Jousset Parfums Gourmand Bakhoor Extrait de Parfum is a real gourmand scent that jogged my memory of dulce de leche; caramelized, nutty, milky, and honeyed in its sweetness at instances. It was a linear scent and really a lot smelled the identical 12 hours later because it did within the first hour, which is nice for those who love the best way it smells instantly.

What does Gourmand Bakhoor Odor Like?
It opened with an intense, deep-dark caramel with cocoa undertones and honey trickling into it. There was a booziness to it in a manner–so heady, darkish, and wealthy. Quickly, it turned nuttier, extra multi-faceted with lighter caramel, golden honey, and milky chocolate.
After 10 minutes, an nearly floral-like honey got here by means of and settled over the chocolate base. It slowly turned extra buttery, sweeter and extra golden over the following 20 minutes and remodeled into dulce de leche, milky, caramelly, and vanillic.
It ended up having the identical set of notes all through the rest of the damage–it turned barely milkier towards the drydown (about eight hours in), however there have been very refined adjustments that had extra to do with the perfume weakening barely over time, although it was longer-wearing than most on me.
Longevity
It lasted for eight hours till it was a skin-scent and about 16 hours earlier than it was fairly tough to detect on my pores and skin. The sillage and projection have been average and didn’t transfer near the physique/the pores and skin till the fourth hour.
Private Notes
These are extra subjective emotions based mostly on what I like (or don’t like) in a fragrance in addition to contemplating the perfume in opposition to different perfumes I personal and love.
Testing Methodology
For testing, I used 1/3 of a 0.7ml pattern vial dabbed to the underside and topside of my wrist space. I used an unscented moisturizer previous to making use of the scent as I discovered scent didn’t maintain nicely right here in any other case.
I bought my pattern in January 2022; fragrances are recognized to be reformulated over their lifetime, so be conscious of when a evaluate was made, e.g. a evaluate from 2010 could not replicate what the same-named fragrance smells like in 2022.
Availability
Gourmand Bakhoor is obtainable for $95/50ml.
If potential, I extremely suggest making an attempt a perfume earlier than buying a full bottle as a result of perfume can put on in a different way simply due to pores and skin chemistry. Pores and skin chemistry can impact not simply the longevity of a perfume but in addition what notes are distinguished or hidden.
Gourmand Bakhoor Samples
We suggest the next retailers for buying decanted samples (usually 0.7ml to 2ml in dimension). It is a fuller checklist, so particular person availability could depend upon stock.
