The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Zara, Unusual Gourmand is a fragrance that defies easy categorization. It opens with sweet and fruity notes that evoke the warmth of freshly baked treats, but these are unexpectedly balanced by salty and aquatic accords that bring a cool, refreshing quality to the composition. This tension between sweetness and freshness creates an intriguing duality, making it feel both indulgent and invigorating.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for an initial burst of sweetness that gradually reveals its cool aquatic nuances. This fragrance works best in moderate temperatures — it's neither too heavy nor too light for most occasions.
