Nice oud/gourmand blend
Sampling Jousset Parfums Gourmand Bakhoor Dehn Al Oud (a 2022 flanker to the original Gourmand Bakhoor from 2020 and its special edition, Crème de la Crème, released the same year), fittingly a rich mostly-gourmand but with a darker character and the addition of oud, even a slight animalic side, with notes of burnt caramel, oud, almonds / amaretto, honey, and cocoa. Its sweet side is quite sweet but is counter with the dark, resinous, semi-animalic oud. The sweetness definitely wins out overall.
In terms of quality and preference, I find it comparable to its Gourmand Bakhoor predecessors, neither significantly worse nor better, certainly worth trying for both fans of gourmands and oud, and I like the concept very much, of a gourmand-leaning oud, something in vaguely similar concept of Bojnokopoff by Fort & Manle, albeit with a less interesting overall mix. I like this, though.
It’s sold at Luckyscent and Sealed Essence in the US, in parfum concentration, at a price of $230-240 for 50ml, not bad pricing, but not cheap, either.
