JCB No.13

Olivia Giacobetti calls VIN BLANC No.13 "divine and refined", a fragrance inspired by white wine. Bitter orange possibly for garnish (not listed on the note list, but that's the element I actually felt), giving the balsam an airy, airy feel, not only moderately thinning the frankincense, frankincense that should be in the base, Benzoin. This is suitable for savoring and observing the change process of the aroma on the skin. When the sweet and mellow vanilla is combined with the characteristics of different woods such as rosewood, oak, and sandalwood, the boundary of the entire three notes is blurred. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I smell cedar, which definitely continues the verdure of the bitter orange in the top note and brings it into the base note. The scent is round and the overall development is linear.

Disclaimer: This particular fragrance is a part of my personal collection, my experience with it is extensive. A Quietly Stunning Fragrance This one feels like a treasure in my collection, a perfect reflection of Olivia Giacobetti’s unique style. It’s refined, understated, and endlessly beautiful. The opening greets you with a soft, smoky touch—like the scent of expensive wood burning gently in the background, wrapped in a delicate layer of incense. As it settles, the magic happens: it turns creamy and slightly sweet, with sandalwood and vanilla adding warmth and softness. It feels smooth, comforting, and just a little indulgent. What I love most is how close it stays to the skin. It doesn’t shout—it’s the kind of scent you wear for yourself or for someone lucky enough to be near you, it’s a quiet luxury, a scent that lingers intimately, leaving an impression without ever raising its voice. Perfect for nights when you’re dressed up or moments when you want to feel effortlessly elegant without being flashy. This house doesn’t get the attention it deserves, and I’m excited to explore more from them. If the rest are even close to this, I’d happily add them all to my shelf. A solid 9/10. Not an everyday fragrance, but a true masterpiece for the right occasion.
