Do you want to know more about this perfume?
It opens with salted butter toast, and it does so literally: warm bread, fat, and a touch of salt that keeps it from becoming cloying from the very first second. The heart is raw cookie dough, sweet and floury, the kind you eat by the spoonful before baking. The base is rounded out by chocolate cream with chopped hazelnut, and that is where the fragrance comes to stay: it is the part everyone recognizes at first hit.
Le Gourmand is an extrait de parfum by Jousset Parfums, created by perfumer Jimmy Bodin, and launched in 2023. The house sums it up in six words that capture the intention well: gourmand, chocolate cream, buttery, bread, bold, and edible.
It projects, so one spray is enough and it is best not to overdo it. It shines in the afternoon and in the cold. It is the most literal of the Jousset gourmands we have: Comfy Ture stays at breakfast, Praline Maligne goes to white chocolate with caramel, and Delicious Black Powder takes cocoa into dry territory with suede.
