Peanut-butter-added, sweet improvement on the original
Sampling Jousset Parfums – Gourmand Bakhoor (Special Edition, also called Crème de la Crème), and like the original Gourmand Bakhoor, the SE is a delightfully dense and rich (and aptly-named) mix of caramel, vanilla, and bready/doughy accords, with some incense, and in this version, peanut butter and a more general nuttiness. It’s a bit denser but also better rounded, with the peanut butter provided some bass to the treble, the qualities of the original that were a little too over-the-top saccharine. It is a gourmand lover’s gourmand, and quite indulgent, while again feeling a little bit more balanced and well-conceived than the original.
The Special Edition of Gourmand Bakhoor is only sold domestically via Sealed Essence (out of Massachusetts), from what I can tell, and is priced at a higher $120 for 50ml (vs. the original’s $95 for 50ml), still in extrait concentration.
For me, while an improvement on the original and quite nice, it’s nevertheless a “like” not a “love” but surely worth trying, especially for gourmand fans.
