THE REIGNING QUEEN OF APPLE PIE PERFUMES

I've been on a mission to find the perfect apple pie fragrance for fall, and along the way, I’ve tested the usual suspects. Oajan, Khamrah, La Danza delle Libellule, Angel’s Share, Ambre Narguilé, Ambre d'Alexandrie, and more. But nothing comes close to Jany. It’s the most realistic apple pie scent I’ve encountered, and it performs like a dream. While Rose All Dae is a strong contender, Jany takes the crown.

It captures every element of a freshly baked apple pie. The buttery, flaky crust, a drizzle of rich caramel, perfectly baked apples, and a dusting of warm cinnamon. The vanilla is sweet but never cloying, striking the right balance between indulgent and refined. A subtle floral nuance from osmanthus adds depth, though it leans into its natural peachy-apricot undertones rather than standing out as a distinct floral note.

The fragrance is heavy and concentrated; it needs time to settle on the skin, warming up before fully revealing its delicious layers. Be warned — Jany is potent. Overspraying can push it into candle or diffuser territory. I made that mistake, and suddenly, the warm, decadent apple pie aroma turned into something artificial, like those overpowering, cinnamon-laced air fresheners you find in grocery store aisles. So, go easy on the trigger.

This is a complex, well-crafted gourmand — a true apple pie masterpiece. The queen of apple pies.

And the award goes to... Jany!

Fall/winter candle

This smells very much like a baked apple pastry, however there's something (maybe in how the cinnamon, or perhaps the apricot, diffuses?) that makes this scent a little synthetic—like a candle or air freshener.

This is a pretty strong, heady gourmand scent in which all of the notes are very present. I got the fruit and puff pastry notes immediately, with the caramel and nuts coming a bit later. After a while, it settles as a non-descript sweet, spicy, and slightly musky scent.

I don't love or hate it—it's interesting. Just wish it didn't have a slight waxiness to it that makes it smell synthetic.

I want to eat myself, it smells that good.

This perfume is so interesting because it has so many layers to it. When you first spray it, you smell apple pie, cinnamon. A couple of seconds later you can feel the peach and apricot , the plum but the apple really compliments the olfactory palette in a unique and delicious way. After that it settles down and you feel warm, like you are in a cozy coffee shop eating an apple pie and that coziness that you feel inside gets interrupted by a small breeze whenever someone comes inside and brings a breeze of fresh and cold autumn air with some fruity and nutty notes. Amazing. I cannot stop smelling it. My boyfriend cannot stop smelling me. I’m happy
One important point: some people say that it smells like a cheap candle. I don’t get that at all. I’m in love with it. ️️️ If you are a gourmand type of perfume lover, I recommend you buy a small bottle ( you can try it out, buying 2 ml or 10 ml ) that way you don’t spend to much money and you can try it on. Enjoy

What a gourmand!

Jany has really convinced me.
For me, this fragrance is a wonderful gourmand that, in my opinion, could not be better designed.

It has often been associated with baked apple and yes, I can understand that. But it also has something super deliciously nutty, a vanilla that perfectly matches the nutty character and a fine cinnamon aroma.
A sweet puff pastry bag with a hint of marzipan is perhaps even better than a baked apple. However, both are definitely good associations.

It has this wonderfully sweet, warm character. It also has a pleasant wintry spiciness and a lovely creamy quality.
In my opinion, fruity impressions are only very subtle.

I find this fragrance super well balanced. In my opinion, it doesn't come across as disgustingly sweet or even too much. It just has a rounded effect on me.
On the other hand, I didn't really like the Italica from the Casamorati range by Xerjoff, for example, which is similarly gourmand. It always seemed too exaggerated and, above all, unrounded to me.

All in all, I can only say that you should definitely give this fragrance a try if you like sweet gourmands.

Awesome thing!

Johanna's apple pie

It wasn't that I didn't feel like visiting my great-grandmother - okay, maybe a little. As a child, you just don't think that meeting a 92-year-old lady is going to be the highlight of the day. But what can I say? The apple pie made up for it. More on that later.

It was one of only a few meetings with my great-grandmother Johanna, and also the last one, and the setting alone could have come from one of those films in which old family stories suddenly unfold into great ladies.

We met in deepest Bavaria in her apartment on the 12th floor of a high-rise building - a typical concrete block from a time when people thought big gray walls were the future. But the balcony? Breathtakingly beautiful! The view looked as if it had been painted for a postcard. Sunshine, mountains with snow on the peaks, forests below and lots of cows doing their thing.

My great-grandma was taciturn, almost a little intimidating. No affectionate chatter, no "Oh child, how big you've become.". She had that look on her face that people get when they've solved more problems in life than they've baked cakes. At least that's what I thought at the time.

Let's start at the beginning, before we even entered this legendary balcony, she dragged me into a store for traditional costume fashion that tailored and sold dirndls. I, a North German to the tips of my hair, have never been more of a tourist than in this place. My great-grandmother marched in, fixed a saleswoman with her penetrating gaze and less than 10 minutes later I was holding a dirndl in my hand. No one argued, no one asked if I wanted it. It was simply clear: I'm getting one now.

In the changing room, I tried to squeeze into the dress on my own. Somewhere - for whatever reason - there was still a pin in it and I stepped on it, barefoot. Ouch. Blood dripped onto the already red carpet (probably for that very reason) and I whimpered a little while Great-Grandma waited outside with her arms crossed. I showed her the sole of my bleeding foot and she shrugged her shoulders. "Yeah, so? It'll pass." No sympathy, no plaster. Instead: "Come on, we're having apple pie."

When we arrived at the apartment, the cake was already in the oven. She had prepared it before we had even set off, as if she had suspected that things would somehow escalate with me in this store. It smelled so heavenly, I would have voluntarily stayed with her for a week for that smell alone. Cinnamon, apple, butter, the perfect fragrance therapy.
With a wave of her hand, she gestured for me to sit down. "Eat!" she ordered as she finally placed the cake steaming on the table of her fabulous balcony.

And then we sat there, twelve stories up, in the middle of this gray skyscraper, yet floating above it all. The apple pie was dangerously good, it was a masterpiece. Juicy, soft, sweet and sour apples, perfectly distributed raisins, as if she had measured their distance with a ruler, a hint of caramel and a buttery base, crispy and soft at the same time. I'm not exaggerating, it was an absolute revelation.
I plucked up my courage and said: "This is the best apple pie I've ever eaten." She just raised an eyebrow, as if I had stated the obvious. No praise for her own baking skills, just a quick nod and a curt "the recipe is old."
That was it for conversation that day and we ate until the sun slowly set over the picturesque mountains and the lights came on in the small town.

That's how she was, great-grandma Johanna. Tough, taciturn, scary - but with an apple pie that made all words superfluous. Sometimes the best memories are on a plate.

I smell Jany and I'm there again: on this huge concrete block almost above the clouds, which even the bottle reminds me of, with a foot that hurts a little and a smile that I hid well back then, but was there nonetheless. I even interpret the name Jany as a version of Johanna, because it fits so nicely into the overall picture. Jany smells like steaming, warm apple pie. So real that it's hard to believe that it's just a scent and not a real cake. It's the most beautiful, authentic gourmand I've ever smelled. Almost too real.

The best apple pie of my life, captured in this perfume.
