Gourmand: Latest Posts

Jo Malone London is bringing back its limited-edition Ginger Biscuit Cologne at Sephora US, online for all clients from 27 September, priced at $175 for 100 ml and $38 for the 10 ml travel spray. The festive gourmand comes in an amber bottle with a colourful lid and a black-and-cream striped bow.

What Ginger Biscuit smells like

According to Jo Malone London, the scent opens on a just-baked biscuit, spiced with ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon, melting into caramel. The brand describes it as butter-crumbly with roasted hazelnuts, warmed by tonka bean and vanilla.

Fragrantica lists the top notes as ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, the middle notes as caramel and hazelnut, and the base notes as vanilla and tonka bean. It classifies the cologne as an Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men, first launched in 2023.

Jo Malone London places it in the Warm & Sweet Gourmands family. It can be worn alone or layered, in line with the brand's fragrance-combining approach. Suggested pairings include a woody cologne such as Myrrh & Tonka, or a floral such as Red Hibiscus.

Release timing at Sephora US

The rollout is staggered:

• 26 September — online early access for Sephora Beauty Insider Rouge members
• 27 September — online for all Sephora clients
• 5 October — in Sephora stores

The cologne is a limited edition. It is available in the full 100 ml size ($175) and as a 10 ml travel spray ($38), the lower-priced option for trying or gifting the scent.

Wearing and Gifting Notes

• Spray on knitwear and scarves — scent tends to last longer on wool.
• Layer with an unscented body lotion before spraying to extend the gourmand notes.
• Gift the travel spray as a smaller-format option, for example tucked into a card or cracker.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora — 100 ml Cologne ($175); Sephora — 10 ml Travel Spray ($38); also stocked at Sephora at Kohl's.
• UK: Not yet confirmed — Jo Malone London currently notes Ginger Biscuit "isn't currently in season but will be back again soon."

DedCool launched Mocha Magic Eau de Parfum, a coffee gourmand fragrance, in September 2026, priced at $90 (US) for 50ml and $30 (US) for a 15ml travel spray. It is available on dedcool.com and at Sephora US, Sephora Canada and Space NK UK. According to DedCool, the 1.7 oz full size is not currently available for international shipping from its site.

A Coffee Gourmand With a Twist

Mocha Magic opens on espresso, mocha and cream. It moves into a heart of biscotti, toffee and bourbon and settles into a base of vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood. The fragrance is listed as heavy strength. Fragrantica classifies it as an Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. Its note list puts bourbon only in the description, not among the middle notes.

According to DedCool, the scent uses the brand's proprietary Balance Note™ technology, which is designed to reflect coffee's ability to both energize and ground. The brand describes it as warm and comforting, "like a quiet morning awakened by the scent of freshly ground coffee," and as decadent and uplifting, "like an espresso martini to energize a sparkling night out." DedCool markets its fragrances as genderless and vegan.

How to Wear It

• Application: the fragrance is rated heavy strength, so pulse points such as the wrist and the base of the neck are the standard placement.
• Travel size: the 15ml travel spray offers a smaller format at $30 (US).
• Layering: DedCool promotes layering across its range. Mocha Magic can be worn over an unscented body lotion or layered with DedCool's Milk scents.

Where to Buy

• US: DedCool ($90 for 50ml) and the Mocha Magic Travel Spray ($30 for 15ml); Sephora ($30–$90).
• UK: Space NK (15ml £24; the 50ml is listed for pre-order, UK price not yet confirmed).
• International: Sephora Canada (CA$40.50–CA$121.50); DedCool (travel spray ships internationally; full size not available for international shipping).

Gisou Cherry Chocolate Honey Infused Hair Perfume is a gourmand hair perfume with notes of red cherry, honey nectar and chocolate. It belongs to Gisou's Cherry Chocolate fall collection, alongside a lip oil and a lip mask, and has its own product page on gisou.com. As of 7 October 2026, Gisou has not published a price, size or official release date for it.

When Did the Gisou Cherry Chocolate Hair Perfume Launch?

Gisou has not announced an official release date. The hair perfume's product page was live on gisou.com by 7 October 2026, with customer reviews already posted. A fragrance creator who shared the launch reports Sephora availability, but no Sephora listing appears in our sources. The same creator says a crème brûlée scent is coming soon, which Gisou has not announced. Gisou's homepage invites shoppers to join a waitlist for early access to "la crème de la crème" of its fall collection, without naming a product.

Price

Gisou has not published a price for Cherry Chocolate. For reference, Gisou's other gourmand hair perfumes on gisou.com are $22 for 15 ml, and its standard scents are $22 for 15 ml or $38 for 50 ml. Gisou says its Vanilla Glaze hair perfume is now also available in 50 ml.

Products in the Cherry Chocolate Collection

Gisou's homepage says the collection is "inspired by cherries dipped in chocolate." All three products are built on Mirsalehi Honey. Shades, sizes and prices for the lip oil and lip mask have not been confirmed.

Honey Infused Hair Perfume - Fall Collection

According to Gisou, it gives instant hydration and scents hair with a long-lasting fragrance. The brand lists four key benefits: long-lasting fragrance, glossy shine, hydration and nourishment. Cherry Chocolate joins Gisou's earlier gourmand hair perfumes, including Sticky Toffee, Milky Mocha, Coco-Cacao and Vanilla Glaze. It also sits alongside fruit and floral scents in the same format, such as the Gisou Honey Infused Lavender Berry Hair Perfume.

Honey Infused Lip Oil - Fall Collection

The brand says it offers juicy hydration, glossy shine, an "irresistible hint of colour" and 96% naturally derived ingredients.

Honey Glaze Collagen Therapy Lip Mask - Fall Collection

According to Gisou, it nourishes, restores and adds shine. Based on a clinical study, the brand claims it gives up to 10 hours of hydration and helps strengthen the lip barrier for up to 8 hours. It also claims up to 66% smoother lips after one use.

Gisou Cherry Chocolate Fragrance Notes

• Top: red cherry
• Heart: honey nectar
• Base: velvety chocolate

Fragrantica's listing gives a broader set of notes (cherry, chocolate, milk chocolate, honey, coconut and sandalwood). These come from the database, not from Gisou's official pyramid.

What Does Gisou Cherry Chocolate Hair Perfume Smell Like?

The scent opens on red cherry, moves into honey nectar and settles on chocolate. Gisou's launch graphics call it "temptation in a bottle." On its product page, Gisou says red cherry and golden honey nectar "melt into velvety chocolate, evoking a sweetness that's anything but innocent." The brand describes it as a "rich, bold and seductively smooth" gourmand.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed (a creator reports Sephora availability)
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Gisou (euro storefront; price not shown)
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the Gisou Cherry Chocolate Hair Perfume Different?

• Gisou says the collection is inspired by cherries dipped in chocolate. The brand's earlier Glazed Cherry Hair & Body Mist instead pairs juicy cherry with fresh raspberry and sweet caramel.
• It launched as part of a hair-and-lip collection, sharing its name with a lip oil and a collagen lip mask.
• Its ingredient list includes two colourants, CI 19140 (Yellow 5) and CI 14700 (Red 4), alongside Mirsalehi Honey and argan oil.

Formula Details

According to Gisou's ingredient list, the formula is led by Alcohol Denat., which the brand says helps diffuse the scent. It also contains honey from the Mirsalehi Bee Garden and argan oil, which Gisou says contains twice as much vitamin E as an olive. The listed allergens are coumarin, eugenol, rose ketones and vanillin. The brand says the perfume can be used before heat styling but does not provide heat protection, and that Cherry Chocolate can be worn alone or layered with other hair perfumes. For other formats in Gisou's line, see the Gisou Mini Honey Infused Hair Perfume - Wild Rose, or browse all fragrance releases.

How to Use

Gisou says to divide hair into sections and spray evenly from arm's length. The brand then directs users to flip the hair to diffuse the scent.
