Jour (Vivage)

19. october 2014 Just have recieved it in the post: still sealed, unused, never sprayed or opened boxed 50ml spray bottle of this beauty. I have seen it occasionally in ebay but never was intrigued enough to buy this perfume for the price they sell it. So when i had a chance to grab it quite reasonably priced i used my chance. Upon spraying 1 time onto my wrist i was instantly struck by it ́s beauty and i knew 100% that i have smelled it before already. The smell was so familiar, something i love very much and use a lot but i just couldn ́t put my finger on the doppelgänger of this little number. Until i have opened Fragrantica site and upon seeing the first notes - lilac and lily, i knew was was the original scent that Feraud reminds me of - a great classic and one of my most loved ones "anais anais" by Cacharel! The original vintage edition. These 2 perfumes have few years apart but almost identical, however Anais Anais is bit more potent and bit more bitter to my nose ( i have never experienced the "powder" in the vintage anais anais as some have mentioned) . This is another typical 80 ́s fresh flowery girly scent a we would call it and it is not bad at all. But since i can get a vintage Anais Anais for a steal it is not necessary for me to hunt another backup bottle of "Jour de Feraud". I am very much pleased with my purchase and wearing it today just reminded me of how much i love the Anais and the springtime feeling it gives me while wearing it (blooming lilac). Great one, and those one s of you who can ́t get a Feraud - never mind, just go for the vintage Anais Anais or the modern re-release "Anais Anais L ́original" which is like it ́s original version.

to me, this smells like a hyacinth fragrance; a lovely, soapy floral aldehyde that reminds me a bit of Woods of Windsor Bluebell

A sunny floral with modest performance. V. doesn't smell like lilac, rather more like honeysuckle. Reminds a bit of the vintage Avon honeysuckle perfume. Feminine and work safe.

Anais Anais, Giorgio Beverley Hills & Gloria Vanderbilt had a live child and this was it. Lovely.
