Un Jour a St-Jean-de Luz

This is just lovely. First the French site isn't too bad if you've got a tiny bit of French under your belt or use Google's page translation feature (Chrome does this for you, it's not 100% but it helps). I didn't have any issues at all with ordering. Shipping was really quite quick coming from Europe and they included a few samples and a lovely handwritten note thanking me for buying from them. My normal perfumes are things like Coromandel. Two sprays and I'm leaving a scent trail behind me all day, more and I'm making people choke. This is far lighter, so you can safely spritz away. It opens very much like a holiday cloved orange. Bright, and fresh, and mulled. Spices and juicy citrus fruit. As it dries down it starts to smell like the scent left behind in the kitchen after a holiday baking extravaganza. Warm, spiced, yummy, not too sweet. Dusty spices, a warm oven. Extremely cozy and enjoyable. Is it a show stopper? No. But it is so perfect for what it is that I'll probably set it out all by itself and wear it all December.

I can't believe I never reviewed this extraordinary perfume. To me it opens with a dry balsa and cinnamon scent, then evolves into a warm fireplace scent, then into a lovely incense that reminds me of an old Byzantine church. It then evolves into what a previous reviewer said: orange studded with cloves, and I also find in the background there's a warm brick kitchen with gingerbread baking in the oven. For those inquiring, you can buy these at select stores in France (listed on the perfumer's website) or buy directly from the perfumer's online website store.

This is a festive MUST for all gourmie lovers! There's a bright, uplifting citrus up top that keeps it light and wearable. Comforting, cosy and delicious - for me it conjures up the aromas of Christmas past perfectly. It would make a phenomenal Christmas candle/room spray...in fact, I might spray my wrapping paper with it if I'm feeling fancy. The website is clunky as hell and I didn't even receive shipping notification, so was pleasantly surprised when it arrived this morning. Only took a few days to be delivered to the UK.

This is my favorite winter perfume. Nothing is more comforting to me, the cinnamon, cloves, orange and spices are like the kitchen during the holidays, it makes me feel good. It lasts forever on me. The only down side is the customer service and website for this house. It is outside of a miracle to place an order, and forget getting them to reply via email. I have tried to buy fragrance from them repeatedly and the website goes down, or texts go unanswered always. Such a shame for such great perfume.

Sweet oranges - not sharp, cinnamon and cloves but not too peppery, marzipan but not too sweet.. Almonds but no bitterness; honey but no sharpness. This smells like British Christmas baking to me. Christmas pudding, mincemeat tarts, Christmas cake. Not one to normally purchase back-up bottles but I made an exception here. I wear this fragrance almost every night in the winter.

I gave my review of this perfume a couple years ago and mentioned that it was difficult to get in touch with the site to purchase it. I'm glad to report that I ordered a backup bottle from the site and received it in less than a week! The scent is still as amazing as the original bottle I have and if you are looking for a nice holiday scent, this is it.

I got this in a split on this site and received it last night. It will take a bit to figure this one out. The scent I get from this right now is a cornucopia of Holiday smells. Right away it was the scent of a clove studded orange, then gingerbread, sweet and ginger mixed together. A very comforting perfume. This will put you in a festive mood.

A UK Christmas in a bottle. More so than anything I’ve smelled, including the Merchant of Venice Arabesque. And it’s a quarter of the price. The sweet smell of clementines on Christmas morning mixing with the warm fruity spice of figgy Christmas pudding and sweet Brandy butter.

This is potent and projects a lot, 2 sprays and you’re done for the entire day. It smells like a Chistmas pudding. If you remember those cinamon bubble gums it smells like that. In the very drydown you are left with an incency vanilla. Very unique if you like spicy gourmands

This is a strictly November/December, Christmas scent. Cinnamon, orange zest, punch, ginger, cloves. I wouldn‘t know at what other time of the year to wear it. I‘ve never smelled anything like this.

This is truly a gem. Thank you to those who have suggested it in the forums as it encompasses the spices I wanted without being overpowering. I love it.

amazing fragrance Strong cinnamon,ginger with macarons and vannilla, sweet but not sickly

In.cre.di.ble. It literally smells like walking around on a Christmas Market. All of the other comments are right, you really can smell each note in the pyramid. Although not in the note breakdown, I find that it has a strong peppery / clove-y quality to it, which I adore. It reminds me of the scent of the summer vacation spent at my Grandma’s in Brittany when I was a child. Don’t expect something super sweet and cloying because that’s not what it is at all. This is an atmospheric perfume, a delicious gourmand but not only. Literally the best cinnamon fragrance I have ever tried and the only one that has been able to meet my expectations and standards of what cinnamon in perfumery should smell like. It’s unlike anything I have smelled before and is definitely a very unique fragrance. Absolutely underrated. It’s also very strong; half a spray on my wrist projected very well for a few hours. A full spray will be far more than enough ! I would say it’s blind buy safe if you’re into cinnamon centric fragrances that veer into gourmand territory. Very unisex too and could be used both on the body or as a room spray. Lasts forever on clothes.

I find this to be a very different, original gourmand. It has lots of ginger and cinnamon, an average amount of vanilla, a little tiny bit of coconut. Kind of sweet but mostly sweet-spicy. This strongly reminds me of Christmas, almost like those cinnamon brooms you hang on the back of your door. This perfume is quite strong and pretty long lasting. I already have plans to wear this the entire month of December. Edit to add - also, I'm surprised I didn't put this in my review in the first place, the opening smells kind of like bubble gum. Like ginger and bubble gum. From the notes it looks like there is a lot of citrus in the top notes, I don't feel like I'm getting citrus but that might be what is creating this vibe. Overall a unique perfume.

One of the best there is. This is truly a FUN perfume to wear - it evolves through all the notes. Gingerbread! Cloves! Orange! Cinnamon! Marzipan! Honey! Almonds! Cookies! You're inside a warm kitchen, then in front of a toasty hearth, then inside a cathedral, then eating candy with Hansel & Gretel... This perfume takes you on an adventure.

This is a fun festive scent that reminds me of walking into a Christmas craft fair with all of the baked goods and candles and Christmas wreaths. Fun scent that I might only wear a handful of times around Christmas. Won't be buying a full bottle but will keep my sample.

Gorgeous scent: Ginger Biscuit by Jo Malone comes not even close to the elegance and deliciousness of this parfum. This is truly Christmas in a bottle. The first 10 minutes are very clovey-citrusey, so I was afraid I would not like it, but after that, it al blends and fuses seamlessly on the skin and creates a gourmand, festive, gingerbread like perfection. The tin bottle is very nice, the hand written card adds even more flair to the whole experience. I purchased on the official website and also got 4 delicious testers, which I ALL like! What are the odds? This house should be more praised and known in the fragrance world. I know for sure that I will keep on ordering there! Love, love, love!

If you are looking for a signature scent for the holiday season this it is!! For me it the orange notes that grab me first, but it's not a crisp clean citrus - it's warmed by the cinnamon and ginger. I agree with others, it is sweet but well balanced and not at all sickly. Absolutely my choice of fragrance for Christmas even here in OZ where Christmas is all about the sun! Who doesn't think oranges on a hot day :) Oh and I had no problems buying online from the parfumerie's website. Shipped to Australia with no issues and even arrived with some lovely surprise samples :)

Fruit-forward wine, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, orange zest, and a dash of brandy. It smells like a delicious mulled wine or spiced kompot. Very Christmas-ey and festive. If that sounds nice to you, then I highly recommend this as a safe blind buy. Must have for the holidays! Projection is moderate and it lasts fairly decently. I ordered from Canada using Google translate on the website. No issues. Did not receive tracking, but it came within three weeks.

I wrote maybe 3 or 4 times to Parfums et Senteurs du Pays Basque, the adress on their website. I like to buy their perfumes but try some first, would like to pay for the samples. But they never answered. That is behond unpolite. It is free advertisement for them when i could share my (most of the time) positive testings...

I was messing around looking up notes and found this House and now? I need them all!!! Do they sell anywhere in the US?? 😔 finally find something different and decent prices!! and sadly, not sold in my newly facist country?? ... 😭 get me out of here 🆘 the US 🤷♀️

I would love to try this but can’t get it sent to where I live in the US. Anyone with suggestions? Thank you!
