Silk Ribbons

The juice in my bottle is rather pink and the bottle is missing the cap, so it’s entirely possible mine has changed a bunch over time. It arrived in a lot of other perfumes, and I wasn’t at all interested in it until I tried it. Whoa, is it delectable!! The opening is Kir Royale and the drydown is a very smooth and sophisticated vanilla. When I wear it, I want to go to a black tie function, mingle, chat and have bubbly. A much more adult scent than the notes would suggest. I don’t get any lily of the valley. **So, today on my 6th wear or so, the lily of the valley came through rather prominently and was lovely. Can’t get over how much I love this scent — typically this style of fragrance is too sweet for me.

This fragrance is NOT gourmand and is not all of the notes listed. It is not terribly sweet at all compared to the other florals from the house. It goes on amber, not vanilla. There is a big amber component overlaying florals but they do not smell LOTV dominant. There's iris in here for a powdery quality and a slightly bitter note that may be oakmoss but seems more like vetiver. It keeps it from veering sweet. The raspberry is there as in vintages but not in ANY fruity way whatsoever. I like it second best of this house after the original JM. Lovely.

I find it hard to believe there's no musk in the base. First impression was actual silk ribbons in the fabric store. Maybe that was purely psychosomatic, but there's definitely a "new textiles" scent, and I'm finding it often correlates with white musk in a perfume composition. The raspberry is right there at the fabric cutting table, enjoying an equal partnership with the silk-satin abstract, thus avoiding the candylike tendencies we often ascribe to fruity scents.

I can't describe just how lovely, this Fragrance is. It's like your skin, but sooo much better. It's slightly warm, musky, and floral, but sooo smooth. This stuff is so beautiful on skin! Criminally underated.

Has a Coca Cola vibe at first spray then it morphs into raspberry soda. It's not an overbearing scent but has a meek rather quiet disposition yet you know it's there.

Really pretty feminine scent. Soft musk, sandalwood and raspberry. I realize notes are not listed here, but It looks like there's more... Very delicate girly perfume. I love it! Its light and wearable anytime. Lasts and lingers close to skin, leaves a soft trail. Got lots of compliments wearing this. Can be a bride scent, as JM's bridal gowns line is relatable.

The lily of the valley is a bit green for the first half hour for me (I dont like green at all) but as that fades the berries and vanilla become more prominent and I really like it. The LOTV keeps a fresh floral aspect that balances the sweetness. Sillage is low to skin but it does last a good 4 to 5 hours on me.

This is an absolutely gorgeous smelling perfume opening notes. I haven't let it dry down, and haven't tested staying power, but I want a bottle so bad, it was love at first sniff. Oh my god, wow!

Silk Ribbons is a sweet flanker for Jessica McClintock's ever popular and beloved debut fragrance Jessica McClintock. First one beats it of course. But this one's pretty nice too. It's a sweeter girly raspberry and vanilla scent and less flowery than McClintock. One could see it as mommy-daughter perfume set. McClintock is mother's perfume and Silk Ribbons is the little girl's perfume. It has an innocent air about it, sweet, unpretentious, simple and very cute. If you like vanilla and raspberry there's plenty of it for you to enjoy in this fragrance. It's a gourmand frag with a candy like sweetness. The lily of the valley is the weakest of the notes although I can get a whiff of it deep down in there. It's a tiny white floral note that drowns in the vanilla. But it's there. This is lovely but it doesn't last very long so you have to keep reapplying. I wear this to children's parties because the children hug me and they do not get hit by either too many flowers, patchouli, woods or other bigger notes. This is a very pretty raspberry vanilla which everyone loves on me.

Silk Ribbons for me was a surprising delight. I went with a friend searching for her favourite, Number 3, which she absolutely thought would suit me.....much to her disgust and mine it didn't....smelled immediately sour upon first contact with my skin. However a single spritz of Silk Ribbons and I was enraptured. This very soft, floral (on me I smell lily of the valley and slight vanilla - not fruity at all) is eloquent yet unobtrusive, a very ladylike fragrance - soft yet definite, reserved but with presence. In short, a rare find.

Found a small bottle at a thrift shop. I used to be a floral perfume lover years ago but now I really don't love florals as much. This isn't a strong floral at all. As it dries down it is really nice. It almost has a smoky or dusty dry down in a vanilla base, if that makes sense. There is some floral but it is not overpowering. This is pretty elegant and nice. Once this small bottle is gone I may have to get a bigger bottle...

On first impression, it was like Lalique "Lalique", only creamier and with some raspberry. Then the whole aroma became like a wedding cake. Now I think it resembles a watered down version of Flowerbomb. Ok, a reeeaaally watered down version of Flowerbomb. Still, it's an appealing construction. I wouldn't call it original, but it is not generic either. Easily likeable, and able to become somebody's signature scent.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL SCENT!!! One of my top ten signature scents. It smells like sweet leather and makes a wake of sweet scent when you leave a room, you can still smell it! This lasts a long long time too. Just intoxicating!

wow, this perfume smells like Lanvin Arpege minus the cloying factor, and a certain off putting note in Arpege I really do not like. Silk Ribbons is very soft and feminine and elegant smelling. I really like it
