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.

Niche duping Body Mists??

Baked apple and puff pastry? On paper this should be my end game. Naturally, I was sold. Instant sample.

But thank god for decanting services, because this was another letdown on what’s becoming a losing streak of stinkers. And unfortunately, this train isn’t stopping at Jany station.

The opening is instant apples and cinnamon. Amazing. But if you’ve smelled that combo once, you’ve smelled it a hundred times. It’s not bad, just uninspired and overdone at this point. Khamrah, Angels Share, hell, even Bath and Body Works is doing it. Then this part fades and things take a turn.

What’s left? A synthetic caramel-nut vibe that gave me major Cheirosa 62 vibes. I don’t like Cheirosa 62 or this scent for that matter. But Cheirosa 62 is like, what, $25? Meanwhile, Jany is $220 for 50ml. For a scent that smells basically identical.

If you’re a huge fan of this scent but have never smelled the Sol de Janeiro, just grab that one. Save yourself a couple hundred bucks and skip this.

That said, as always, this is how it wore on my skin. Yours might be a completely different experience.

almond apple pie!

I saw Jany for the first time at Jovoy perfumery in Paris and i was really excited to try it because i had heard it was similar to Angels share and sugar leather. But when i tried it the scent wass so much better. It had that amazing apple pie DNA but the smooth almond similar to a pastry i used to eat as a child immproved this scent greatly! Jany lasts about 10 hours on skin so thats really good. Beautiful bottle with the stone cap also! would recommend this to any gourmand lover!

Walmart Scented Candle

I think this approximates the idea of an apple pie scented Walmart candle more than actual apple pie. Indeed, the smell of baked apples and buttery dough is very authentic and intoxicating, but these sensations are accompanied by something extremely synthetic, which brings to mind melting wax. And at this moment, everything becomes very overwhelming and unpleasant: it's way too sweet, it emanates way too strongly, and I have the same revelation that I had with many coffee-based perfumes: I like them more on paper or in the air than on my skin. But here is also the problem that the perfume is too sugary and too heavy.

I also compared it with "Casamorati - Italica | XerJoff" since I have samples of both, and I can say that the resemblance is only superficial. Italica is much airier, evolves with much more grace and is not like a diabetic baseball bat striking you in the nose. It's like comparing Grace Kelly to Pamela Anderson: one was a beautiful woman with class and style, the other, plastic.

Hmm, mulți zic plăcintă cu mere, dar nasul meu spune "Nu, nu, nu! Lumânare parfumată de la Walmart. Mda." Într-adevăr, mirosul de mere coapte și aluat bogat în unt este foarte autentic și îmbătător, dar aceste senzații sunt acompaniate de ceva extrem de sintetic, care aduce a ceară de lumânare topită. Si în momentul acela, totul devine foarte copleșitor și neplăcut: e mult prea dulce, emana mult prea puternic, și am aceeași revelație pe care am avut-o cu multe parfumuri bazate pe cafea: îmi plac mai mult pe hârtie sau în aer decât pe pielea mea. Dar aici este și problema că e mult prea zaharos parfumul și e prea greoi.

L-am comparat și cu "Casamorati - Italica | XerJoff", că am ambele mostre și pot spune că asemănarea este doar superficială. Italica este mult mai aerisit, evoluează cu mult mai multă grație și subtilitate, nu este ca o bâtă dulce îmbâcsită peste nas. E ca si cum ai compara Grace Kelly cu Pamela Anderson: una a fost o femeie frumoasă cu clasă si stil, cealaltă, plastic.
