Gourmand Bakhoor

Gourmand Bakhoor by Jousset Parfums delivers an intense, sweetly lactonic experience with a rich caramel and toffee base, balanced by smoky and incense notes that add depth. Many users note its strong, creamy opening reminiscent of toffee, vanilla, and buttery milk, with a cooling lactonic quality that some find overwhelming. The scent evolves into a softer, leather-dusted drydown for some, while others report a milky, slightly spoiled or rubbery character that can induce nausea. Its performance is impressive—long-lasting and distinctive in sillage, making it best suited for cooler weather and discreet wear. A few users detect subtle notes of hookah smoke, leather, and incense, though these are often masked by the pronounced sweetness. It’s a polarizing fragrance, praised for its gourmand intensity and niche aesthetic by some, while criticised as overly sweet, synthetic, and intrusive by others. Ideal for those who enjoy bold, rich gourmands and are open to the intense milky-toffee profile.
