#SELFCARE

[caringforourselves]

trying your best does not mean putting an unbearable amount of strain on yourself.

[zibethrose]

You experience true freedom

when you stay true to your

authentic self,

no longer caring about living up

to others expectations

but your own.

Be courageous enough to not be swayed by outside

influences but allow the essence of your true nature

to saturate your lifeand embolden you to traverse the

varied life landscape, undiminished by challenges,

your trust in life allows you to learn life lessons and

grow, creating a masterpiece that reflects your

vitality and joie de vivre.

irresistibly sweet

“you literally smell edible, what scent is that?”

🍦💗 think warm sugar cookies, vanilla frosting, sweet cotton candy, and creamy cinnamon buns — the kind of scents that turn heads and have people wondering what just walked by (ps. its you!)

I went through my entire collection to find the best products that’ll have you smelling like a literal treat — whether you want fresh-baked vibes or full-on candy-coated goodness, these picks will leave a sweet trail wherever you go ❤︎ ˚₊‧

disclaimer: these are all recommendations based on the products I own. I have tried all of these products myself and can strongly recommend them

fragrances

1. Sweet Tooth - Sabrina Carpenter ( ❤︎ )

as a gourmand girlie, Sweet Tooth hits all the right spots for me. the scent is a burst of sweetness of marshmallow, sugar & ginger. the hint of ginger isn’t my favorite thing in the world, but it still dries down to smell super yummy

2. Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere - Philosophy ( ❤︎ )

this one is basically the older sister of sweet tooth. they smell nearly identical! this fragrance has all the sweetness of sweet tooth without the ginger note. this fragrance also lasts much longer on the skin and forever on clothes! def one of my favorites

3. Viva La Juicy Sucré - Juicy Couture ( ❤︎ )

I made a post going through the notes of this fragrance, and it’s so yummy! it smells super sweet with a hint of citrus. think candy and marshmallows mixed with citrus fruits

4. Tease Sugar Fleur - Victoria’s Secret ( ❤︎ )

my go to scent for the summer! but, it doesn’t smell anything like the name. this fragrance smells like a green candy apple with a super soft, floral feminine undertone. sweet, but in a fruity way

5. Warm Cookie (body mist) - VS Pink ( ❤︎ )

this one was a seasonal scent that came out in fall 2024, but will all be one of my favs from pink! with notes of gingerbread, vanilla icing, and gumdrops, the mist smells like a fruity sugar cookie. that might not sound appealing and it’s not the scent some people were expecting, but I really love it!

lotions & body butters

1. Sweet Cream (body milk) - prty grl beauty ( ❤︎ )

sweet cream is mentioned many times in this post because its just sooo good! it literally smells like whipped cream and a vanilla ice cream cone. compared to all the other sweet cream products I’ve tried (body wash, body oil, etc) the body milk has a stronger sugary smell to it (which I love!)

2. Cinnamon Buns (body milk) - prty grl beauty ( ❤︎ )

smells exactly like cinammon rolls, but not as sweet as the matching body scrub in my opinion. the cinnamon is very strong in the body milk, and you might like that! I would recommend this pairing this with a vanilla lotion

3. Glazed Donut (body milk) - prty grl beauty ( ❤︎ )

words can’t explain my love for this scent. in the summer I love pairing this with the eos vanilla cashmere lotion. it smells exactly like a fresh box of donuts from krispy kreme mixed with fruit pebbles. it’s a very sweet scent and will forever be one of my favs!

4. Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere (lotion) - Philosophy ( ❤︎ )

smells just like warm baked cookies! this is a more mature gourmand vanilla as it smells like a less artificial version of bath and body works’ warm vanilla sugar. I usually pair it with the matching perfume and the sweet creem body oil from prty grl beauty. I smell just like a bakery!

5. Sugar Cookie (lotion) - Native ( ❤︎ )

the best way to describe this scent would be animal crackers + sugar cubes. it’s extremely sweet! this can be a good or bad thing, depending on what you like. if i’m going for a cupcake and sugar scent, i’ll grab this and lather it all over

shower products

1. Fresh Cream (body wash) - Philosophy ( ❤︎ )

“its perfect for those who like sweet, powdery, and soft scents”! this body wash is super lactonic compared to the warm cashmere version. it’s a very light scent which can make it underwhelming for some people, but perfect for layering with other products

2. Sugar Cookie (body wash) - Native ( ❤︎ )

smells identical to the lotion and hair products. I have almost all the products in this line and I can recommend all of them. with sugar, butter, and vanilla notes, you’ll step out of the shower smells delectable AF

3. Sugar Cookie (shampoo & conditioner) - Native ( ❤︎ )

these two are literally the key to having sweet smelling hair. I absolutely love using this combo on my hair! I would def recommend these products if you don’t know which yummy scented shampoo & conditioner to go with

4. Sweet Cream (body wash & scrub) - prty grl beauty ( ❤︎ )

omg…where do I even begin?! these two products smell sooo good and so sweet! literally a vanilla ice cream cone. as much as I love the smell of these, they’re extremely light in scent. i would recommend using a body wash from another brand before using this one

5. Cinnamon Buns (body scrub) - prty grl beauty ( ❤︎ )

smells exactly like cinnabon and freshly made cinnamon buns. if you like the smell of those, you’ll love this scrub. i pair it with the cinnamon buns body wash from philosophy as they go sooo well together!

body oils

1. Glazed Donut - prty grl beauty ( ❤︎ )

very similar scent to the matching body milk. I love the consistency with all the scents from this brand! if you love the smell of freshly made glazed donuts, you’ll love this. I like to layer this with other scents, but using this with the matching body milk will have you smelling so so sweet

2. Sweet Cream - prty grl beauty ( ❤︎ )

my all time favorite body oil!! it smells sooo sweet and yummy (my bf loves this one!) if you want to smell exactly like a vanilla cupcake, pair this with vanilla & dreamy from vs pink or eos vanilla cashmere. I will wear this scent till I die

3. Brown Sugar Baby - prty grl beauty ( ❤︎ )

sweet and strong. it smells exactly like brown sugar syrup with a hint of caramel and in my opinion the perfect body oil pairing with any vanilla lotion! I love pairing it with eos vanilla cashmere. this body oil will have you smelling delicious and edible!

honorable mentions

more product recs to consider ˚₊‧

1. Vanilla Cashmere (lotion) - eos ( ❤︎ )

one of the best layering lotions for gourmand perfumes and body oils! it goes so well with other baskery-esque scents. this lotion is a staple in any gourmand-lovers collection because of how great it is for layering

2. Sticky Dates (body spray) - Lush ( ❤︎ )

this is an extremely strong scent that I would only recommend using with another scent. this smells nearly identical to maple syrup and caramel. it’s sickeningly sweet (which you might like) but smells too much like maple syrup for me to wear on its own

3. Cake Pop (perfume oil) - prty grl beauty ( ❤︎ )

I really like this one! it smells like a sweet vanilla cake + icing, but not exactly like a birthday cake pop from starbucks. an extremely soft and subtle scent that I love using for my bakery smelling routines!
