Gourmand Bakhoor

I just got this in the mail today and I was a bit nervous spraying it due to all the comments saying it smells like spoilt milk. But I’m so happy it smells amazing😍 This smells nothing like spoilt milk. At least not to my nose. To me this is the most delicious, scrumptious, creamy, lactonic toffee scent. It’s milky, smooth, and super sweet. Imagine a thick and gooey caramel/toffee sauce poured over milky vanilla icecream. It’s exactly that! I actually do see similarities with buontalenti, except gourmand bukhoor is a more caramel and milky version of it. Also I detect zero incence, leather or smoke, so if you were worried about that, don’t be. It’s purely a toffee, caramelly milky scent. 🥛🍮 Overall, LOVE LOVE LOVE. I would say this is not a safe blind buy unless you are an extreme gourmand lover like myself. I imagine this wouldn’t be everybody’s cup of tea, but if you love super sweet and edible caramel milky scents, you will adore this one. Also, although it is super gourmand, it still remains pleasant and wearable as it isn’t too sickeningly sweet or overly foody. Ps. This stuff is very potent and long lasting. And the new jousset bottles and packaging are gorgeous and a huge improvement from the old packaging. 10/10

I'm shocked to read so many "bad" reviws about this beautiful Gourmand! But maybe I can understand a little bit becuose it's super sweet, and even gourmand lovers are not the same with sweet tolerance. Even for me it wasn't a love at first sniff. But I liked it from the start! I love the "milky" tones of it, and I love that it's a beast mode sweet blast. Not so many perfumes knows how to be realy milky/lactonic but this scent realy gives you sweet vanillic milk vibes! In my whole fragrance joureny I'm hunting for this kinde of "sweet vanillic milk" kinde of scents but in the end they turn out to be something that realy far from a real milky/lactonic fragrance! I tryed Comptoir Sud Pacifique - vanilla milky fragrances but... NO. They are spicey vanillas, fruty vanillas. But not the real smell of an actual vanillic milk. This has a very close vibe of it but actualy it's more sweeter then what I'm actualy think of when I'm talking about vanillic milk. But I grown to love and appreciate this fragrance! And I feel myself lucky that I was able to get my hands on it. I have a beautiful white&gold bottle version. I think that bottle color more suitable for this beautiful fragrance inside!

Mouth watering salted caramel and toffee. I wish the smoke accord was stronger. It's faint; almost absent. It performs like eau de toilette. I sprayed once on the chest and back to test and I couldn't smell it on myself. I had to double check the concentration. I will purchase a bottle and over spray each application. This scent is indulgent and addicting and warm. 9 month update. when I wore this, someone said I smelled like play-doh, and another person said i smelled like chapstick. I never thought Gourmand Bakhoor smelled like either of these things but I can't say either are far fetch. I've been blind sided by these perceptions and now im self conscious.

Miele e cioccolato bianco, con solo un tocco leggero e bilanciatissimo di bakhoor. Dolce e cremoso, appena spruzzato mi ha ricordato il profumo di una crema corpo che usavo da ragazzina e che uso ancora oggi: CIOCCOLATO BIANCO di Acquolina. L’incenso è appena accennato, quasi impercettibile: lo dice una che di solito non ama le note incensate. Curiosamente, nella piramide olfattiva su Fragrantica non è riportato il cioccolato bianco, presente invece tra le note di fondo dichiarate sul sito ufficiale di Jousset — ma per me è la nota più evidente di tutta la fragranza. Ottima persistenza e proiezione ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I love it! I go bananas over gourmands lately. Smells like milky candies, smells like toffee, vanilla. The discrete incense I get is the Hinoki. I am very nostalgic of Japan and this particular smell is very well reproduced. It is not the "in your face" cheap incense sticks you find everywhere. It is very very special, hinoki. It is like just getting out from a Japanese temple, in a nice, warm autumn day. You sit quietly on a bench outside. You can still smell the serene incense from the temple and sip from a delicious caramel latte. I want to smell it over and over.
