"Cooking and perfumery are closer than we think, two arts sharing the very same ingredients," shared the brand. "Just as a meal unfolds from starter to dessert, a perfume reveals itself from its [opening notes to its drydown](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-notes-collection). On the skin, it becomes a small course meal, served over time.” The Table Collection consists of Leaf Crush, Vanille Glacé and Blue Flame, each of which explores a unique facet of the dining experience. Green, aromatic Leafy Crush has vibrant top notes of yuzu, lemongrass and green grape, a heart with tea and honey, and a grounding base with touches of white musk, earthy patchouli and oakmoss. Vanille Glacé is a [true gourmand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kd-home-fragrances) inspired by marron glacé—but this interpretation of chestnut candied in syrup replaces the nutty component with vanilla. Finally, Blue Flame is a tribute to post-dinner drinks sipped to support digestion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.7/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 78% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gastronomy-inspired Fragrance:** Culinary storytelling in perfumery creates room for scent collections that mirror full dining rituals, from aperitif freshness to dessert-like drydowns. - **Multi-course Scent Design:** Fragrances structured like tasting menus signal potential for more experiential product formats that unfold sequentially on skin and deepen consumer engagement. - **Gourmand Ingredient Reinvention:** Unexpected translations of ingredients such as marron glacé, digestive drinks, and leafy aromatics introduce new sensory territories beyond conventional sweet gourmand profiles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fine Fragrance:** Luxury perfume houses are gaining new differentiation pathways through edible references, chef-like composition methods, and narrative-led launches. - **Gourmet Food:** Premium food culture increasingly overlaps with beauty and lifestyle, making recognizable culinary cues valuable assets for cross-category brand extensions. - **Experiential Retail:** Immersive fragrance discovery environments can borrow from restaurants and tasting rooms to transform product sampling into a staged sensory journey. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Canopy Restaurant Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/millo-restaurant.md) - [Five-Course Gin Journeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edinburgh-gin-present.md) - [Local-Led Culinary Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-food-tours.md) - [Transformative Powdered Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-sbagliato.md) - [European Food Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/european-food-tours.md) - [Gastronomy-Based Travel Adventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culinary-and-food-tours.md) - [Private Island Culinary Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-palm-island.md) - [Young Chef-Focused Competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/young-chef-academy.md) - [Elevated Resort Culinary Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunset-world-group.md)
