Le Monde Gourmand New Releases

Le Monde Gourmand has launched L'Essence Shirin Eau de Parfum, a $30 floral musk co-created with actor and digital creator Cyrus Veyssi, available from 5 October 2026 at Ulta Beauty stores across the US, ulta.com and gourmandbeauty.com. The brand describes the scent with the tagline "Fresh. Flirty. Vibrant."

What's New

L'Essence Shirin is a new eau de parfum co-created by Le Monde Gourmand and Cyrus Veyssi. According to the brand, the floral musk blends Veyssi's Persian heritage, witty personality and unapologetic self-expression. Le Monde Gourmand says pomegranate gives the scent juicy brightness, transparent jasmine adds a soft floral glow, and amber musk provides a warm finish.

The full note breakdown, per the brand's site:

• Top: Pomegranate Gems, Ambrette Seeds, Bergamot
• Heart: Transparent Jasmine, Date Accord
• Base: Sandalwood, Amber Musk, Orcanox

The 2026 release comes in a single 1 fl oz / 30 ml size. No other sizes have been announced.

The Story Behind the Scent

In an interview with ShowBiz, Veyssi said the fragrance took about a year and a half to develop and that they kept full creative control. They first assumed the offer was a licensing deal: "At first, I thought it was one of those licensing deals where I'd just have to slap my name on something, so I wasn't interested." Le Monde Gourmand approached Veyssi after their repeated posts about the brand's Miel Bébé fragrance. Veyssi says they have bought more than 40 bottles of it.

Dozens of versions were made before the final formula was chosen. The concept draws on Veyssi's childhood. Their mother owned a fragrance boutique in Paris that carried a scent called Reminiscence, which she later brought to the US. Veyssi says the boutique left them with memories of patchouli and amber. They chose pomegranate as the starting point because it is both tart and lush, and as a nod to their Persian heritage.

"I wanted to create a sweet but fresh-smelling fragrance that would bring me back to my childhood and remind me of my Persian heritage," Veyssi said.

Veyssi has also been announced in the role of May in a Broadway production.

If your signature scent leans warm, sweet, and just a little dessert-inspired, Le Monde Gourmand has a new mini set with your name on it. The Le Petit Duo Set: Crème pairs two of the brand's gourmand Eau de Parfums — Crème Vanille and the limited-edition Pumpkin Crème — in travel-friendly 20 ml bottles tucked inside a red gift box. Spotted on Sephora Italia and currently listed for €38, it's a tempting way to try both scents before committing to a full size.

Inside the Le Petit Duo Set: Crème

The set brings together two of Le Monde Gourmand's cosiest gourmands in 20 ml minis. The brand sells both scents in full-size 30 ml bottles, shown in the photos below.

Crème Vanille Eau de Parfum

An elevated vanilla the brand describes as timeless and nostalgic, with a smooth, ambery warmth. The pyramid opens on creamy apricot, melts into a heart of vanilla orchid, and settles on a base of brown sugar and golden amber. One reviewer says it's "like being hugged by a vanilla bean" — ideal if you want a soft, everyday signature that isn't cloying.

Best for: vanilla lovers, year-round wear, layering fans.

Pumpkin Crème Eau de Parfum

A limited-edition fall scent that takes classic pumpkin spice in a creamy, comforting direction. Top notes of Pumpkin Spice give way to nutmeg and frothed milk, with a cosy base of musk and sandalwood.

Best for: autumn obsessives, sweater-weather commutes, anyone who wants a spiced-gourmand twist on vanilla.

Layering Tip: Vanilla + Pumpkin Spice

Le Monde Gourmand is built for mixing, and these two were practically made to be layered. Spray Pumpkin Crème first on pulse points (wrists, neck, inside elbows), then layer Crème Vanille on top — the creamy apricot and vanilla orchid soften the spice and extend the drydown into something milky, warm, and dessert-like. For extra longevity, apply an unscented body oil or lotion to clean skin before spritzing, and avoid rubbing your wrists together.
