J'ai L'air De Ce Que Je Suis J.R.

For a similar DNA done more punchy way way before, look for Kenzo Power (Olivier Polge) for men. The violet, nondescript florals, cardamom and possible nutmeg (though not listed) are spot on, creating a similar profile. This same profile reminds me of the very first Zara fragrance I owned back in the days, Zara Man 2000 (Alberto Morillas). This is a refined, not-in-your-face scent which I like due to positive associations, and even objectively speaking I think it's a classy formula and will surely test it further with a sample. Oh and not sure what those "bad longevity/performance" reviews are about, are you all using nostril-terrorizing florals and woody ambers? This has perfectly acceptable tenacity and longevity on both paper and skin, if you spray this perfume 2-3 times, I'm pretty sure I will smell it on you for at least 8 hours. What have expectations come to in these times...

I think this beauty is underrated. It is hard to describe, other than it's a beautiful combination of soft florals with a touch of spice, juicy citrus and very soft creamy base. I could pick up the citruses, soft spice, narcissus without even looking at the notes. Thought there are other soft florals but they are well blended. Very versatile, you can wear it to the office or on a date, and pretty much all year round. It is not a beast mode fragrance and doesn't last forever, but I don't get nose blind and it does stay with me for a few good hours. For the price I wouldn't mind having to refresh it throughout the day, especially that it is not headache inducing or overpowering upon spraying.

i absolutely adore this fragrance. i've tried this and sur tes levres and adored both, but this is definitely my favorite. it's a smooth, powdery floral that i think can work for both men and women. almost has elements of some blue fragrances in the opening with the grapefruit note, but it's embedded in these luscious, beautiful flowers. dries down so well, with a woody floral base that's iris heavy but not overly powdery or harsh. the iris certainly doesn't dominate in the way that it does in more masculine florals, and it makes for a lovely, sensual fragrance that i cannot stop smelling. unfortunately, the performance is a bit poor, but that's really my only gripe.

Delicate and comforting, easy and enjoyable to wear. The citrus is mildly sweet with no sharpness and the florals are subtle and well balanced. I reach for this whenever I just want something comfortable and calming and have been using it year round. Also I love the ergonomic design of the bottle and the heavy magnetic lid - very nice to use. Edited to add I’m finding this has good longevity on me, especially for an EDT. One of my favourites now.

I am not a floral perfume person but in real life I love lilac so I wanted to try this one. I also found the clementine to be an interesting addition & I love musk & sandalwood. Overall this is a really pretty scent for sure. Not cloying. It does have a soapy clean vibe & felt like a good after shower or before bed scent. You couldn’t offend anyone with this scent. I wouldn’t purchase for the cost because the longevity is lacking but enjoyed using up my sample.
