Accident À La Vanille - Crème De La Berry
by Jousset Parfums
This perfume delivers a rich, sweet gourmand experience with strong strawberry and vanilla notes, evoking the scent of a milky strawberry milkshake, Cap'n Crunch Berry cereal, or a warm vanilla waffle cone with berries. The initial burst is creamy, edible, and dense—ideal for lovers of sweet, dessert-like fragrances. It develops into a softer, buttery, lactonic drydown with hints of mixed berries and a slightly licorice-like note in the base, which some find overly sweet or synthetic. The scent is most effective in cooler weather and performs moderately in longevity with a modest, moderate sillage that lingers in close proximity. Though the character is distinctly artificial and candy-like, it holds a playful, comforting charm that resonates with fans of gourmand perfumes and differs notably from its original counterpart.
