Jubilee Bouquet

A beautiful green chypre, very pleasant indeed. The opening, sparkling with bergamot and chamomile, is extremely refined and elegant. Then it develops into a beautiful sporty-elegant fragrance, one that Her Majesty Elizabeth II would wear at Ascot, on a sporty venue that commands a certain elegance, both formal and innate. Flowers and woods embrace in a lovely heart note that brings you to the promise of the drydown in a beautiful way. As it lingers on the skin, Silver Jubilee becomes deeper and woodier, it gains a certain powderiness but remaining very aromatic and sort of vigorous, it's not a soft baby talcum powderiness, more than a fresh powderiness. Yes, I understand this may seem an oxymoron, a paradox, but it's not. It's just that this scent is multilayered, multidmensional and therefore it's fine in every season, on every occasion, whenever you want to be elegant in a subdued, regal way. EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL

Update: I even love it more every day:)I must say I have to give reviewer Juliette a point: "respectability in a bottle, a scent created for Victorians" sounds to me even more what I was longing for in this floral chypre! Yes our olfactory impressions are different, and that 's good ! For me the perfume even has an erotic feeling, bur more of a cold, brilliant , untouchable Victorian beauty and in the drydown for me the notes sandalwood, ylang and musk give the creation a clirring sensation, yes now it is warming up and gives the erotic clue of that insurmountable beauty:) I will buy that one again and again..

I ve finally found it: MY floral chypre!:) To me it is everything I have ever dreamed of a chypre to be: classy, highly natural smelling, mossy, chique, royal, embracing, floral powdery without being sweet...just a lovely fresh and high class bouquet of my most beloved flowers!And that combining with tho oakmoss and the balmy sandalwood.. Great stuff, evokes impetuous childhood memories. Just a feel happy perfume I longed for and it's sure for every day use.. give it a try if you love floral chypres without being old nanny-stuff.

I have the vintage of this with the glass stopper and it is unlike anything else that I own. Lovely. Green green green in the top with a little oakmoss and some sweetness then it dries down a bit soapy but with an edge and the softness of violets and sharpness of rose. I do not like many chypres because they are overdone on the oakmoss. This is a supporting player that is balanced just right. A blind buy love.

To me it smells like cold cream stored in a florist's fridge. Divine.
