Accident à la Vanille by Jousset is a tribute to the versatility of vanilla, offering a modern and complex interpretation of this much-loved ingredient.
With each inhale, layers of vanilla are revealed, enriched by a creamy accord, like thick custard, and a freshly baked cookie accord, creating a buttery, enveloping effect. It is more than a perfume; it is a statement of identity and a reflection of a passion for gourmand and sophisticated aromas.
Accident à la Vanille is a parfum by Jousset Parfums signed by Jimmy Bodin, and was released in 2021. Jousset sums it up as the most literal vanilla, of cookie and butter: it is the top, heart, and base note, and what changes along the way is the texture, first creamy and finally toasted.
It should not be confused with Accident à la Vanille, Madeleine de Proust, the house version with peach, apricot, coconut, and sponge cake. If you want more, they are in the vanilla perfumes collection, and within Jousset, Le Gourmand goes for toastiness with chocolate cream.
How is it different from Accident à la Vanille, Madeleine de Proust?
Accident à la Vanille repeats the same note in all three stages, with one creamy accord and another cookie accord. Madeleine de Proust starts from the same idea but opens with peach and apricot, moves through coconut, and finishes with buttery madeleine: it’s the fruity version.
Is Accident à la Vanille a pure vanilla perfume?
Yes: it’s the top, heart, and base note. It doesn’t bring flowers or woods to the forefront; instead, it’s accompanied by a creamy accord and a cookie accord, which make it feel like a dessert. There’s more in the vanilla perfumes collection.
