. The base of sandalwood, sugar, vetiver, and vanilla gives a soft and enveloping trail.

Banana Bread – Nanatopia by Borntostandout

What bakery would be complete without banana bread? It's that comfort order you make when you want to play it safe. Nanatopia by Borntostandout is a warm, spicy, and enveloping fragrance: opening with rum, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The heart blends ripe banana and caramel with the scent of bread, while the base notes of tonka bean, cypriol oil, and Orcanox add an even more intense gourmand trail.

Freshly Baked Bread – Bread + Roses by Pearfat Perfume

Bread + Roses by Pearfat Perfume combines the scent of freshly baked bread made with warm, crusty sourdough with a delicate rose, sweetened by orange and warmed by a hint of nutmeg. The base of labdanum and cocoa adds an even more enveloping trail.

Brownie – Chocolat Chaud by Essnce

Chocolat Chaud by Essnce is literally a dessert in fragrance form. Its notes resemble the ingredients for the perfect brownie: butter, toasted bread, and a pinch of salt open the fragrance, followed by a heart of chocolate and dark brownie, finishing with a base of hazelnut for an even more indulgent touch.

Pain Suisse – Exotic Chocolate by Salum

Exotic Chocolate by Salum reaches the ultimate gourmand: pastry cream, white chocolate, milk, and vanilla create a sweet opening that is never cloying thanks to star anise, cinnamon, and musk.

Cookies – Lait de Biscuit by Chabaud

Caffè Latte – Amore Caffè by Mancera
