    Every Saturday, my little family and I head over to the local patisserie to pick out a breakfast pastry. My son always chooses a classic croissant, and my husband and I choose our treat of the day based on our mood\u2014a sugar-coated kougin amman, a fancy cronut filled with raspberry lemonade cream, or maybe a scone.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    The bakery obviously smells amazing, given that all manner of delicious pastries are baking while we browse\u2014and now, a whole new fleet of fragrances wants to replicate that tempting \u201clittle treat\u201d run, sans the sugar rush. Baked goods are having a moment in the fragrance world, so get your sweet tooth ready. Ahead, we unpack the trend, and share some of our favorite freshly-baked fragrances.\n<\/p>\n

    The Trend <\/span><\/h2>\n

    After years of Santal 33 domination where it felt like every popular fragrance smelled leathery and smoky, things did a complete 180 and landed in Candy Land, so to speak. Vanilla reigned supreme on PerfumeTok, and a subset of unique gourmands and sweet scents like Tom Ford\u2019s Lost Cherry, Baccarat Rouge 540, and DS & Durga\u2019s Pistachio and Deep Dark Vanilla took over\u2014not to mention the incredible popularity of Sol de Janeiro\u2019s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream with its pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla aroma. Basically, everyone smelled good enough to eat.\n<\/p>\n

    And we still do! It\u2019s only natural that pastry-inspired scents would begin to pop up as a reaction to the gourmand obsession. This doesn\u2019t mean that we\u2019re saying goodbye to vanilla, caramel, and their cohorts; they\u2019re just hanging at the bakery instead of the ice cream shop! Macarons, madeleines, croissants, and cakes are on the menu. Even Auntie Anne\u2019s, the pretzel queen of your local mall, got in on the action, releasing a limited-edition scent\u2014er, eau de pretzel\u2014called Knead. (And yes, it sold out.)\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    The Scents <\/span><\/h2>\n

    Despite its name, Maison Margiela Replica\u2019s Afternoon Delight isn\u2019t a sexy, sensual fragrance alluding to a midday romp in a motel bed; it\u2019s actually a sweet gourmand with notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and what the brand calls a \u201cmadeleine accord\u201d to convey sensorial memories of eating a warm madeleine with someone you love. At the top, you\u2019ll instantly recognize the soft, doughy scent of a baked good, and it develops into a light, wearable gourmand.\n<\/p>\n

    Snif Crumb Couture <\/span><\/h3>\n

    Snif\u2019s Crumb Couture, a scent from their \u201csecret menu,\u201d is perhaps the most surprisingly delightful pastry frag, a croissant-inspired scent that opens with the buttery, doughy scent of a fresh-from-the-oven croissant covered in berry jam. But don\u2019t worry about smelling like straight-up bread all day; the scent dries down to a lovely, wearable woody vanilla base. (In case you were wondering, I ran it past the ultimate croissant expert, my three-year-old, and it passed his highly coveted approval test.)\n<\/p>\n

    If your tastes run more Marie Antoinette-style fancy little cakes instead of bread-based pastries, try Marissa Zappas\u2019s lighthearted Annabel\u2019s Birthday Cake, which smells like\u2014you guessed it\u2014a delicious, lemon-and-tuberose, pastel-frosted birthday cake with a hint of rubber party balloon.\n<\/p>\n

    Perhaps the most literal on the list, this gourmand is inspired by walking into an Italian bakery on a chilly day. The heart of the fragrance captures the aroma of a flaky broiche, but there’s also notes of caramel, butter, and espresso.\n<\/p>\n

    DS & Durga\u2019s Gateau Blackout was inspired by a fond memory of a specific Black Forest Cake and is a warmer, richer, spicier take on the trend. You can go get <\/em>a little treat while smelling <\/em>like a little treat. There\u2019s really nothing better than that.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
