Beautiful Accident

A magnificent and notable vanilla. One of the best I've smelled if I'm to be completely honest. Soft, yet somewhat dense. Projection and sillage are decent, which is always a plus. Vanilla in its natural form without enhancements tends to be very soft and doesn't lift off the skin much, so kudos to perfumer Jimmy Bodin. Accident À La Vanille is very gourmand, but in the most sophisticated manner. A beautiful Accident, so to speak. As another reviewer stated "buttery", warm, intimate and quite sultry. For true vanilla lovers. I am not one to instantly think up a fragrance reminiscent of the one I'm reviewing, but there are 2 that come to mind. Hypnotic Poison, without the almond note but I was mostly reminded of Philosophy's "Fresh Cream" with a touch of sandalwood. Jousset's quality is obviously much more elevated than Philosophy, but to my nose it's in the olfactory family. Vanilla is often dependent on tonka bean. Styrax was a great choice of notes to accentuate this fragrance. If you enjoy an unapologetic vanilla, this is a safe blind buy if you're unable to acquire a sample.

The Perfect Sugar Cookie Vanilla!

Oh, yes, this is a gourmand lover's dream! Accident a la Vanille is a delicious, creamy vanilla with a caramelized accord. Smells like straight up sugar cookies!! I have personally found it hard to find true gourmands outside of Indie perfume brands but Jousset really knocked it out of the park with this perfume! If I spray some on after my shower at night I can still smell it when I wake up in the morning. The bottle is not the most luxurious bottle I have ever seen as it seems to be a little cheap feeling but the sprayer on this perfume is so fine and disperses the perfume so well, and I was really surprised! I don't really pay attention to the way a perfume sprays but this one is so nice that it caught my attention. If you are a gourmand vanilla lover, and I do mean sweet vanilla, I think this is a good option to try. I would say it's comparable to Maison Mataha's Escapade Gourmande since it kind of has that creme brulee feel to it, but they are not exact dupes. I highly recommend both!

Edit: Pair this with Kyse Delizia Di Marshmallow and thank me later.

Nicely done vanilla - creamy, a bit cake/cookie-like

Jousset Parfums Accident a la Vanille (translated on the house website as “Vanilla Crash”) is from 2021, and has since spawned a few flankers, but this original smells of rich vanilla somewhere between cake/icing and ice cream—sugary but more so creamy, dense and deep, quite interesting while communicating a familiar and relatable experience of in-your-face, fragrant vanilla that conjures desserts. The note listing only involves vanilla, sandalwood, and styrax, with the latter two to round things out and provide some structure, boundaries to this otherwise pure gourmand.

I find AALV very easy to enjoy, perhaps easy to love, even, but it’s a little cake-ish to be in the uppermost echelon of vanilla fragrances, at least for me, based on my preferences, but it’s interesting and sumptuous enough that vanilla lovers should definitely try this, and I think it makes a pleasant add-on to any sample order from one of the retailers that carries it. Very nicely done, and I’m happy to continue sample this house after a couple of years.

It’s sold in the US by Luckyscent and Sealed Essence at $155-165 for 50ml, in extrait concentration, and performs very well.

Weak vanille

I'm surprised to see that there are quite a few good duration and silage ratings over there for this fragrance.
In my case I will say that less than half of a standard niche, being someone who can have lastings of 6-8 hours with many perfumes and 12 hours with recognised "bombs" like everyone else ... that is, "normal" that is not that my skin devours the perfumes.
Well, this has lasted close to the skin for a couple of hours and without any silage, just a few minutes and I have applied one milliliter perfectly, all over my neck and hands. Performance none.

As for the smell, it is a vanilla that will have sandalwood and styrax combined in such a way that they smell like hazelnuts with vanilla with a liquor/alcoholic point at some point.
At a price below € 3 / ml and in a niche context, it is not expensive ... but considering the performance, for me it becomes prohibitive to wear this.

Revitalized vanilla

After the vanilla had a synthetic accident, she had to be resuscitated by the emergency doctor in the dry down. But she survived and is now well again.

The first spray smells extremely synthetic, just like a perfume accident where the wrong fragrance has accidentally fallen into the bottle. After 1-2 minutes, the synthetics fade and what remains is a creamy, sweet vanilla that has innocently snuck out of the limelight. I like the vanilla accident, because luckily the vanilla came out unscathed.

Unfortunately, the vanilla probably has an avoidant personality. It ghosted me after 2-3 hours.
