Imperatrice Eugenie

I have this bottle pictured. Its a 1989-early 2000s bottle before the 2nd entry into the database under Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie. Compared to my modern bottle in 2016, it hasnt changed all that much only this formulation is a little more richer and analog. Its perplexing to me that Aventus can vary wildly according to its enthusiasts where JIE has been something of the most consistently preserved from the line..begging the question ..are the fanboys merely reacting to aging bottles? In JIE 's case..its well preserved in its modern formulation so to dive back into its vintage (89) isnt necessary. I dont think its like no5 cologne as that ran much more muskier with its civet base and JIE uses an ambergris base. The sandalwood and vanilla is still the driving force behind JIE. I find this very comforting for bedtime. Try it.dont let all the dubious reviewers scare you away that this is an old lady frag...it isnt.

My husband finds this absolutely ravishing on me, which makes me smile after reading reviews that say that this is an "Old Lady" scent. I'm a young lady, and my husband is also young, but maybe we're just into "retro" . For us, this is HOT! Yes, it's old-fashioned, but I imagine that falling into jasmine-scented petticoats and silk skirts must have been pretty sexy, and not old-ladyish in the slightest. When I wear this, my husband can't keep his hands off me, and I get nothing but compliments. I also look like a lady, but know that there's a grande horizontale within me waiting to get out at the end of the day.

I love this one , the Jasmin comes through strongly. I am never afraid to be considered an old lady . I am 54 and I am often treated as one possibly because I have white hair. I do like some perfumes that are old but since when has "historical" been bad. In fact I prefer heavy florals to things that smell like you should cook with them as many "trendy" modern ones do.

I have this bottle with a much darker juice. This is extremely jasmin forward. Strong, potent, floral fragrance with a smooth and creamy base. This projects like crazy, genuinely insanely strong. Two little sprays on my arm and that thing has been frying my nostrils for hours.. Love it.

Fragrance Review For Imperatice Eugenie Creed Notes: Bergamot Lemon Jasmine Rose Amber Sandalwood Vanilla I wonder if the notes are listed correctly. There's got to be iris in this. It's a beautiful powdery rose and vanilla scent but in my experience when a fragrance turns very powdery it has rose and iris notes. This is a sweet soft floral, unmistakably feminine. There could also be an opening of the tiniest softest aldehydes but it could be fresh bergamot and lemon. It's very fresh at the beginning. The heart is floral with rose and jasmine. I do agree with the reviewer that compared this to scents like Chanel No. 5 and Ombre Rose. It's powdery, floral, and old fashioned. The dry down is the best part as I can smell the sandalwood and amber. I would have to say that this scent is mature not old lady mature but for a woman who has experience putting on different types of scents and this one has a very vintage type of feel. It's also quite simple, not linear, but not heavy and not very complex. It's a simple floral with sandalwood. Sweet and lovely. It's very expensive however so be sure you test it or buy a vial to sample it before making the decision to actually buy it. There are some better Creed scents out there but I do love how powdery and rose-scented this fragrance becomes.
