The perfume house BORNTOSTANDOUT adds Sugar Addict to its collection, a gourmand composition signed by the perfumer Anne-Sophie Behaghel, designed to turn the appeal of sugar into a lasting olfactory signature.
A gourmandise built, not endured
Sugar Addict captures the appeal of sugar through a composition combining crystallised sugar, cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon and a touch of rum. The difficulty of a gourmand perfume lies less in the choice of materials than in their dosage: delivered without restraint, they quickly turn cloying. Anne-Sophie Behaghel builds here a balance in which crystallised sugar brings the most literal facet of gourmandise, while cocoa and cinnamon establish a spiced depth that keeps the composition from sinking into sweetness alone.
The touch of rum, at the end of the composition, acts as a binder: it recalls pastry more than confectionery, and places Sugar Addict in a gourmand olfactory family worked with the rigour of a house composition rather than with the excesses of a standardised commercial accord.
A collection built sensation by sensation
Sugar Addict belongs to a BORNTOSTANDOUT collection that approaches each perfume as the translation of a precise sensation rather than as a variation on interchangeable notes. Where many gourmand perfumes pile up sweet accords until the composition is saturated, BORNTOSTANDOUT chooses to hierarchise its materials: crystallised sugar as the immediate signal, cocoa and cinnamon as depth, rum as the final binder. This economy of means, more than an effect of overstatement, is what distinguishes a niche composition from a standardised commercial accord.
Composition: crystallised sugar, cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon, touch of rum — signed by the perfumer Anne-Sophie Behaghel.
By announcing its wish to make Sugar Addict “a true olfactory signature”, BORNTOSTANDOUT positions this perfume beyond the seasonal exercise in style: it remains to be seen whether the composition will find, over time, the place already held by the great gourmands of the genre in niche collections.
