Jus d’Amour

I really do love this fragrance. I had a full bottle in my closet and forgot about it. It is basically gone just a tiny, very dark, amount. I pulled it out and layered it with sweetly known by kerosene. And WOW thats a beautiful combination!! My old spray bottle is now totally gone, so im going to order the oil right now!!!!

I've been enjoying this one, I have a sample of the perfume oil, a little goes a long way. It could easily be worn by men or women, definitely not a sweet gourmand, but a softer vanilla. My first impression when I put it on is woody ash... not exactly cigarette ash, but reminiscent of that. Weirdly, that's not a bad thing, I suppose it's the mix of sandalwood and cashmere wood with whatever floral/green notes they've included all blended nicely that I couldn't pick one of those out from the list if I tried. It dries down nicely and the ashy-ness fades to a soft dusty vanilla. It sticks around on my skin for 4 hours or so.

Jus d'Amour (or the "juice of love") is not the only Parfums Mercedes scent released. LEGEND (inspired by and having an image of a boxing legend inside the label) is a great "male" woody aquatic, and SASSY is quite nice, as well (and my Mom's fave of the line) and nothing like the perfume of the same name from mark. (Avon sister company) Mercedes is an amazing person, and her perfumes blur that thin line between "mass-market/designer" and "niche/artsy" and are totally affordable AND last for a really long time! She is a great singer too! :-) I have this in the perfumed oil...and its most excellent and soooo sexy!

This is nice but nothing spectacular. I don't love it, don't hate it. Just an okay/like. It goes on almost an almond scent due to the sharpness of the greens and violet with the vanilla. The cashmere definitely takes center stage with the violet and vanilla and green supporting. It smells sort of synthetic with that tickle in the back of your throat. It almost reminds me of almond and fig leaf together. That's the effect you would get.

A planty and wearable vanilla! It's super soft and close to the skin. Reminds me a little bit of Diptyque Eau Duelle but they are not dupes.
