J'Aime

Released in 2007, J'aime (meaning I love) is a fruity-gourmand fragrance, very youthful and feminine. It starts with notes of bergamot and pepper, allied to a delicious lychee extract. In the heart of the fragrance, a floral bouquet of Egyptian jasmine and lilies, in addition to the sweetness of the raspberries. Finally, a sensual base of musk and caramel, as well as amber and patchouli. J'aime is the kind of perfume that men love smelling in women, because merges innocence with sensuality. And although I defend that perfume has no age or sex, this one was made for the young, no doubt. It's not extremely innovative, since there are numerous comparisons with Miss Dior Cherie, Euphoria, Black XS, etc. In addition to being sweet without being nauseating, its evolution is fantastic. The caramel nuance is balanced by the bitterness of the patchouli, while the lychee and raspberry insist on appearing all the time. I leave here two important notes: typically, new perfumes do not present in their sprays any smell and, in many brands, they are put backwards before being sealed, as a form of confirmation that the product has never been used. Although this is not a legend, also is not a rule. My bottle came with the spray centralized in the right position, and by the time I just lift the lid, it has already been possible to feel a foreshadowing of what was to come. And it wasn't the first time I went through this experience. Therefore, beware of generalizations. The other is regarding the color of the product. The virtual pictures show a pink product, in its entirety. But, in fact, the bottle is transparent, the liquid has nude color and only the lid is pink, as a faceted stone with the initials LP embossed. Finally, both projection and lasting are worthy of an Italian Eau de Parfum built with intense notes.

this is my recent discovery and it's so beautiful. playful. cute and sexy at the same time. this reminds me a bit of the little cookies me and my man ate in italy last summer. and then it turns into this cheeky scent that can be quite sexy, when the patchouli comes out and softens the sweetness and at this stadium, j'aime lingers for quite a long time around you, with that beautiful sillage, that is not big but seductive: it's that sillage, that people around you notice without noticing it's perfume, but "something" beautiful around you. and this makes me feel really sexy not because i am wearing a "sexy" perfume, but because i know what's my secret, that makes me feel that way: it's j'aime. i love wearing this. especially, when it's so cold outside like today. still so much snow and ici wind. but then i take a deep breath in my scarf and there it is: soft, sweet, beautiful, playful. warm. and it makes me feel so good.

I really love my J'aime bottle! It's not usual for me to love a light, fruity, floral perfume. I'm really all about the bold, daring, deep and strong perfumes! This shouldn't be one of my favorites at all.. But funny fact, it really is! Why? Because: J'aime always succeed to put a smile on my face. It's my favorite perfume to wear during summer, when ever I have a really good day or are in a special good mood I always reach for J'aime because I know that this little darling will double the effect! It has an impressive sillage and lasting power, whick I really appreciate. Perhaps it sounds stupid but for me J'aime really is sunshine in a bottle. It's a precious feeling that dosn't come often. If you like this perfume category, you should absolutley try J'aime, even if you don't fancy this category (like me) you should try it anyway, perhaps it will brighten your day as well?

This was an amazing surprise for me. Beeing a huge fan of the homonimous La Perla, I tought this one would be a modern and crappy remake of the other one. Oh how was I wrong... J'aime is the perfect step from teenage perfumes for more mature ones. Is sweet without beeing teeny, its light but make head turns, its inoccent but incredibly sexy. On my skin the notes that take the lead are litchi, jasmine and bergamot (the tp notes make me think this perfume is the older sexy sister of Britney Spears Fantasy, crazy right?!), the drydown is gourgeaus, amber, musk and caramel instedd of the usual vanilla is a really perfect idea. Perfect for everyday, every occasion, all year. Easy to wear, easy to like. I wouldnt call it unique, but its definatly a well done perfume that smells perfect. 5*

Talk about a better version of Fan di Fendi! The notes are quite similar, with the fruity pear on top, and there is an animalic element here that resembles that tiny bit of leather in the base of Fan. But J'Aime seems to have better projection and somehow just seems better defined. I think it's a pretty, feminine perfume. I can't help but think it would be wonderful for a day-time date, like coffee or lunch. It's flirty, but it's not immature. It's also a fraction of the cost of Fan di Fendi. I can sort of understand the comparison to La Vie est Belle...but I think J'Aime smells better and is not powdery or gourmand in any way, and is of higher quality. For the price, it's a very worthy perfume.

I'm in love with this perfume. As I am now ready to buy my 3rd 100ml bottle, I can definitely say that it has become my signature scent. It matches my personality perfectly and is definitely not a too grown up scent. J'aime is a scent which is lovable for almost everyone, I have received plenty of compliment when wearing this. I fell for the pink pepper, pear and jasmine notes in this perfume,which have by the way always been winners in perfumes for me. The scent has a sparkly spicy start which slowly becomes more and more sensual. It lasts about 4 to 5 hours on my skin and lingers well.

After i read all this good reviews aboute this perfume,i have to have ! I buy without knowing what smell will be..and I LOVE IT !Its soo ,soo nice smell omg,i can smell this allday long.For me its smells wery similar to Miss Dior cherie.I really suggest try this perfume ,its is sweet ,but fresh at the same time ! Wow !Love it !

The actual notes are nothing like the notes listed here. The description is accurate but the pictures below are misleading. The official pyramid: Top Notes : Pepper, Lychee, Bergamot Heart Notes : Jasmine, Raspberry, Water Lily Base Notes : Caramel, Patchouli, White Musks, Amber

It's beautiful. Rich and sweet, a warm depth of a mistery. Sexy. This is how i find this scent. And now after i had 8 years ago a 100ml and lately had a sample to remind it again to myself, it's going away ? Probably discontinued? Why ! Oh why !!

The fruits are not very noticiable in this perfume at all except for the rasberry. But otherwhise it's really caramely-muksy floral on me. Anyways I love this scent and I sooo want it! =D

Just love this perfume!! Sweet peppery patchouli evening caramel... It lasts at least for 24 hours... even after a shower... and tomorrow morning.

Use it for dates, it is angelic and sexy at the same time.

Why has the perfume pyramid on this page changed?

I absolutely LOVE J'Aime! And I have to admit I was very resistant towards trying this one, regarding the bad reviews I had read. The opening is just fresh and delicious, quite above my expectations - litchi never disappoints me. Then it settles into a clean and sourish almost-fruity type of floral. That also made me resist. "Why?" I thought... Well, I found out that reminded me a lot of a specific moment in Baby Doll, right before the "acid metalic burnt sugar disaster". But it was good, quite good, actually, and I realised I was just resisting to it because of the association. Well, I got over the association! J'Aime's heart notes are beautifully blended into a feminine, very pleasant concotion. And suddenly... Wait! What is this? Caramel kicks in! This smells GREAT! But reminds me something... hmmm... Black XS for her! Another perfume I kind of pick on... But you know what? J'Aime is a lot better. And I also got over this association. Weird, huh? It resembles two fragrances I would never buy and I just love it! The drydown is one of my favorites. You can almost taste the caramel, and that just lasts and lasts and stays forever on my skin. More than twelve hours. Couldn't be better! J'Aime really made its way into my heart and now it's certainly one of the most desired in my wishlist.

Warning: do not spray this with a heavy hand! There are so many EDPs out there that I expect to last forever and an hour later they're gone. This is quite the opposite. Spray it a couple of times and expect to smell strongly of it twelve hours later. This is not what I would consider a gourmand. Yes it has fruity notes, for me most notably the raspberry, but where is the caramel? I didn't find it in the dry down (I tried). It reminds me more of a grown up Escada limited edition and less of upscale Italian undies. Nevertheless, I smelled it in Harrod's on a trip to London and decided it was a yes. For the record, I don't like chypres and I don't like patchouli, and I do like this. A little Flowerbomb-esque - sharper - and longer lasting. This is definitely for spring and summer.

i bought this as a blind buy during winter and tested it several times and was disappointed. i loved the scent but it seemed to fade away to nothing within minutes. now its spring in australia and i'm experiencing a whole new realm of excitement. not only could i detect wafts several hours later but could distinguish changes in the layers and i'm not good at this. at first i smell jasmine, raspberry and then maybe musk and caramel. and it smells good. not a love but a bloody good like. it is also the first scent i get when i open my perfume cupboard door. update. thank god i cant detect lychee cos to me, lychee, along with lily of the valley, are are a definte yuk.

Interesting and yet not. I bought as a blind buy and am not disappointed. This perfume doesn't reinvent the wheel, it's basically a fruity floral with some depth. However....I do find myself smelling my wrist over and over, it's so nice. "Pink" sweet with some pepper and is that musk? I'm not getting a lot of caramel here, I was surprised to see it in the notes. Not overwhelming but I am happily surprised at this sillage, definitely should be sprayed with a light hand. And my skin isn't eating this! Shocking that a perfume has lasted for a few hours strong on me, that never happens. While it may not be the most creative scent, it is really lovely with legs.

Well this didn't work on me!. Spices don't usually work on my skin n in this case the spices along w what on me smells like bergamot (there must be some in there) turn it super sour/bitter and metallic on me n on my tongue even! Ugh! The dry down is nice but takes too long to get to. I wanted to love it based on the lovely reviews but I don't like Euphoria on me tho its lovely on friends n this has been compared to it. That n the spice should have been my warning. Darn it! But if u love CK Euphoria then give this a try!

Excellent quality perfume, sweet aromatic pear with a little spicy kick while the flowers just sit in the background. Long lasting with a nice bottle. I already own j'aime la nuit which is a real winter masterpiece perfume and I was gladly surprised with "j'aime" which can be considered a spring and summer perfume. La perla seem to be so underrated and you can easily find their perfumes in very competitive prices. If you are looking for something high class and differrent try them. I very happy!!!!!!
