Delicious Black Powder

Delicious Black Powder recalls the smell of a pastry kitchen where deep cocoa and sweet notes meet an almost smoky warmth. The mood is that of a rich, intense dessert, like a powerful dark chocolate dusted with sugar and spice.

The fragrance opens on a gourmand sweetness, instantly marked by a dark, almost powdery depth. Little by little it grows richer and rounder, revealing warm, slightly smoky nuances that give the gourmand side real character. Over time, the composition warms up and turns more velvety, leaving a sweet yet intense sillage, like a dark chocolate pastry still warm from the oven.

The result is a gourmand perfume with a mysterious streak, where sugary sweetness meets a darker, addictive depth.

Jousset Parfums is a French niche perfume house founded in 2020 by Jimmy Bodin and his partner Melis in their flat in Switzerland, in small handmade batches first shared with friends and family. The brand bears the name of Jimmy’s late mother, who passed on her love of fine fragrance and whose passion he has carried as a legacy. His father taught him something else: that everything is built with your own hands. Those two legacies sit at the heart of what Jousset makes. Jimmy Bodin is self-taught. No academic training, no time spent at a classic house. His method is one of instinct, precision through repeated trials and total honesty about what he loves. And what he loves are fragrances you almost feel you could taste. He named his signature Ultra-Gourmand™, a category he invented and that is entirely his own. Where classic gourmands often stay in a generic sweet register, Jousset’s Ultra-Gourmand is built like an oud perfume: layer after layer, material upon material, sweetness balanced by depth. Accident À La Vanille, La Tarte Tatin, Gourmand Bakhoor, Ciao Bello Pistachio: each creation recreates a precise, almost edible memory, at a concentration well above market standards. Since 2023, production has moved back to France, to an independent workshop in La Mézière, in Brittany, Jimmy’s home town. A brand built from nothing, by hand, that has made its way into 60 boutiques across 12 countries in under five years.
