Guerlain has introduced Fève Gourmande, a new version of 2008's Gourmand Coquin. Fève Gourmande joins the L’Art & La Matière series.
A symbol of gourmet delight, the cocoa accord reveals chocolate notes that are equally sweet and bitter. Fève Gourmande plays on this contrast, moving from gourmandise to the point of excess. This loss of olfactory reference points creates a delectably surrealist cocoa.
Floral and majestic rose shakes up the cocoa accord, heady with rum and spice notes. At the base, the woody elegance of patchouli warmed by the heat of smoky tea adds mystery to the chocolatey notes, revealing a new sensuality.
“Normally associated with childhood, cocoa reveals a new maturity. In Fève Gourmande, it is singularly blended with the depth of a smoky tea accord and the luminous elegance of rose.” Delphine Jelk, Guerlain perfumer
Guerlain Fève Gourmande is $380 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Wow, slow your roll, Guerlain! How many new perfumes have they put out in the last few months?
They did 4 in L’Art & La Matière last year, this year they’ve done 9.
But, the Extraits (6 of the 9) are probably for a limited crowd so to speak.
Sounds amazing! I am totally game for a good cocoa scent.
I think I tried it but honestly can’t remember…
I wonder how much this differs from Gourmand Coquin.
I don’t know, but anything as old as 2008 is likely to be reformulated anyway.
Guerlain has taken a dump to me personally lol still salty over the disco’s. And last time I was at the boutique..meh on the newer scents.
That said though, I do like some of the notes in this one lol. Sounds interesting but not dying to try new Guerlain these days.
I am hoping that someone will split this!
Ditto!
