Gourmand, 1998: Hypnotic Poison
Smell Gourmand on paper before it touches skin. The year to write is 1998, the line is “Hypnotic Poison,” and the figure is 1992. Do not lay two scents on the same wrist and call it a comparison. Mugler / Cresp / Dallery: maltol, patch, chocolate, a star bottle.
Caramel, chocolate, praline — the 1990s edible turn that made dessert a legitimate perfume family. Gourmand made dessert a legitimate family — caramel, chocolate and the 1990s edible turn. Gourmand sits in the Warmth group of this atlas. Resin and dessert — amber, spice, gourmand, vanilla, tobacco and leather.
Caramel, chocolate and praline — the 1990s edible turn that made dessert a perfume family. Not food. Concentration is oil in alcohol, not a quality score. EDT (about 5–15%) shows more top; EDP (about 15–20%) shows more heart and base. Houses vary; this is not a lab assay. One or two sprays on skin or cloth — sternum or hair, not a cloud in a lift. Let it turn an hour before you add more.
Cold months, evening. Heat turns dessert into frosting. Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter. IFRA sets industry limits on some naturals and synthetics. A reformulation is usually a legal edit, not a betrayal. This atlas is not a safety sheet.
Speak of Gourmand as 1998, “Hypnotic Poison,” and 1992. A scent is an order, not a ranking.1998
