Sombres Dessins

Sombres Dessins is a burnished etude in the key of sandalwood. Sandalwood can be quite dry and stark, but here the supporting accords complement it beautifully. The bergamot and pink pepper are quite at the fore in the opening and quickly step back from the limelight. The middle notes each have a presence, but they are team players and no one really elbows the others out of the way. The patchouli, olibanum, and rum step up to the plate to support the star of the show, and again they balance the sandalwood nicely. Jovoy Paris has taken dry sandalwood and enriched it with a complementary array of accords that together are a glory. This is an interesting, opulent fragrance, well suited to woman or man. Oscar Wilde would have worn this. Very bohemian, very rich, with an elegant wit. I want to be seduced by someone wearing this. This goes on my WANT list. Exotic, incense-like accords are right in my wheelhouse, and this fits snugly in a gap I was not aware existed.

One of the best new collection of jovoy with balsamic woody scents. This is one of the most beautiful sandalwood and rose base fragrance i have ever smelled. it starts with bergamot and pink pepper(top note) and then I can smell patchouli and saffron on the middle note. On the base note you can feel a little bit saffron. Patchouli scent has got very neutral scent. After 2 hours you can feel a bit bergamot scent. It is a good perfume for fall/winter. It is a unisex perfume. Sillage and staying power is also very good.

Nice, a bit boozy, and fled away while I was still trying to discern the notes. Lol. Second Jovoy I tried and both of them are so fleeting on my skin. On clothing, I guess Calvini below more or less described it all quite nicely already. Very interesting that somehow I fell for this. Lovely indeed.

Really like it. Starts off smoky then dries done to this super sexy drydown. Notice a light floral/amber/wood in the background that is very intriguing. A sexy ambiguous strange. Very unisex and love it.

Smells like dry, spicy and somewhat medicinal sandalwood. Quiet dusty with lots of spicy/herbal aspects. Rose gives a bit of sweetness (like a dried and crushed rose petals). It’s very unique and interesting, and I believe it can be a comforting scent. Follow me on IG: scent.guide
