La Tarte Tatin imagines the warm smell of a pastry kitchen where apples cook slowly in sugar and butter, giving off a sweet, comforting aroma.

The fragrance opens on a fruity sweetness that instantly recalls soft, melting apples. Caramelised sugar and pastry notes soon follow, giving the impression of a tart fresh from the oven. As time passes, the composition turns warmer and rounder, leaving a gourmand, lightly buttery sillage that recalls the melting texture of a tarte Tatin still warm from the oven.

The whole creates a deeply gourmand, comforting fragrance, like a traditional dessert shared in a simple, heartwarming moment.

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.
