Jake's House

This one was my gateway perfume! It lead me into the world of fragrance and niche perfumery - darnit Henry Rose, my bank account is suffering :) It is something I did not expect to like, as at that time, I thought I only liked vanilla-esque perfumes. This fragrance is quite simple. It smells like fresh water and freshly bloomed orange blossoms. I happened to take a trip to California right after I received a sample of this so was able to compare to the real blossoms on citrus trees. Wow, very realistic. This smells expensive and of quality. It smells casual and classy (the reviewer mentioning jeans & T shirt was bang on), like what I want to wear if I ever went on a sailing trip. Longevity is moderate, I get 6 hours of wear.

After owning test viles of all eight Henry Rose scents, my nose continues to return to Jake's House over and over again. It sits so beautifully on the skin and absolutely evokes happy, cheerful thoughts. It's the perfect balance of sweet and musky. I can see why it's the bestselling of all eight. I don't think there is a bad scent at all in the Henry Rose lineup. For those who suffer from allergies, you don't have to worry about a single thing! No headaches or migraines. I do wish they offered a 3.3-4 oz option at the current price of $120. Then a 1.7 oz option for half that. I do know they are offering small 8 ml spray viles soon! I think those will be quite popular. Happy spritzing, y'all! -Silky

This is my favorite perfume, along with Smyth by the same company! Both are beautiful!! Jake’s House is made of all my favorite things, like jasmine, orange blossom, musk and aquatic notes. Wonderful purity and quality :) In some ways, the Henry Rose perfumes remind me of scents that were popular during my childhood in the 90’s (perfumes were formulated a little cleaner then I believe, or so it seemed), but at the same time, they’re really modern. The brand was also created with health in mind, which means a lot to me, especially for daily use. As with any truly clean fragrance, I do reapply from time to time.

Here’s why I LOVE this scent: After the initial burst of water-stone, Jake’s House gives the cleanest shower-fresh white floral vibes. AND IT DOESN’T GET TOO SWEET. It also doesn’t get too ... cloying or annoying. It stays fresh fresh fresh. I had this last Spring/Summer and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on another bottle. It makes me feel like I’m sitting in a dappled English Garden - and that Elizabeth & Darcy will walk by at any moment. Very Austen. Highly recommend.

Jake's House is like an Herbal Essence scent from the vintage (good) shampoo bottle. That is the highest compliment because I loved that scent. At once, green grass and oranges, but not sweet, just True. In fact, one of the rare green-based scents Ive found NOT sweet. It is Divinely refreshing and playfully light. Any musk is tempered by the fresh water element in it also, which keeps this one light, airy. I will buy a bottle of this.

I tried all of the Henry Rose perfumes and felt like they were all too "perfumey". Don't know the technical term for this, but they smelled just like every other standard perfume. But this one stood out. It makes me nostalgic for a smell in my childhood. Maybe ladybluelady is right- its a familiar smell from an old shampoo? No clue, but I went from dismissing all of the HR perfumes, to actually putting this on my list of favorites.

This is BEAUTIFUL! I am a woman who loves Mugler Cologne and this is what I have been looking for ever since I discovered Mugler years ago. I have BEEN searching for another scent that smells like Mugler but has better longevity. This is the one! It not only smells like Mugler, but it is a tad sweet too. This may even replace my refills of Mugler moving forward. A real beauty. Highly recommend!

Easily my favorite of all the HR frags, and probably my favorite fragrance of all time. It's seriously smooth and musky; and a stunning interpretation of an aquatic orange blossom. I'm surprised it took me so long to start writing reviews. I've been collecting for over 30 years. I love HR and appreciate the ingredient transparency. This is an iconic fragrance, worthy of cult status. Perfection!

Such a gorgeous marine scent. Salty and a little floral thanks to the neroli. Perfect for splashing around in during the summer. If I didn’t live in Colorado (landlocked and arid), or rather, if I lived on the coast, I would wear this all summer long. For now, I’ll reserve this for coastal summer vacations. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s doing what it does beautifully.

I have to say this is a very fancy fragrance. If John Varvatos Artisan is middle class, then Jake's House is the elite (upper class) fragrance. They do smell similar and I've always wanted a longer lasting John Varv. Artisan and found this gem. Thank you Henry Rose! Y'all stay smelling clean and expensive. This is office-friendly and a pleasant one to smell everywhere.

This is my favorite out of the sample Henry Rose sample set. It is a beautiful balanced blend of sweetness, flowers, with some aquatic notes. It is not too sweet or too flowery. It is noticeable, yet subtle. It is something that can be worn almost anywhere throughout the year, unlike some of the other fragrances in this line.

I wore this for the first time yesterday and received a compliment. It had nice longevity compared to the other Henry Rose fragrances. It is a nice fresh and aquatic scent for spring/summer in the daytime. I wore it to work in a medical office setting.

This is a beautiful sweat neroli. Clean, fresh, classic, relaxed. Longer lasting then all the others in this category that I own. Great for vacation and work, none offensive. Jeans, white t and this, are perfect.

Ok now this is just lovellyyyyy. GOD this is like if you took the entire Celine line and made it into something I like. Perfect for summer. I think this and miss Dave are my fave

This is a bright, clean, musky fragrance with a light floral and honey note. This is gender neutral so both sexes can pull this off as a signature scent. I love it! Instantly!

Not for me, but extremely pleasant. I feel like this would be a hit with masc lesbians who want to embody the energy of "the coolest boy in high school at a pool party"

I love this. It's an aquatic without the calone and ambergris accords. It even has the metallic chlorine smell. Longevity and sillage could be better.

This fragrance is absolutely beautiful. Truly unisex in my opinion. Very fresh, clean, and captivating. Could be worn any day or night. Love.

I love this one, to me it smells like doing laundry in a dorm laundry room or laundromat and there's a bunch of overlapping soap scents

@sighra its a stunning scent and your review is miserable and inaccurate. Maybe don't say anything if you have nothing nice to say?
