Candy Shop.

Jimmy Bodin set out to bottle the joy of a childhood candy aisle, translating the bright chaos of sugary treats into a perfume. In 2025, Jousset Parfums released Candy Shop as a limited‑edition companion to the brand’s Summer Yummer launch, offering a unisex splash of citrus‑fruit exuberance wrapped in creamy vanilla. The French house’s patisserie‑inspired ethos guided the composition, pairing fresh lemon, lime and orange with pineapple, banana and peach before settling into a sugar‑vanilla cream base.

The juxtaposition of sharp citrus with tropical fruit creates a playful tension rarely heard in gourmand perfumery, where sweetness usually dominates. By leading with lemon, lime, orange and pineapple, the fragrance mimics the first bite of a tangy sherbet before the heart of banana and peach softens the edge. The final sugar‑vanilla cream anchors the composition, giving it the edible, patisserie feel that Jousset champions, while still feeling fresh enough for daytime wear.

The opening erupts like a handful of candy‑coated citrus drops, the lemon, lime and orange flashing sharp, while pineapple adds a juicy sparkle that catches the light on the skin. Within ten minutes the bright burst mellows as banana and peach glide in, turning the spray into a soft, sun‑kissed fruit salad that feels almost edible. As the heart settles, the sugar‑vanilla cream emerges, coating the pulse with a buttery sweetness that clings without overwhelming. The drydown lingers for six to eight hours, offering a moderate sillage that whispers rather than shouts, making it a perfect companion for a lazy afternoon or a weekend brunch.

The scent first appeared as a 15 ml gift with Summer Yummer, then earned a limited 50 ml release in July 2025 after fans clamored for more. Its playful sweetness quickly made it a summer staple among Jousset’s unisex fans, often cited in online chatter as the perfume that turns a casual day into a candy‑shop stroll.
