Gourmand Bakhoor Dehn Al Oud

I didn't know I was so into gourmand fragrances, but Jimmy Bodin has done it for me. Chocolate or milky coffee are really not my alley, but I just can't get enough of the smell of creamy toffee and caramel, especially when they have a surprising twist like this: Lao oudh is, as the review below pay attention; "cheesy". still this fragrance holds its caramelity top excellently throughout its whole life. This scent is just totally addicting, dries down to the deep, tongue-watering, mystery, smoky, woody, soft, caramelly suede scent...but not too much, scent is suitable, mayby even for someone, who has never smelled an oud. or even like the smell of leather. I think, that many gourmet lover can enjoy this. However, I recommend taking a sample first. I personally am completely obsessed with this delicacy.

Reminds me strongly of Xerjoff Ceylon: sweet stinky oud that is absolutely heavenly for those who like that particular flavor. the difference is that Ceylon has a big honey note while Gourmand Bakhoor Dehn Al Oud is more about the caramel, but both have real, strong, overwhelming stinky oud. I LOVE IT.

The prettiest perfume I have ever smelled. There is not a single fragrance that comes even remotely close to how good this smells. I want to inhale the full bottle into my nostrils each time I spray. Sweet, but dark. Very strong and potent, the contrast of the oud and vanille makes it a masterpiece.

I would have turned the world upside down to find another bottle of this, but I hope Jousset has improved the quality of their sprayers, the spring on this bottle just flew off and I couldn't get it fixed. pathetic.

Sampling Jousset Parfums Gourmand Bakhoor Dehn Al Oud (a 2022 flanker to the original Gourmand Bakhoor from 2020 and its special edition, Crème de la Crème, released the same year), fittingly a rich mostly-gourmand but with a darker character and the addition of oud, even a slight animalic side, with notes of burnt caramel, oud, almonds / amaretto, honey, and cocoa. Its sweet side is quite sweet but is counter with the dark, resinous, semi-animalic oud. The sweetness definitely wins out overall. In terms of quality and preference, I find it comparable to its Gourmand Bakhoor predecessors, neither significantly worse nor better, certainly worth trying for both fans of gourmands and oud, and I like the concept very much, of a gourmand-leaning oud, something in vaguely similar concept of Bojnokopoff by Fort & Manle, albeit with a less interesting overall mix. I like this, though. It’s sold at Luckyscent and Sealed Essence in the US, in parfum concentration, at a price of $230-240 for 50ml, not bad pricing, but not cheap, either. 7 out of 10
