Sour yogourt or rancid cheese opening?
HAHAHA. I still can't get over how this was a rollercoaster ride of an opening. I got all of it: the sour yogourt smell, the rancid cheese aspect. It was wild to say the least. There's no fall from grace: Jousset was already at a pretty low point for my expectations and this one just... didn't disappoint my expectations, I guess?
Anyways: sour yogourt, rancid cheese: you either get one or both. If you're that Ultra Rare Special™ person, seems you might get a dreamy, creamy thing that ressembles crème brûlée, but I'm not part of that elite class. My boyfriend got all three of them in rapid succession which was wild! Thankfully it ends up moving from that weird lactonic biohazard and starts smelling like vanilla with a hint of that synthetic vanilla I've spotted in other Jousset fragrances. Bland, uninspired and nowhere near crème brûlée. If you wanna go for that, you're better off with Escapade Gourmande.
Some people have said letting it macerate (which is not a thing anyways), might make this scent last longer. I can confirm it doesn't work. I've had this sample for awhile and the lactonic mess didn't undergo a magic transformation. Really, skip this. It's not worth your time.
