Citizen Queen

~ The Lady in White ~ A piece of white lace, unfolded through the corridor, is fading around the corner into another room. Resting on the ground, it's mysterious smell calls to trace it down. A beautiful woman wearing a white off-shoulder dress with lace details is peacefully laying in her casket. Her skin pale and soft as a snow blanket, her hair black as the dead of the night. The blue Moon's shine enters the space, caressing her chest and bare shoulders. Her last sweet words, unspoken, hanging on her luscious lips. In her deep sleep she combs her long hair with her thin fingers. Her sharp nails are weaving the path, guiding you through the long dark night and onto the soft, clean white blanket. -Is it a dream?- You ask yourself. She is luring you into her embrace. Her skin scent emits an exotic mix of flowers sunk in sweetness, like summer warmth with a backbone of dirty indoles accompanied by the cooling breeze. So irresistible, that it makes you want to sink into her skin and breath her in deeply. Perfectly balanced so you become deaf and blind enough to stay close for just the right amount of time. The only thing you're left with is to follow your nose. An intoxicating vertigo of emotions and smells buried deep into a loving embrace, pierces your heart, sealed with a sharp kiss. Once the spinning is over, it's safe to say that you've experienced both life and death and surprisingly, got the best out of it. Because she is after all, also kind and giving. That is how Citizen Queen smells. Timeless, yet modern. Light, with underlying, brooding darkness. Cold, but providing warmth. Clean, but oh so pleasantly dirty. * * * In my opinion it's a romantic vampiric scent. The slightly animalic nature shows us her "fangs", making her not just another basic powdery scent. Right upon application, it smells like crushing white florals, iris and rose petals doused in sweet amber syrup mixed with melted labdanum and resins. There is also a cold freshness to it, until it melts down into the skin and becomes fluffy and warm. Almost like a vibrant orange tinted cocktail drink spilled on a dark red and black sofa with residues of an expensive powdery smelling lotion. The smell of leather is there, dancing with the powder. The aldehydes and iris are making the composition classy, giving a slight retro throw back. A true master-piece by house of JHAG. Scent: 10/10 Longevity: 8/10 Projection: 9/10

Citizen Queen is my favorite from JHAG, with Vengeance Extreme second. I‘m not a huge fan of this house and wouldn‘t wear most of their scents, but this one is really beautiful. It‘s a soft, fluffy white cloud of musk and powder, but soft doesn‘t mean weak or boring. This perfume has a multifaceted composition. It hits just the right spot between creamy and powdery, sweet and clean, warm and cool. It‘s not suffocating like some other strong powdery scents can be, as it‘s not too dry, but it‘s potent. The aldehydes in this are sparkling and fresh, so this smells modern and wearable for those who don‘t always like aldehydes. I usually don't like soapy scents, but it reminds me of soap bubbles in a good way. The leather note feels like smooth nude colored leather. It‘s more detactable when I sniff my skin directly and not so much around me. The musk is warm, but clean, and the iris is very noticeable in the powder scent. Even though it‘s not listed, I smell a hint of vanilla in this, most likely due to the amber note. This gets compared to the classics No 5 and Shalimar in many reviews on here. I get a hint of No 5 from the aldehydes in this, but no Shalimar at all. Anyways, Citizen Queen doesn‘t smell like an older perfume all in all, so those not into the classics don‘t need to be afraid. If you love fluffy, creamy, cuddly powder musks, try this, it‘s beautiful.

I'm not sure if I can review Citizen Queen properly since it always is a new perfume every time I put it on my skin. To own CQ is like having ten different perfumes (in one bottle). Every time I spray it I don't know what to expect, - what will happen this time? However, almost every time it's a more than pleasant experience. One day, while being enamored with LV, LVE and Midnight Oud, I decided to try this perfume too. And all I could say back then was "well, next". CQ worked just like some boring powder on my skin, I don't know why. Just powder and some leather. Nothing interesting, no rose whatsoever. However, I kept the sample and tried again later. And wow, next time it worked. I got the most beautiful iris/rose combination, smooth leather, and invigorating aldehydes. I got hooked and started to wear it every day. And every day it has been something new. One day it works as a leather perfume, bold and strong, another day it is the most sweet, sexy, fluffy powdery iris, next day it's a dewy rose, innocent and intoxicating, and so on. How can it be possible? My favourite variation of CQ is "smells like my skin, but better". My husband even cannot tell if I am perfumed or not when CQ works this way. If you are interested in a perfume which will play with you, try this. In five words: versatile, refined, powdery, leathery, chic.

Make no mistake, you'll bow, willingly and without a single protest! You have very little choice in the matter, to be honest. Citizen Queen is just THAT good! BUT, watch out for the first spray, it's a doozy and NOT, for the faint of heart. It's a big, 'chemical' reception, straight out of the aldehyde factory. I think it's meant to serve notice of the power to come. Fortunately, I have the olfactory heart of a lion! Citizen Queen did not scare me off, just the opposite. I was (and still am) drawn to it. A willing subject. Yes, the aldehydes blast out at you, but they soon relent, settling on the skin with beautiful precision. Citizen Queen is very structured to me. It's also wonderfully powdery and I do love a powder bomb! The most insistent notes on my skin, (iris and rose present only on my clothing) leather, labdanum, amber give the powder quite an edge. They even darken the composition for me. A strange occurrence for what is very much a powder puff. So take note of the edge powder lovers, THIS is not a comfort scent, though the powder on the air presents at times milky and slightly sweet. It's not a fragrance that sits cozy around the house while you relax. It walks confident and proud down Wall Street (or a backstreet) to hold court. Signed, Loyal Subject of the Queen

This is my third experience with a Juliette Has A Gun fragrance. Citizen Queen is nothing like my previous two, Mad Madame and Midnight Oud. This scent is sparkling, bright, beautiful, and totally unique. As I look for scents for warmer weather that aren’t "freshies" or like anything else, this fits the bill nicely. It is powdery and a bit soapy, but not in the way that you'd think. The soapiness, normally a huge turn off for my husband and I, is somehow gorgeous here. Another surprise are the aldehydes. Normally, my body chemistry interacts horribly with them, making me smell exactly like a nursing home (not an exaggeration). The aldehydes in Citizen Queen are not the same as those in your grandmother’s perfumes; here they are more effervescent and brilliant. The labdanum and resins add a hint of intoxication and olfactory heft without weighing it down. Other users report a stronger leather note than what I detect. To my husband and I, the "leather" smells more like a white suede note, definitely not a leathery-leather accord. Overall, this is a scent in which the sum of the parts hugely elevates the overall composition above any individual ingredient. It isn’t easy to describe. I am genuinely thrilled with this one *and* it isn’t even a heavy unisex frag! LOL.

Okay, people might think I'm crazy for saying this, but I think Citizen Queen could be Chloe Love's older sister. She's the rebel of the family, the black sheep. She drives a motorcycle and wears a leather jacket, while the rest of her family wear pearls and cardigans. She's been brought up to be classy and demure, but she's fought to become her own woman, and in doing so she will probably have a greater chance at true happiness than her mother or sisters. CQ knows who she is, and doesn't really care whether you love or hate her. Honestly, I'm in love with Citizen Queen. The femininity of the floral powder notes (that I associate with expensive make-up) and the more masculine smooth smokey leather work together so beautifully on this sensual warm amber base. It does need to calm down a bit after spraying it on, because it can be a bit overwhelming the first five minutes (I've never had a coughing fit over perfume before). But CQ is worth it for sure! This, more than any other scent I own, makes me feel like a strong, beautiful, kick-ass woman. I've never lusted after a perfume as much as I did with Citizen Queen!

After ordering JHAG's sampler pack (It's a great deal and everyone should do it. Tell your mother I gave you permission.), I'm quite taken with the whole line. But this is the only fragrance from JHAG that I love from top to bottom and back again. I fell for it as soon as I sprayed it and have not been disappointed yet. Call me crazy, but something about it has a quality of the character and class of Chanel No. 5, except more modern and with a bit of sass and spice. As a powder lover, the opening is fabulous. Somehow it manages to feel soapy and clean and rich and full and dark all at the same time. I'm usually leery of leather in fragrances, but it's seamlessly blended here. Wearing it, I don't smell like someone's new car. Same thing with the animalic aspect of it (even though it's not listed in the notes), it's tastefully done. There's just enough of an edge to make the wearer feel real and warm, but not unwashed. It feels retro and modern at the same time, like Shalimar for Generation X. This would be a great scent for a ladylike rebel.

Qitizen qeen opens with a leathery aldehydes burst and has an anemalistic feel to it. Heavenly fragrance and one of my favorites ones from this line , extremely smooth! It's seamlessly smooth and lays on the skin like a glove. It doesn't scream or shout , it's not loud or screechy odd or uncompfortable but it rather just melts Into ones skin to create absolute pleasure and wellbeing. Your skin but better ,a leathery powdery velvet and musky fragrance , it just smells really good like a modern classic fragrance made for today. Almost a retro feel ,I find this one impossible not to fall in love with. The leather is so warm and soft and minimal ( stronger in the beginning but then fades to a very soft suede ) the scent is powdery , creamy and sweet. I can't stop to smell my wrist all day long. Just pure heaven ! Many compliments on this ! Ps , my husband is not a fan of too classical fragrances , he totally loves this one. So it's not your typical oldschool classic, it's edgy and sexy, it's a master piece. 10 out of 10 for citizen queen !

Beautiful, soft, sweet and quite sexy. Something about the Rose notes don't quite sit well with me, it feels a bit too mature for my liking (I'm in my mid 20s) but if you're a lover of sexy powdery roses you'll love this. I love powdery scents but this just isn't *quite* what I'm looking for. I've been wearing this in 20 degree centigrade weather and in 10 degree weather and I'd say it suits both. The florals seem to come out in the heat and the powder in the cool. The leather note adds a sexiness that really makes this special. It's that earthy, almost spicy note in there. It almost reminds me of a toned down Mugler Alien some how. It's that floral-spicy-depth about it. This might work for someone who relegates Alien to "night out" wear and wants something more daytime friendly but still special. I don't love it enough to buy a full size, but it's a very very nice scent to indulge in a sample of. It definitely grew on me as time went on and lasts all day on my skin.

It is a very beautiful fragrance; kind of creamy, and not too strong. Though, I was actually expecting something a little more unique, since it has gotten so many ravishing reviews! To me, this is a mix of Chanel no 5 (maybe Eau Premiere) and a light variant of Shalimar. So, the best ones, obviously! But not so much new, then... (By the way, I feel like this would have some civet note in it - but it is not listed here?) I think my other fragrances from JHAG have more of true originality. I have MMMM, Mad Madame, Romantina, Miss Charming and Vengeance Extreme. I love them all, and this one too, even if it turned out to be something else than I thought. After using it a bit more, I appreciate it a lot more, too! I feel its own personality now, and not just the likenesses to Chanel no 5 and Shalimar. So, that means that I am very pleased with all of the fragrances from Juliette has a gun! ☺️

This one was a total surprise. Not one I was expecting to like I don't just like it, I LOVE IT. As the days wears on it gets even more lovely on me. A scent that seems to stay close, but still has good projection but does not offend. So unique and lovely I am getting stopped more than any other fragrance! A perfume that really seems to divide people in reviews. Seems to be a scent that either works really well or people hate it on. For me this is a keeper. A floral for the non floral lover. I gravitate toward Orientals Gourmands and Chypres. Very feminine. I agree with the reference to a scent that reminds me of a grown up Johnson's Baby Shampoo :) I really can not tolerate Iris and is usually a killer for me. In this it is perfect. The best floral I have ever smelled. This is the first perfume that I can not really pick out one note, it blends into a scent that is all its own.

I'm late to the JHAG party, after being introduced to Lipstick Fever (which became my signature) I was sent a sample of this by a kind stranger on a fragrance group on SM. I'd worn LF the day before, so had residual on my wrist. I gave this a spray on my arm for comparison. My first thought was 'Oh no, she went to all that trouble' as I took in a massive nostril of 80's hairspray and insect repellent. How could this be described as it has been? After ten minutes, it BECAME. I've enjoyed over four hours of the most dreamy divine powdery rosey irisy violety yumyum and I can honestly say this is simple beautiful. I'm a massive gourmand collector and this can sit with the best, but the Ambroxan and Leather lift it slightly away from the sweetness usually associated. I'll be buying a full bottle ASAP!

The smell on opening reminds me exactly of those little wraps of sweets you used to get in party bags as a kid in the UK: Fizzers. Took me right back to being 4 or 5 years old in the late 80s/early 90s. Gradually the vanilla and leather seep through and it's a warm, comforting, fuzzy fragrance. Like a cashmere jumper, big cosy socks, and a blanket on a cold, dark evening when you have the candles lit. On the dry down it has an aspect that reminds me pleasantly of my cat's fur when she's warm from the sun. It's not a powerhouse that announces it's presence 10 metres ahead of you, and refuses to let people forget you've ever even passed through the room, but it gives you a warm presence that invites people closer to you and makes them feel comforted when they are. Bravo, JHAG, another stunner.

Citizen Queen on me is a glorious scent! I instantly feel dressed up when I wear it, just like adding a diamond rind or studs to your outfit. To me the leather in this scent is cold with some metallic undertones. Rose and iris is well blended together and it is one of few fragrances with iris that I can wear. The aldehydes are very subtle and add a bit of a green note to the scent. Amber and labdanum deepen the scent making it a well-rounded composition. It is definitely a queen of scents in my collection. It is sexy, but cold...a look-but-don't-touch perfume! Citizen Queen can also change her mind as often as she pleases...sometimes it is a sillage bomb from just two sprays...other times it is a soft and powdery sexy skin scent. Nevertheless I always feel great when I wear it.

Well, well, well! What a surprise that I like a JHAG scent more than Not A Perfume. I tried a couple of others from JHAG but this one... I get mostly a rosy kind of powder, Ambroxan, and resins. I don't get any leather really. On me, this plays soft and really pretty in a grown-up-but-girly kind of way. It can seem both sexy and sweet. I love it. For some reason, it reminds me very slightly of Donna Karan's Cashmere - so maybe I do get a little bit of the musk. The thing is the iffy longevity. I have to either spray a cotton ball to tuck in my bra or else give myself good dabs behind my ears for this to hang around - and it does, for a while. It is not "eternal" on my skin. For that reason, I am glad that I got an affordable-sized decant instead of buying a full-size bottle.

I am wearing Citizen Queen for the first time today. We are slowly getting acquainted. I am finding it to be very pleasant as I try to identify the notes and entire composition. I wanted it to "knock my socks off" immediately but it doesn't. I was certain I would LOVE it so I'm a bit disappointed. Perhaps like will turn to Love after a day. I prefer to be the immediately bowled over by fragrances. So I was disappointed at first. However as the day passes its emanating a prettier scent. I'm not Rose crazy but I don't find it overwhelming here. I like to own a scent from each prominent line so I'm not sorry I bought it. I might offer some to others since I got the large flacon. That will make me feel better! It's a good frag, but I don't think it will ever make my top 5.

A labdanum lover's dream! This is chock full of labdanum, smells like the French labdanum used in Habanita L'Esprit (which smells nothing like the original Habanita btw). I like this WAY better than L'Esprit...but the labdanum note smells similar in the dry down and if you like CQ you should give L'Esprit a shot. A hefty dose of aldehydes gives this a throw back feel. It is almost like the love child of L'Esprit and Chanel No. 22. Citizen Queen is an old school meets modern fragrance. Lady meets street chic. Florals are minimal, you do not think "floral" fragrance. This is all about aldehydes, powder and sweetened - yet dry - animalic notes. I can see how CQ can be polarizing but for me it is LOVE. Sampled once and bought a full bottle the same day!

Citizen Queen is the scent of secrets whispered through layers of vintage powder and worn-in leather. There's a paradox here — soft yet assertive, feminine but defiant. It conjures the image of a ballerina after the curtain falls: the grace still clinging to her movements, but her costume slightly creased, leather pointe shoes broken in and warm with memory. The leather isn’t sharp or industrial — it’s tactile, lived-in, and human. Powdery aldehydes give it a halo of softness, like a veil of antique makeup on a velvet glove. It’s not clean, not dirty — just intimately close, like a perfume kept in an heirloom box lined with suede. Wearing this makes me feel like I’m stepping into a forgotten story. Melancholy, sensual, and unapologetically unique.

I haven’t tried all the JHAG perfumes, but this is the best one I’ve tried. For longevity and smell. It’s quite unique but I ‘group it’ together in my mind as powdery, slightly dirty, smoky. Along the lines of Habanita, Putains de Palaces, even Divine ‘Enfant. I love those sort of fragrances, I know they’re not for everyone. I do get compliments from them. I had a tester of this and decided to buy a full bottle (if I could as apparently discontinued) as even though it starts off a bit skanky and strong but dries down into a complex feminine, powdery floral imo. It stays on clothes and skin until the next day. I managed to get a bottle on eBay, not overpriced so I was lucky. I’d probably just go for Habanita if I couldn’t get it though.

This is such a gorgeous scent that gets so much less recognition than others from the line up. It's iris and leather but it's perfection. I found Guerlain Shalimar to be beautiful, but very strong on the civet...so I moved to Guerlain L'Initial. This is much more palatable, but a little bit too citrus/aldehyde sharp for me. I love it, but I do find it a bit much. Then...Citizen Queen. She is what I have been looking for. She is L'Initial, but so much more beautiful and soft. She is comforting, delicious and intriguing. There are few perfumes that to me don't feel like wearing a scent, but rather being wrapped in a cozy blanket that surrounds and comforts you during the day/night. This is that scent for me.

The concept behind the JHaG line (as a dedicated rose lover) really appealed to me. After giving the whole line a shot, this is the one I fell madly in love with. Don't get me wrong, the first few sprays are loud, and can be tricky to get through. But what you're left with is a perfect rose and clean (almost soapy a times) leather blend that's intoxicating. I find the iris keeps things modern enough. I find this is a perfect going-out scent, and love the added edge to it. It's feminine without being girly, and alternative without being crude. It demands attention without being onboxious (and only demands it from those who get close enough)

This is a different twist on what could otherwise be just another powdery scent. It's ambery, musky, spicy, leathery, and to a much lesser degree, floral. From first spray, with that bergamot leather hit, to the powdery, labdanum, musky dry down, and the soft floral heart in between, is just perfect to me. It's the leather, labdanum, and skanky musky notes that really ropes me in and turns what could be just an otherwise innocent scent into something both intriguing and sultry. I find the composition as a whole a very tactile and sensuous experience. I really love this. I am so glad I have a big bottle that should last me some time.

This smells like peaches to me, am I crazy? I don't really get any leather either, hmmm. It is beautiful and well crafted nonetheless. I tend to not like aldehydes but this I can get behind. It has so many layers that I get a kick out of testing it on one arm with another scent on my other arm. Right now it is getting bullied by the much more assertive Tauer's une rose chypree (didn't really stand a chance). I think next I will compare it to mitsouko and see if it really is as peachy as I suspect. To summarize, I like this a lot and am enjoying my sample but I plan on using my credit from my JHAG sample pack for a different scent.

Ooooh, what a lovely composition this is. Modern chypre is damn right, it has animalic facets but it's cleaned up for the 2000's crowd. Take an unwashed Paloma Picasso or what have you, toss in the washing machine with a generous helping of milky white Narciso Rodriguez Narciso, and ta-dah! Clean fur! Powdery leather! Sparkling musk! All of the sex with none of the skank! Granted, by wearing Citizen Queen you'd still stand out among the fruitchoulis, but I'd still consider this fragrance non-risky. It's extremely enticing and has this moreishness to it that makes me return to the spot I dabbed it time and time again.

this seems to start out as iris, leather and musk, amber and resins, which are a bunch of my favorite notes. there is something slightly sweet here, either resins or labdanum, i'm not sure. i smell the rose, but not very strongly as it seems to blend in to the other notes quite a bit. i think this is primarily and amber/resin scent after it's on my skin for about 5 minutes, and it smells very "womanly" to me. i am really loving this, but if i smell it up close it's way more iris than rose, but if i waft it up from my arm, i get more of the rose. this is my first JHAG scent i've tried and i am happy with the results!

How on earth have I been sleeping on this? I was wearing JHAG way before it was popular, going through one of their early discovery sets when they first launched at Sephora and no one had even heard of Not a Perfume yet. Not to flex!! But I was attentive to the brand way back, that is the point. Somehow this one missed my notice. I am glad to discover it now, and my goodness it is divine. Definitely full bottle worthy. I am all about the powdery scents, and compared to the brand's Lipstick Fever, this is a 9 while that's about a 6.5 at best. I definitely need more of this in my life.

Citizen Queen is everything. It is both dry and creamy, raunchy and innocent, loud and introverted. How can it be everything yet be so well rounded. I guess she's some kind of deity. Also, it performs unbelievably well. My skin drinks up even Habanita and makes it disappear, but CQ stays on my skin up to 24 hours, and she changes her character in the process but never becomes dull. Sillage is strong enough, I rarely get asked what fragrance I am wearing but it's never the case for the queen. This is my holy grail. JHAG please make her come back!!

Soft “baby” smell like perfume. Its a powdery aldehyde scent that takes over, you may pick up a little bit of that bergamot with the floral notes, to me the opening smells like cosmetics/nail polish and then it gets to the baby wipes/baby powder that people talk about. The dry down is a settled sweet candy ish floral resin. The more you try it the more you love it and appreciate it, sadly is discontinued but you can still get it on the internet. Wearing it being a man it takes me back to when as a child my mom used spray a cologne on me.

The more I get to know this, the more I fall in love with it. At first I thought it was my least favourite of my JHAG:s, but now I feel that it is oh so lovely! I did say it even before: it is like soft mixture of Chanel no 5 (mostly Eau Premiere, 2008 edition) and Shalimar Eau de Cologne, and then something extra. A little soapy, and softly sexy, sensual or even innocently erotic, a bit animalic. And then some powdery flowers. Maybe not a safe blind buy for anybody, but for me: backup worthy...

My first love with JHAG. And still, I am deeply in love with this one. Yes, lots of dry powder and a little flowers, but again, no sweetness, nothing cloying only warm and cozy vibes. I do not connect it with the name, queen ok, but why city? for me, it suits with busy days or tea breaks, lunchtimes, brunch outside the city, so not only the city. By the way, for me it has very little connection with Habanita L'esprit, which is full of white musk and labdanum, I put it on a different shelf.

On my skin this is very fresh clean and soft with just a delicate hint of a very light inoffensive powder note. This is the most 'not a perfume' fragrance I own. It reminds me of white fluffy newly laundered towels and crisp clean sheets. I am delighted with this purchase. I would be comfortable wearing this in any setting and any time of the year. Somedays you want to be the leading lady and other days the chorus girl and lend a great supporting role in the loveliest of fashion.

At the first sniff, I had no idea why this fragrance got the name queen – queens usually dominate people, area, room in my understanding. On my skin, Citizen Queen von JHAG is rather decent with its powdery attitude and arm length silage – but yet very strong as it stays and serves with wonderful powdery, musky, leathery molecules with a good hint of iris during the whole day. So my conclusion – yes, it is a queen in the highest sense of the word – elegant, subtle, radiant.

I never thought I'd love a perfume with prominent aldehydes... but this is different. It's classic yet modern, multifaceted and yet so smooth. Really great fragrance for winter, and it has great staying power. I also have to tell you, I work as a casino dealer and the other night one of the poker players complimented me and said I smelled so good when I was wearing this and asked me what it was. That's never happened before!

This is amazing wow. Cool iris powder bad ass bitch fragrance. Ice queen. I was initially very attracted to this on first sniff. I do wonder however if this is something to be taken only in small doses as I can see myself getting sick of this like I have with other powder bomb fragrances such as the old Chloe Love. I can see this also being potentially love or hate and would bet the man in my life might not like this one.

I LOVE this perfume. Received it in a blind swap because of the reviews here. I love powdery scents in general but this one has a twist. It starts out with a blast of aldehydes similar to chanel no 5 but then turns into a powdery soapy mix. Very clean in a retro/ modern way if that makes sense. The leather note is subtle but blends in well. 10/10 for me. I will purchase a FB once I run out. A must have.

absolutely love this one. my bottle is kind of broken, so whenever i spray it, it starts leaking. i have to be very careful when i use it, but otherwise i love layering it with other scents or just reveling in powdered aldehydes. it can be a little strong (metallic even? although it may be the leather and bergamot...) in its initial application, but the way it dries down is gorgeous.

Smooth, warm amber powder with a rose soapy feel from start to finish. This is really, really nice and suitable for any occasion, day and night. The leather is there but soft, clean and just perfect. I have tested most of the Juliet has a gun range and this is by far my favorite, second is Midnight oud. The performance is impeccable, last all day and then some. A true classic!

Beautiful smooth leathery musky silky-soft divine perfume, Citizen Queen! Absolutely heavenly. So smooth!!! It's like velvet; like silk. It's completely glorious! It's a beautiful velvety second skin, with a richness my own skin lacks. A rose richness. Sweet, deep and delicate. Refined and majestic. Regal. Beautiful. Warm and so comforting, it's high on my list of favourites.

Just a heads up for people who love this fragrance as much as I do. I contacted JHAG customer service because I was concerned that this fragrance might have been discontinued since it is no longer on their website. I received a response that it was. So, if you want it now is the time before it becomes hard to find and rediculously expensive.

On me: Aldehydes, Johnson's Baby Shampoo Original, powdery iris,dusty rose, creamy, leathery & spicy amber. Feels very retro and ladylike to me. My comfort scent during rainy days, I love it! The whiff of this fume sometimes does remind me of Kenzo Amour from its creaminess aspect. Sillage wise :huge Staying Power: Very Good

My treat to myself, and oh boy what a nice perfume this is! I was hoping for a cloud of powder, and I got it, but as usual my skin turns the scent to sweetness on a drydown, and this sweetness is very creamy vanilla with some residual powder. Truly a queen the fragrance is. However, I don't get the leather note out of it...

After 2 weeks regular usage I can say - for now I fell in love with it) Really O don't know why - I can not separate the specific notes, it smells different each time, each time I wear it I find sometning else - retro aldehydes, leather, roses, powder... It's transparent, very feminine, suits to each and every occasion.

On my skin, it's the leathery version of Mariella Burani fragrance (the classic, with the roses on the cap): so I can smell powdery flowers, amber, a little bit of aldehydes and an interesting touch of leather, all blend together in a refined, grown-up powdery scent. Amazing staying power. Amazing fragrance as well!

Aldehydes, leather and bergamot fight in the sharp opening where aldehydes end up winning. It quickly changes into a soapy/powdery rose with tuberose on a vanilla base. It's like putting Chanel #5 on and Ombre Rose on top of it. The dry down is very pretty but I have to say that I have smelled it many times before.

I smell powder, iris and aldehydes. Incerdibly chic. This is a modern, wearable combination of No5 and Shalimar. Beautiful, elegant and feminine scent. I'm not sure I could see myself wearing such a powdery fragrance, but I'm really enjoying this so far. Sillage is moderate at least, longevity is around 4-5 hours.

Powdery musky flowers, and I'm definitely getting a soft, tame leather. I like this a lot, will see if it turns to love! One thing though - am I crazy, or is anyone else getting Narciso Rodriguez for Her EDP and/or Idylle? I'm working from memory on that one, but this definitely is ringing a bell.

Gorgeous powdery comfort. Very reminiscent of White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor, a fragrance I adore. For me the dominant accords are powder and aldehyde, followed by white florals and a barely-there musk. After a few hours settles to a lovely powdery violet. A new favourite!

Разкошен парфюм. Изключително дамски и същевременно провокиращ и палав и секси. Много любим и затова ми е трудно да пиша за него. Красив във всеки сезон, стига да имате желание за него. Да, доста прилича на бялата хабанита и на романтична, но просто не са взаимозаменяеми.

Soo... yess!! Got my bottle just before summer and with the hot days it was difficult to wear it. But now it’s time to rock it. Powdery, aldehydic, leather, citrus, resins and floral. Super elegant, clean and different! If you can get a bottle go for it.
