Jousset Parfums

Jousset Parfums was founded in 2020 and is based in Switzerland, with French co‑founder and in‑house perfumer Jimmy Bodin at the creative helm alongside his wife Melis. In a blog post on the brand’s site, Bodin explains that the name "Jousset" is taken from his late mother’s surname and that his modest upbringing and parents’ influence shaped his work ethic and love of luxurious perfume. The brand describes its beginnings as literally filling bottles with a syringe in a tiny room, emphasizing a small‑scale, hands‑on start rather than an industrial launch.

From the outset, Jousset Parfums has focused on what it calls Ultra‑Gourmand fragrances, strongly inspired by French desserts that Bodin missed after moving to Switzerland. The brand’s own materials highlight Gourmand Bakhoor as a pivotal release that helped establish its reputation in gourmand perfumery, and its catalog has expanded since 2020 to dozens of perfumes documented on Parfumo and Fragrantica. The house is particularly associated with high‑impact edible themes such as coffee, ice cream, pistachio and caramel, seen in fragrances like Qahua Bunga and Ciao Bello Pistachio.

In interviews and brand essays, Bodin stresses that he develops scents he could not find on the market even after extensive sampling, with a stated focus on strong sillage and longevity achieved through careful formula design and quality materials. The brand’s "A Bite of Us" manifesto rejects romanticized sourcing stories, positioning Jousset as a perfumery that is upfront about its laboratory work and its goal of creating direct, instinctive, dessert‑driven compositions that appeal especially to gourmand enthusiasts.
