Ultra-Gourmand from Paris: JOUSSET combines La Collection Blanche and La Collection Noire into modern niche fragrances
The niche perfume highlight for Fall/Winter 2025, curated by scent amor.
JOUSSET Parfums is more than a brand; it's the idea of translating sweet memories into artistic fragrance compositions . Founded in Paris by Melis Bodin and in-house perfumer Jimmy Bodin , the house tells a story that begins with the family and continues in highly concentrated extracts. "Ultra-Gourmand™" is not an effect, but a signature: a niche fragrance that cultivates pleasure, layers texture, yet remains wearable. The result is a niche perfume for people who love sensuality—without compromising on quality, sillage, or balance.
The soul of the brand: Jimmy Bodin – the fragrance poet behind JOUSSET
Jimmy Bodin composes his fragrances like chapters of a personal novel. His childhood memories, his love of raw materials, and his respect for craftsmanship form a distinctive signature: creamy, approachable, yet precisely constructed. The fact that Jousset bears his mother's maiden name is both a declaration of commitment and a driving force – each fragrance is a gesture of closeness. For modern unisex niche fragrances, this means less pathos, more emotion; less volume, more texture.
White light, black velvet – La Collection Blanche and La Collection Noire at scent amor
At scent amor, JOUSSET launches with two worlds that mirror each other. La Collection Blanche presents "gourmand niche fragrances in daylight": light, creamy, and radiant. La Collection Noire emphasizes depth and smoldering: evening glow, contoured warmth, and refined darkness. Both collections demonstrate how luxurious niche perfume elevates sweetness to culture—modern, wearable, and memorable.
La Collection Blanche – Bright gourmand signatures that carry the day
JOUSSET CIAO BELLO PISTACHIO Extrait de Parfum captures the sensation of Italian pastry: pistachio cream , waffle-batter warmth, and buttery notes on an airy, almost edible accord. The fragrance remains elegant, never sticky, becoming a sophisticated niche fragrance for those who combine comfort and style.
JOUSSET GOURMAND BAKHOOR Extrait de Parfum combines milky caramel and delicate smoky wood to create a warm, soothing veil. The composition sits like a soft layer of fabric on the skin—ideal for quiet, focused days and evenings that require closeness.
JOUSSET AFRICAN QUEEN Extrait de Parfum balances citrus brightness with chocolate lemon and almond accents. The result is both confident and sensual: a modern unisex niche fragrance that combines freshness and gourmand in a clean silhouette.
La Collection Noire – Depth, melting and structured darkness
JOUSSET LE GOURMAND Extrait de Parfum is the quintessence of the brand: associations of chocolate and hazelnut, hints of butter, warm bread—and a woody cream that holds everything together. A niche perfume like a hug, with a sophisticated projection.
JOUSSET ACCIDENT À LA VANILLE Extrait de Parfum celebrates vanilla in all its facets—creamy, smoky, luscious, subtle. Those seeking deep, complex vanilla will find a "vanilla with character" here that warms the day and enhances the evening.
JOUSSET ACCIDENT À LA VANILLE – MADELEINE DE PROUST Extrait de Parfum deliberately highlights the effect of memories: pastry echo, vanilla heart, a shimmer of toasted crust – nostalgia without a sugar shock.
JOUSSET LA TARTE TATIN Extrait de Parfum unfolds caramelized apples over buttery pastry and warm oven air. The sweetness remains well-defined, creating an autumnal and refined impression, ideal for the golden hour.
JOUSSET DELICIOUS BLACK POWDER Extrait de Parfum is the dark look at gourmand: cocoa powder, fine dust, velvety depth - built for evenings, for textures of velvet and leather, with a sillage that lingers in the memory.
Craftsmanship, origin, attitude – why JOUSSET Ultra Gourmand is different
JOUSSET manufactures in France, deliberately using extract concentrations, with a focus on texture and longevity. Refill concepts, reduced materials, and traceable origins are part of their philosophy – a niche fragrance shouldn't dazzle, but rather fit. Therefore, the formulas have a "clear" effect on the skin: they embrace rather than overwhelm, and they remain tangible when the room becomes quieter.
Gourmand 2025: Why sweet textures win this fall/winter
Gourmand is, at its core, temperature . When the air gets cooler, when wool, cashmere, and leather define the wardrobe, vanilla, nutty, and cocoa-accented accords find their perfect stage. There are three reasons for Fall/Winter 2025. First, emotional comfort : creamy, slightly smoky structures soothe and fill the room with gentle warmth. Second , material resonance : on heavy fabrics and in interiors, sweet accords appear grounded and noble, not loud. Third, modern architecture : bright citrus tips keep the entry transparent, while wood and amber molecules provide backbone, ensuring the sweetness remains precisely contoured . Whether it's JOUSSET ACCIDENT À LA VANILLE as a vanilla icon, JOUSSET LA TARTE TATIN as an apple and caramel poem, or JOUSSET DELICIOUS BLACK POWDER as dark cocoa – Gourmand becomes the inner heater of the season: comforting, present, and absolutely wearable.
Application & Style: Fewer sprays, more presence
Ultra-gourmand thrives on dosage . One or two sprays are sufficient; the melting sensation unfolds over hours on pulse points. Layering follows the principle of "first light, then warmth": a light citrus or tea texture under JOUSSET CIAO BELLO PISTACHIO or JOUSSET GOURMAND BAKHOOR ; in the evening, a micro-dosed resin or leather nuance adds depth. Texture , not volume, is crucial – this is how a sophisticated niche fragrance remains elegant, in the office as well as on stage.
