Jours Heureux

I adore all of the exquisite fragrances from Bienaimé! This French perfume house dates back to 1935 and was resurrected in 2021 along with four of their original fragrances. I ordered a sample kit from their website (shipped to me in the U.S.) I will be reviewing each of the four fragrances... JOURS HEUREUX: Powder puff delight! I adore this scent!! It is so similar to Teint de Neige, which is my all-time favorite powdery fragrance. Fluffy and comforting almond, vanilla, white musk, and tonka bean mingle with the floral charm of carnation, violet, geranium, and rose to envelop with a scent bubble that makes me think of the clouds in heaven! It also reminds me slightly of Francesca Bianchi's Angel's Dust, but without the "skanky" notes that turn many off. While Teint de Neige is a snowy and crisp powder, and Angel's Dust is warm and sensual; Jours Heureux embodies the best of both of these beloved fragrances. Silage and longevity are excellent. Highly recommended! THE PACKAGING: The beautiful bottles reflect Bienaimé's original Art Deco spirit and are reusable and recyclable. Refills are available for purchase, making these treasures a very reasonably priced luxury. FROM THEIR WEBSITE: Through the rebirth of the brand Bienaimé, the idea is to perpetuate the wonder of these timelessly charming beauty treasures and create a sensory experience that evokes emotion, that of a sweet nostalgia. Dreamlike and poetic universe Bienaimé is an ode to the memories of the past and an immersion into the heart of eternal beauty. I couldn't agree more! IN SUMMARY: This perfume house is a treasure!! I highly recommend ordering a sample kit... the price is deducted upon the purchase of a perfume! Even the packaging of the kit is exceptional, and it comes with a darling pink and white striped cloth pouch that is perfect for travel. I want one of each of these exquisite fragrances in my collection! But if I must choose one, La Vie en Fleurs is my favorite.

Damn. This perfume is the absolute vixen of “wait until I’m ready” and a lesson on always waiting before scrubbing. I’ll admit when I first sprayed this, I didn’t like it! Pure powder and violet, I got none of the light sweetness or creaminess others mentioned, until I gave her an hour to adjust her lipstick and finger her curls. The almond has broken through, soft, elegant, vintage without being dated. Powdered make up though and through but better. Sweeter, creamier, gentler and a lot fresher. Pure, powdery refinement. I can’t say more than what anyone else has said. Just encouraging others not to be started at first, the notes kick in after around 45min on me. Projection and longevity are average which is perfect. This is not a scent that should be too loud (crazy as I’m a bit of a projection nut, maybe I’m changing?) Speaking of change, this perfume represents a better version of myself. Refined, put together, strong but kind. This perfume is literally the only thing I’ve smelt that makes me want to be a better person so I’m worthy of wearing it.

Finally tested this today, I have been waiting to try for so long as someone has voted this fragrance reminds them of Chloe, Love the modern powdery masterpiece but sadly discontinued... Tried today, on the test strip it didn’t remind me of Love Chloe that much but they do belong to the same vibe soft clean and powdery, but when I sprayed on my skin OMG it reminds me 85% Chloe, Love my body chemistry tends to pull of very musky with every fragrances, this also turns musky and powdery on my skin which is VERY similar with Chloe love omg🥹 I immediately bought it, I’m so happy that I finally found a similar vibes alternative! Nanshe from Nishane is very close but not as close as this, hope they won’t discontinue this little gem. Btw this house is a hidden gem! It’s designed for people who appreciate kinda vintage powdery vibes/ musky / tender / soft fragrances. I really like the 4 new interpretation from their old collection ! EDIT: sprayed this to work today my colleague thought it’s Chloe Love! She was shocked that this is another fragrance!

This is so beautiful. Vintage, powdery, floral, gourmand. It might sounds familiar. There's nothing revolutionary in there but it's very well made. You need to love marzipan. I can fully detect the note. Staying power is surprisingly good for such a delicate scent. I don't know how someone could dislike such an angelic scent. I'm also sure it's a male magnet. If I were a man smelling that on a cute girl I'd fall in love I think. I blind bought and had to pay extra fees for the shipping from France but so far it was totally worth it. 100%. I'm gonna look forward buying La Vie En Fleurs now... Great job Bienaimé. Top quality perfumes with a "French touch" at a reasonable price (well, for niche perfumery) still exist in 2023.

I received this as a sample in another fragrance order and so happy this landed in my sample pack. I was not expecting a powder bomb when I took my first sniff, but knew I couldn’t wait to give it a try. When I finally gave it a wear it was very impressed. This is ultra powdery, creamy, clean and so comforting. Smooth and so well blended, never cloying or offensive. I would wear this year round at any time of the day. Totally smitten with this vintage style fragrance and can’t wait for my full bottle to arrive. I just ordered a discovery set from this house and so excited to see what else they offer.
