EDITORIAL“A Serious Look at Jousset Parfums Oh My Gourmand (OMG)”
The opening of Oh My Gourmand (OMG) is a surprising contrast of sharp fruit and heavy sugar. The first spray releases a bitter grapefruit and tart red currant, which immediately clashes with a warm vanilla background. It feels like eating a grapefruit slice in a warm bakery. This zesty brightness prevents the opening from feeling completely suffocating, though it fades within fifteen minutes.
As the citrus departs, the heart reveals its true dessert identity. Thick custard and sweet meringue take over, creating a creamy texture on the skin. The vanilla here is rich and heavy, smelling like warm cake batter. It is sweet, but the texture remains smooth rather than cloying, mimicking a fresh pastry cream.
In the dry-down, the fragrance settles into its base of butter cookies and rice powder. The butter note is highly realistic, giving the scent a savory richness. Orris root adds a dry, clean powderiness that prevents the cookie accord from melting into pure grease. This phase lingers the longest, leaving a cozy trail of baked sugar.
Performance is impressive, lasting easily through a full day of wear. The sillage projects strongly for the first few hours, meaning you will be noticed in close quarters. It performs best in dry, cold weather, as high humidity can make the buttery elements feel a bit too thick on the skin.
This is not a safe choice for those who prefer clean, woody, or light floral scents. It is designed specifically for people who want to smell exactly like a tray of baked goods. If you enjoy soft skin scents, this sweet custard cloud will likely overwhelm your senses.
While it is a fun and well-crafted release, you must love heavy sweetness to enjoy it. The buttery aspect can sometimes feel a bit heavy on warm skin, so we suggest testing a sample first. For those who want a true bakery scent, it is an excellent addition to a winter collection.
