A Sweet Encounter with Smoky Traditions: Behind Gourmand Bakhoor
The creation of Gourmand Bakhoor by Jousset stems from the idea of blending two contrasting yet harmonious worlds: the comforting decadence of gourmand notes and the mysterious, sacred aura of traditional bakhoor. Bakhoor, a fragrant incense deeply rooted in Middle Eastern culture, serves as the foundation of this fragrance, representing warmth, spirituality, and heritage. To modernize this tradition, the perfumer envisioned pairing it with gourmand elements like caramel, milk, and toffee, evoking indulgence and nostalgia. The result is a fragrance that tells a story of fusion—where ancient rituals meet contemporary appetites.
Olfactory Notes
Gourmand Bakhoor Jousset unveils itself in three mesmerizing stages, each a journey of indulgence and mystery. The opening is a decadent embrace of milk and caramel, evoking the warmth of freshly prepared toffee—a gourmand lover's dream. As it develops, smoky leather emerge, adding depth and intrigue, reminiscent of burning bakhoor in a serene, sacred space. The dry-down is a luxurious blend of toffee and lingering incense, balanced by soft woody nuances, leaving an impression of sophistication and comfort. Each stage unfolds with seamless elegance, creating an irresistible, evolving aroma that tells a story of indulgence and tradition.
