Jacinthe Et Rose

I wish my grandmother had smelled like this, rather than her usual Opium. Jacinthe et Rose just smells beautiful. Amazingly well crafted, even my fragrance consuming skin isn't able to subdue this fragrance but it's not overpowering and choking. Often, my skin will amplify musks and woods but I don't find that the case here, while not creating a come hither and you won't be disappointed fragrance, they balance it and give it intense feminine attraction. An innocent sensuality that blossoms into full womanhood without trying too hard, confident, elegant but playful. This is definitely not a trendy fragrance, this is timeless and combines the best of past and present. I think what I like best of Jacinthe et Rose is that it takes on different characters, such as green or floral, without being distracting and a side show. It breezes along displaying different aspects as if you are walking through a lovely path of masterfully landscaped gardens along the meadows and woods, one gracefully transitioning into another. I would liken this one to a Guerlain style, without the Guerlainade base that makes it so distinctive, separating it away from what you may need a change from or does not work for your skin chemistry. This is what I so often want my Aqua Allegoria fragrances to be and don't quite get. The florals remind me of Van Cleef & Arpel Feerie but much more satin and velvet aura around you. Thank you, S. for sharing this with me, you hit the bullseye perfectly, this one is just gorgeous and your talent and heart make you a true Fragrantican master. Tanan vaga! Now, I need to find a full bottle somewhere....

This is lovely. I would classify it as a floral aldehyde. It starts out as a sharp soft rose then sweetens and gets powdery. I imagine there is iris in here. It is a very springlike rose with no jam, no sharpness, no dry moldering petals, no sourness. Then it morphs into other flowers, including the hyacinth and peony with the ylang probably acting as the sweetener but indistinct. Then, it get seriously musky. That passes and you end up with a soft floral musk with some nuances of sandalwood and a tad of vetiver to keep it from being cloying. I did overspray this because it seemed light at first but it is a complex floral. I gave myself a little headache in the car. But, I love this. I am a rose lover and found this to be a unique rose scent unlike my others. In the base and final drydown it is ALL MUSK. Yummy and wonderful.

Jacinthe Et Rose is beautiful, it really is! as its name suggests, it's all about dewy hyacinth and rose. I remember i sprayed it for the first time and decided it's good. but just not good enough for me, lol. then at home I'd open my wardrobe and for days it was filled with this alluring and intoxicating smell. Of course i went back and bought it :) Even though it's floral and green, Jacinthe Et Rose is so perfect for... the end of winter! It's still cold but you already foretaste the sun, the warm breeze, white wine on the deck)) and all other good stuff that brings you nice weather.

It is not what you'd call 'sexy' or modern but rather lovely and romantic and gives you a feeling of being bathed in softness. Not too sweet either. I bought it when I was Paris in a department store and again when I went back the next time a couple of years later. If you really want something special, buy the body cream as well - it is delicious and stays on my skin well.
