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!!!!!!

I just tried it, at first it was a lovely fruity but after a while it started smelling like red wine and smoke. This fragrance has highs and lows, I would suggest it to someone who likes spicy gourmands and simple scents. I'm not a fan of musk and patchouli and that may be why I can't help but thinking there's something wrong in the drydown, I still think its a nice smell I may not buy it but I'll still use it if I get the chance.

I always thought it reminds me of Euphoria (which I don ́t have), but today my sister wore Euphoria and I thought she was wearing my J ́aime. I sprayed her perfume on my wrist and to me they are almost the same! On my skin, because on hers, Euphoria turns into a woody, stuffy smell in the drydown that I don ́t like, but on me, reminds J ́aime a lot!

Lovely,lovely!Pretty and sweet,definetly a young scent(not teen young but young).I used not to actually like it but i totally changed my mind.I tried my sisters bottle and after a while it smelled just better,the base is great.Especially when the caramel kicks in(i love caramel scent).La perla makes great fragrances..

When I was in the stores, a lot of sellers try to sell it to me and sayd that all the teenagers and girls love it and that its a very popular now, and it does smells nice but there was something that I didnt like. But in general, it is a good perfume, fresh and stay long time on the skin.

I'd said I like it, but it's on the edge of I don't. The patchouli is very strong, is at the limit of bearable. It's very feminine, but it almost gave me a toothache. I wouldn't buy it. After a month, I can still smell it, and it's delicious raspberry with caramel. mmmmmmmmm delicious.

very sweet floral fruity, smells a lot like estee lauder's Pleasures DELIGHT! Though j'aime is a líttle more serious, but just slightly. Sugary raspberry, hard not to like... It's just not entirely 'me' :)

i don ́t think this is a teeny fragrance. it ́s sweet but not candy-sweet. in my opinion not that sexy, more romantic and flirtatious. and the bottle is really cute^^

I love it. It's extraordinary. A little bit confusing at first, but then the smell becomes more and more passionate and fascinating.

I REALLY LOVED IT .. AND COULDN'T WAIT MORE ONE DAY TO BUY IT .. I FINALLY BOUGHT IT ;D...!!

nothing new under the sun.One of all sweet caramel modern frags.Soooo boring

Slightly sweet, pink, powdery, like a cross between Ellie Saab and La Vie Est Belle. Pleasantly gentle caramel patchouli which my brain insists on identifying as vaguely minty. Perfectly nice, but not my cup of tea.

If anyone knows of a fragrance similar to the opening in this one, but keeps the same scent throughout the drydown, please let me know! This is really beautiful, but not for me I think. It opens so perfectly and so lovely, this would become a signature fragrance for me if not for the patchouli and musk combination that kicks in as it starts to dry down. There's something about that dry down that sends me into a minor anxiety attack. D&G the One and all of its flankers do the same thing to me. I suppose its something in the slightly masculine edge during the drydown that they both have in common that does it. If it were not for that this would be a keeper as the lichi and rose combination is beautiful.

A modern fruityflowerfresh scent. Timeless - both younger women and middleaged women can wear this. Just so fruitysweet I can stand. I don't like sweet parfum's. This will not be a favourite, but its very nice. En modern fruktblommigfräsch doft. Tidlös - både tjejen och kvinnan kan bära denna. Precis så fruktsöt som jag klarar av, jag gillar inte söta/fruktsöta parfymer. Detta blir ingen favorit men den är väldigt fräsch och trevlig.

I just have a little sample vial of this one. I don't think this one worked well for me - I found it very sweet, to the point of being a little headache-inducing. I was surprised when I checked the listed notes because I usually like all of them, but all I get is a generic sweet fruity-floral blast. It sounds like others have more luck! I found the lasting power and sillage to be moderate.

This fragrance is sweet, but I can’t find the freshness like the other reviewers. When dries down, I feel cloying sweetness, what makes me feel sick. It is too much! I have headache from this sweet and strong „cloud” and want immediately to take a shower to remove it. I apologize to the fans of this fragrance.

I was "jumping around" this a lot and nearly bought it. It's a quite nice yummy floral scent that seems romantic. I liked how it smelled on paper. On my skin it turned into a candy cloud. I re-tested it and had to give it up because I did not like how it developed on my skin.

This smells like raspberry bubblegum. The fruit is overwhelming, and I don't smell any chypre or woodiness, so to me this is a pleasant scent without backbone. I will try it again in summer and see if that makes a difference.

Meh. Don't hate it, don't love it. It does not smell fruity to me at all. It smells floral with a soapy afterthought. I don't remember how, why, or where I purchased this, but I hardly used it.

sensual and sophisticated fragrance in my opinion it smells more floral than fruity (white and pink flowers) not overpowering at all, love it suitable for over 30 too will buy again

This fragrance smells yummy! Most of all I feel the lychee, raspberry and caramel notes in it. I like this gourmand and warm enough fragrance.

I'm in love everytime i smell it!! it's such a feminine and rich fragrance. Reminds me a little bit "coco mademoiselle"... beautiful!!!

The caramell in it reminds me of Jessica Simpson Fancy, good but nothing new. Bit i have no idea of wich of them that came first.

Weak raspberry water with pink pepper and an aquatic wibe. No caramel to be noticed. Doesn't last long either.

Since acquiring a tester bottle (scent unsniffed) of La Perla J'AIME, I've worn it a few times. I need to be honest. I don't really like this perfume. The first night I wore it, I actually woke up in the middle of the night wanting to wash it off--there seemed to be something off in it in the way in which celebrity scents however well-intended are often "off". I wasn't sure why I did not like it, but it smelled somehow discordant to me. After a few more wears, I think that I've figured it out: it's the musk which makes this perfume slightly dirty and skanky at the same time that it aspires to be a gourmand delight. A comparison to Van Cleef & Arpels ORIENS might be helpful. ORIENS is also sweet and voluptuous, but there is no dirtiness or skank involved whatsoever. ORIENS is more like a treat, while J'AIME is something of a chore for me to wear. I do very much like the opening of J'AIME, but I grow tired of it quickly and do not reach for the bottle in the way that I reach for perfumes beloved to me. Perhaps my bottle is bad, but the liquid was pink when it arrived. After a few weeks it had turned brown, and now it is nearly clear. No, I did not leave the bottle out in the light. I have kept it in the box, and the ambient temperature has been moderate, so something may simply be wrong with the composition of this perfume. It boasts (ha ha) BHT among its ingredients but that's obviously not enough to hold the whole production together because mine is not pink at all. In the end, I should say that this perfume may work well for those who like musky perfumes along the lines of L'AGENT PROVOCATEUR or NARCISO RODRIGUEZ or SARAH JESSICA PARKER. But be advised: this one is also rather sweet in addition to being slightly skanky.

Perfect for the festive season, I get opening notes of cranberries (rather than the listed raspberry) with a mellow background of amber and spice. Those who are normally put off by gourmand type notes should really give this one a chance , as normally I wouldn't countenance a fragrance with 'caramel' but this note is a true burnt sugar rather than sickly toffee. The jasmine is there, but waving very faintly in the background of the group shot; this is a good thing for me as usually any touch of jasmine gives me an immediate headache and the overwhelming need to lie down in a darkened room to recover. Having said all this (and although it should be obvious that I like this perfume - I am wearing it today as I type!) there is just something missing from the mix. It needs to pack an extra punch and somehow misses the mark every time. I so want to love J'aime, but I don't. It isn't too sweet, yet it needs to be still more tempered with extra spice, perhaps a dark glimmering of vetivert would have done the job? I'm biased, of course, as I adore vetivert and all things woodsy musk, but I feel this perfume is striving to be as glamourous as its more grown up sisters (I would liken this to Paco Rabane's Black XS and Ungaro's Apparition) - J'aime is like a beautiful gown that the designer forgot to put the buttons on. It just doesn't hang right... Nevertheless, I shall persevere. This isn't a perfume I will stash at the back of a cupboard and forget about, but neither will it be something I reach for every day.

J'aime by La Perla is a perfume that I happened to find accidentally, when I was looking for information on a different (and unconnected) scent that is also called "J'aime". I decided to order a bottle as I liked the sound of it and I have to say that I'm very pleased I found this beautiful warm chypre. J'aime opens with a spicy citric note...the combination of pepper and fruits producing an almost metallic accord. That fades quickly though and leaves behind it a rich but light scent of white flowers enveloped in a mist of sweet raspberry. As the scent dries down the patchouli and caramel both become more prominent. The patchouli adds a spicy earthy tang to it, which is offset by the caramel's sweetness. The patchouli note is quite present for me, but it's not unpleasant, and it's not a "dirty" patchouli, but more of an earthy, fruity one. This fragrance is not really a gourmand in my opinion. There is a slightly gourmand edge to it with the fruit and the caramel, but at its heart is a chypre through and through. I don't find it overly sweet either, but it has quite a sweet base, so it's not one for any one who dislikes some sweetness. Medium sillage and excellent longevity give this perfume bonus points from me. And it has a very classy yet simple bottle. Overall this is great quality, and not too expensive. Very much worth a try.

Honestly, I have some troubles with this perfume. It is very sweet fruitchouli at first, a higher quality and just a little bit more refines version of many-many celebrity scents that are marketed for young girls. However, the patchouli becomes very dominant in it on my skin that saves it from being a boring candy-sweet scent and after it dries down the chypre qualities come out more dominantly, at this stage i find some similarities with Avon's Passion Dance, also in terms of being a little bit masculine but at least unisex in the very last hours of the drydown. What I highly appreciate in it is taht it has many layers and moods: sweet, fruity, fruitchouli, floral gourmand, woody, chypre..... that said, my troubles come from this multifaceted-ness, too, I just don't know how to put this fragrance and how to deal with it on its own. On the other hand, it can be a very nice layerng tool due to this versatility, I can imagine this to layer with fruity-florals, florientals, gourmands, etc....

J'Aime is a gorgeous fruity floral that satisfies my sweet scent obsession! It's very cold in Michigan, and this is overly floral/jasmine, but a soft sweet creamy jasmine that has average potency/silage. Caramel is my fave note (so is praline) and I don't exactly detect that note, but this is well made and changes as you wear it. On my skin I get the patchouli- which I don't like but love it on my skin with this scent. On my clothes I get the jasmine... but overall I get sweet whiffs of awesome, so I'm very happy. There was a time when it smelled just like Oriens (Van Cleef and Arpels) but while Oriens is a dark burgundy, this is a lovely pink mauve. I don't get spice or similarities to Black XS for Her (which I love). I get a vibe like La Vie Est Belle/Oriens. This is a mature sweet scent, along the lines of Pour Femme by Dolce & Gabbana. I'm glad this isn't heavy on the patchouli, or like Euphoria (ick). It's a win! Not a fave, or a Top 10, but I'm thrilled with this blind buy.

this brings back so many memories. my best friend who moved used to wear this scent all the time. it reminds me so much of her. ive always loved this scent but never wanted to buy it because i didnt want to copy her. but now i came across this and am definitely thinking of buying it. its such a sensual sweet fragrance. the pepper note is quiet detectable, which gives the fragrance a spicy note to it. i remember the floral notes mostly the orchid and strong litchi in the opening, which makes the fragrance very feminine and sweet. the drydown is patchouli and vanilla mostly. it definitely fits the la perla brand as it is such a sexy perfume. One more reason why i really like this is that its not overly popular and people will not know straight away what im wearing. this is definitely a big advantage for me personally as i want a scent thats original and unique from the rest since scents are very personal.

to me it smells a lot like Miss Dior Cherie(the new version)they are both sweet,chypre and full of red berries. in fact I'm noticing that I like most of La Perla perfumes.I already have j'aime la nuit and today I got my bottle of diviina and got a chance to smell this one,which smells great as well. backing to the perfume,it starts sweet and fresh and ends with dominant chypre,patchouli notes.caramel is always there,making it feminine and adorable.I can't say whether I like this one or j'aime la nuit more,but I can say this one is more sweet,chypre,while j'aime la nuit has some dominant woody notes.but they're both Italian style,that I admire in perfumes. ...and forgot to say long lasting power and sillage was very good on my skin.
