Andaluiza

I feel like J U S Parfums is such an underrated brand. Not sure why... Anyway, during a recent holiday in France, I had the opportunity to try a couple of their fragrances and some of them are really good! Obviously, not everything will suit my taste like with any other brand. Case in point, Andaluiza. If you’re into a linear, sweet, fruity, vanillic, resinous, ambery, lactonic fragrances with a good performance you’re in for a treat! Andaluiza belongs to the warm and fruity fragrance family, offering a mixture of warmth and sweetness within the gourmand category. It opens with a sweet, juicy mandarin orange mixed with overripe pomegranate. The fruity character stays throughout the entire life of the fragrance, but the middle and base notes add a subtle hint of creaminess from the milk, a strong note of warm amber from the labdanum and amber wood and a good amount of sweet vanilla from the tonka beans. I can’t understand why people would say this is similar to BR540 Extrait. It’s not. Yes, it’s an intensely sweet scent like BR540 Extrait, but Andaluiza has a very pronounced fruity smell and a creamy texture that makes it distinctive in my opinion. This is a standalone fragrance and a good one! I would rather say it’s a sweeter version of Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming, but without florals and amped up on vanilla and amber. Performance wise, it lasts well. It’s a long lasting scent with great sillage for the first 2-3 hours. I see this worn mostly during fall and winter season since it’s such a strong scent with an intense sweetness and creaminess. Presentation on this brand is kinda unique, very interesting, comes into a burgundy metallic cylinder surrounding a cranberry rounded shape glass bottle with a black, heavy cap with the name of the brand on the top of the cap. Not the most luxurious packaging but it shows attention to detail and it’s definitely different from the norm, things that I always appreciate.

Spicy fruity but so delicious! 🍊 Perfect for end of fall and winter 🍁 This is exactly what i imagine Persephone smells like when she's in the underworld. Ambery warmth and that sweet embrace. ❤️ Sillage is strong and i smell it throghout the day (sprayed on neck). Maybe one spritz is enough, why i did two this morning is a mystery to me 😅

Pour les personnes qui disent que ça sent le parfum bon marché, n'avez-vous donc pas de nez ? Je trouve, au contraire, que c'est un chef d'œuvre, par la simplicité de ses notes, avec le combo grenade/ambre qui est sublime. Je sais bien qu'il en faut pour tout le monde mais de la à dire que ça sent le parfum bon marché, c'est insensé.

Extremely complex; 9/10 I have made this the only fragrance I wear on Christmas and thanksgiving days

Looking to sell my bottle. Few sprays missing, comes full presentation. UK shipping only.
