Jousset Parfums Accident À La Vanille Madeleine de Proust Extrait
Jousset Parfums Accident À La Vanille Madeleine de Proust Extrait
Description
Madeleine de Proust is a warm, buttery madeleine filled with peach jam and dusted with coconut. Released in 2022 by Jousset Parfums and composed by Jimmy Bodin, it is a variation on the house's Accident à la Vanille. In French, a “madeleine de Proust” is anything that suddenly brings back a memory, after the famous passage in Proust. Peach and apricot open it, grated coconut softens the heart, and butter, biscuit and vanilla make the base. Retail reviewers call it rich and sweet, a comforting bakery scent with fruit running through it.
