Jousset Parfums - Praline Maligne – Eau de Parfum

Jousset Parfums PRALINE MALIGNE Extrait de Parfum

 RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 20, 2025

The clever temptation – gourmand redefined, rich + uncompromisingly modern

Jousset Parfums PRALINE MALIGNE Extrait de Parfum is the elegant answer to the question of how far a gourmand niche perfume can go without ever becoming banal. As part of the Collection Blanche, it translates the indulgent world of French patisserie into a precise, contemporary fragrance sculpture. PRALINE MALIGNE is sweet but never cloying, opulent yet structured, seductive but laced with a “malicious” sophistication that turns sweetness into artistic niche perfumery. For collectors of luxury niche fragrances, it stands as a bold statement: gourmand, cultivated, and unforgettable.

Inspiration + Origin

This fragrance is not simply about dessert; it is about turning indulgence into art. PRALINE MALIGNE works with contrasts: creamy brightness against roasted depth, crystalline sweetness against balsamic warmth. The result is not candy in a bottle but a refined exploration of pleasure and tension. Conceived under the creative direction of Jimmy Bodin, founder of Jousset Parfums, this Extrait de Parfum (50 ml) was launched in October 2025 and represents a modern gourmand that balances craftsmanship with emotion.

The Opening – White Chocolate + Cocoa Butter

The opening note feels like a perfectly whipped ganache. White chocolate drapes the skin in creamy lightness while cocoa butter provides body, roundness, and a subtle melt. The sweetness here is sculpted, never excessive, like the glossy surface of a glazed patisserie piece. From the very first moment, the character is clear: PRALINE MALIGNE is a niche fragrance with dessert DNA, yet refined enough to be worn as a personal signature.

The Heart – Praline, Hazelnuts + Condensed Milk

At its heart, praline takes center stage, warm and velvety, layered with the crunch of roasted hazelnuts. Their nutty warmth adds texture, while condensed milk fills the spaces with a dense, creamy sweetness. This heart is where memory and modernity meet: as familiar as childhood treats, yet executed with the clarity of haute parfumerie. It never becomes kitsch; it breathes. PRALINE MALIGNE is a refined gourmand niche perfume that evokes intimacy rather than noise.

The Base – Caramel, Vanilla + Sugar

The drydown is slow, sensual warmth. Caramel flows like liquid amber, tinged with a faint smokiness. Vanilla adds its creamy glow, binding heart and base into a seamless whole. A dusting of fine sugar leaves a crystalline shimmer, sharpening the silhouette of the composition. The result is a fragrance with a cultivated sillage, long-lasting elegance, and a dry yet radiant aura—never heavy, always sophisticated.

Wearing Experience

On skin, PRALINE MALIGNE feels like satin: soft, enveloping, with a subtle sheen. On fabric, such as wool or cashmere, the roasted nut and caramel facets gain sharper contours. In cooler weather, the gourmand depth expands, while in milder temperatures the white chocolate appears lighter, more luminous. With one or two sprays, the scent is intimate; with three or four, it becomes a delicate aura that invites rather than overwhelms.

Craft + Composition

Each layer of PRALINE MALIGNE is constructed with precision, much like a master pastry: white chocolate and cocoa butter as the base, praline and hazelnuts for volume, condensed milk for density, caramel and vanilla for richness, and sugar for brilliance. As part of the Collection Blanche, this fragrance demonstrates that gourmand perfumes today can be artistic niche creations rather than clichés—sweetness sculpted with discipline.

Brand + Philosophy

Founded by Jimmy Bodin, Jousset Parfums represents a new wave of modern niche perfumery, where indulgence is paired with structure and memory with contemporary artistry. The brand’s philosophy is clear: pleasure with form, sweetness with control, nostalgia with relevance. PRALINE MALIGNE embodies this vision, showing that a gourmand perfume can be complex, sophisticated, and endlessly wearable.
