mark Jewel

If anyone told you Jewel smells like Caress's exfoliating brown sugar body wash, it does not. Although, I can see how they may compliment one another, it is not the same scent if that's what you're looking for. The more I wear it, the more I like it. Soft. I consider it a vanilla with an uplifting upgrade. If this is considered a "gourmand" then I would say it is on the lighter side of them, Jewel is not a heavy scent at all. An inoffensive perfume, I prefer it for day wear. I find it to be casual but confident. I only smelled the fruit notes in the initial spritz and found them to fade very quickly on my skin. The dry down is pleasant, warm yet airy. Besides the floral note, the choice of a lighter wood adds to the airiness which I think gives Jewel a unique touch. I found the vanilla used in Jewel to be on the exotic side more in line with a fresh vanilla bean than a frosted cupcake. Medium sillage, may need to be re-applied. Unfortunately discontinued. This is my SO's favorite scent on me which is like salt to the wound.

The kind of perfume that melds with one's skin and becomes extraordinary. Warm succulent vanilla caramel. But sophisticated and special. This is no one dimensional teen 1990s vanilla or toffee scented body spray. There is a kick in there that makes it super sophisticated and even glamorous. I can see Gina Carungi, the first super model, wearing this in the 80s. There is aldehydes in there? Agree with Alona. The scent chart says no, but... Just a gorgeous scent. I used every last drop. Unfortunately I brought it to work and everyone would borrow it, so many compliments.

I truly regretted gifting this to my little sister, it is such a beautifully composed scent. You can really smell the caramel surround you with wafts of lightly scented flowers. It does remind of me of Prada Candy but they're are more like cousin who than sisters, they both have distinctions that set them apart. While Prada Candy is a sweet leathery goodness, Mark Jewel is warm, toasty and just as mature. I can even smell the scent on my clothes a few days later, so I'd imagine it's a long lasting scent.

Why do my reviews keep disappearing? I am 34 and received this on a swap and loved it to death. While trying to down size my perfume collection odecided to sell it on ebay. I have had sellers remorse ever sense, I want it back very badly. I miss this lovely sweet scent.

The bottle is FABULOUS!!! God it's stunning!!! I would love this perfume JUST for the bottle, if I didn't love it for itself; which I DO wholeheartedly! It's a wonderful perfume. Delicious notes perfectly gorgeously blended into a dream!!! I adore it!!!

I love this one. Not much vanilla or caramel comes through for me, but a delicious blend of mostly floral and wood. This lasts all day. The bottle is cute (it looks like an inkwell), but the cap isn't very secure. I love love love this one.

Sweet, warm, feminine but not tweenie thanks to the Lily. I'm not smelling any similarity between this and JS fancy at all.Jewel is more mature and well rounded. Sillage & lasting power could be better though...wish it came in edp.

This is one of my favorite mark perfumes. It is so young and full of sweet caramel. Mine came with a lotion and I really love it!

I love this perfume. The bottle is cute and the fragrance is just.. warm

*magalog description from mark.* "A blend of irresistible femininity and sweet seduction. Luscious fruits and sensual casablanca lily mingle with amorous macchiato, liquid caramel and warm vanilla for a scent that is as decadent as it is captivating. JEWEL makes an impression that lasts long after you are gone..." This scent is the one that has been around longer than any other mark. fragrance. Most of this company's releases are "fragrance mists", JEWEL is a true eau de toilette. This starts with a typical fruity accord, rather non-specific and sweetly generic like many other modern scents labelled "for her". So I was not all that impressed...until a gorgeous creamy lily materialized in front of me from the fruit stand. This scent went (in under 15 minutes) from "meh" to "Oh YEAH"! This is not a pollen dripping stargazer, or your mother's Easter lily; this is a lily that grows wild, heady and full of life. In one description, macchiato FLOWER is listed but to me it is more of an steaming demitasse of espresso topped with foamed milk. Dark, slightly bitter and thick, with a whipped creaminess that balances it well. As it dries down completely, a gooey (but not too sweet) caramel melts into a sensual vanilla. Delicious and oh so rich, floral fruity gourmand is the perfect classification for this fragrance. I am tempted to say Victoria Secret meets ANGEL, but that would a bit of an oversimplification; although it gives you a good "idea" of what JEWEL is: something sweetly fruity then floral, finishing with an almost sinful deliciousness. Sillage: average Longevity: good Overall: 3.75/5 Despite it being "built" on one of the most feminine flowers around and the rather lackluster opening, Jewel is actually something I will definitely wear, and REALLY enjoy. Smooth and creamy, with a darker (but not heavy) finish...coffee and caramel and vanilla: OH MY!! If you are looking for an affordable floral fruity gourmand, look no further. At 22 US dollars for 50ml. (full retail) this is actually quite impressive, as far as projection and duration, and you simply cannot go wrong for that price. Lovely...

I agree with Aiona that this has a very distinctive smell...I remember someone said that this perfume smelled like Christmas to them. I remember when this fragrance first came out and I was smelling it in an Avon advert that was mailed to my house. I couldn't get enough of the smell...it's very unique to me even to me now. It doesn't give me a headache like Britney Spears Fantasy or Aquolina's Pink Sugar...it's more sophisticated. It starts off with red berries, vanilla, and caramel. As the fragrance wears, it still retains the same gourmand-y scent along with the white floral-lily note. Kudos to whoever made this BUT, the longevity is poor. Which sucks, because it works well with my chemistry. I can see myself going through the bottle really quickly, which is kind of depressing. I might see if I can get the Jewel Shine EDP or Mariah Carey Dreams EDP hoping for similarity. If you are on a budget and looking for an amazing fall/winter scent...check it out!

I used this quite often before it was discontinued and liked it but I think my tastes changed. It's still nice but it seems a little over sweet to me now. I think my nose became a little tiered of it years ago and I stopped using it. I sniffed my old bottle recently and said "yum, I'll wear it to bed!" It was as lovely as I remembered it at first but than went all sickly sweet and all I could smell was sugary caramel. Oh well. I'll keep it in my like list.

i bought this on a whim, right after it came out, and i was surprised at how nice it is. B&BW Twilight Woods is quite similar, to my nose, and i like it, too. both are creamy-woodsy-sweet-berry sorts of scents and are very different from so many other things i've tried!

The best things about Jewel is the fact that although this is a rich gourmand, it is NOT sickly sweet at all. This is a very simple fragrance, which I like. Also- the lily partners well with the caramel. A plus- the bottle is really cute~

I have a sample vial distributed by Avon. I really like this. The fruit is like a mild mix of berries and pineapple. The florals are gentle and slightly soapy. The caramel is subtle and blends well with everything else. Not too sweet or food-like. Very nice!

This smells pretty, but to my nose it is a dupe for Bath & Body Works "Warm Vanilla Sugar".....except I can wear and stomach "Jewel"....WVS makes me want to wretch, not sure why. "Jewel" is a soft, sweet scent...cozy, even. Good for really cold weather, I don't think I would wear this in the summertime. My hubby loves this scent, but I'll only wear it for him I think. I am a Pink Sugar girl and can sniff that all day long..but with "Jewel", it is nice to catch wafts of throughout the day but I think if I am not careful I'll be over it fast :S

Ugh! SO NOT me! Remember "Babe" back from the 70s and 80s? If you loved it when you were a kid, THIS IS IT. I'm 40 now and I do NOT want to smell like it any longer! BIG THUMBS-DOWN from me. I'm so glad I sprayed it in the air... outside... on a windy day. I bought the "Hook Up" 5 mL/0.169 oz. size on clearance. HUGE sigh of relief on that one. If my 10 yr. old daughter doesn't like it, it's going straight in the trash.

I had this in my want list for a long time due to the notes sounding very appealing. I had the chance today to smell a tester at a store, and it was awful. There was a plastic smell, and I could not recognize any of the notes listed.

I used to love this scent and I wore it in high school but now I wouldn't dare to wear this! This smells like plastic on me now :(

Just found a new unopened box on eBay for $50!! I can’t wait to start wearing this gem again. I used to wear this quite often. I remember my grandma got it for me like 12 years ago because I wanted viva la juicy but it was too expensive. I had seen that mark jewel had similar notes to viva la juicy so I asked her for it for my birthday. Let’s just say mark jewel is 10000 times better than viva la juicy ever was. I used to get so many compliments on this perfume. It’s a warm sweet fragrance that is in no way cloying. The caramel in this just blends with your natural skin scent so well. I’ve heard people compare this to Prada candy but I much prefer jewel because it’s not powdery. Prada candy turns to baby powder on me. Mark jewel stays warm and sexy from the second you spray it, all the way up until it’s no longer detectable. Uggghhhh it’s so good!!!
