Jeunesse

Of the three scents in the Pacific Collection I like this one the most. It actually has some lasting power and sillage, where the other two do not. The opening is a bit synthetic but settles down to a very pleasant berry musky rosy floral scent. I really like the drydown. I don't notice any coconut macaroon note as others have. I think that would ruin this for me. I also don't see this as a particularly "young" fragrance. The opening could be interpreted as being a bit juvenile but I think it quickly moves into a rich maybe not quite sophisticated scent but at least a "grown-up" fragrance none the less.

Smells like the Ispahan Macaron at Laduree. Those who know it, will know what I mean. And likely agree that's a good thing. Exquisitely pretty, but still worldly.x

Today is a big day fragrance-wise. I got my bottle of jeunesse! I'm trying to collect all the Piguet scents, even futur which I have but reminds me of aqua net hairspray. I still like futur tho. Anyway I just tried this and it smells more like peach to me than raspberry but I think that's something with the way I perceive fragrances. I like that it is strong. I can see where someone might compare it to 80's shampoo or some body spray from bath and body works. I mean, I can see that but this is much more rich. I'm going to see how it lasts and if it lasts much. I do think it has a heavy sillage. I just applied 1 spray. And it's loud. I don't know how I feel about this yet. I don't get sour or bitter. Mmmm the top notes were more peachy and now it's full raspberry. Yum. This isn't for everyone. But if you like sweet then I would say try this. Right. Now my favorite Piguet fragrance is Visa, followed by mademoiselle. It's too soon to tell on this. It's not a scrubber and it's not headache inducing. I don't know about the euphoria comparison yet. I'll do a side by side and write about it.

I’m surprised that Jeunesse has such a miserable rating - I mean, 2.95? That’s worse than Chanel Gabrielle and almost as bad as Dior Joy... Tbh Jeunesse is not such a bad scent - it’s a typical fruity floral from the 2010s... Some raspberries, some marshmallows, some nondescript flowers and a tad bit of powdery musk. It’s a soft scent and doesn’t project very far. It’s neither better nor worse than countless similar fragrances that have flooded the market in recent years. I presume that a lot of folks who press the ‘dislike’ button are old fans of the house of Robert Piguet (or Dior, or Chanel, for that matter), who expect the new releases to match their oldies-goldies in terms of strength, projection, originality and the overall impact. However, we must understand that these new fragrances are aimed at girls born at the turn of the millenium, or even younger; girls who wouldn’t be caught dead wearing Fracas or Chanel 5. Times change, tastes change; to each their own.

A very likeable scent. The performance leaves much to be desired. I love pomegranate perfumes like Fragonard's Grenade Pivoine. This is heavier on the pomegranate. This perfume reminds me of Dior's Rouge Trafalgar. Both RT & this have raspberries & black current. I have body sprays that perform better than this, I think this would make a nice gym spray. I get max 3 hours from this spray and it doesn't matter how much you spray. It's a lovely skin scent, cheaper option from Grenade Pivoine & RT which I also own & adore Fragonard's the most. This is not a dupe for either. Musky, raspberry & pomegranate = the main notes. The black current also reminds me of the dry down in Philosophy's Falling In Love which is @ Marshalls for $30 largest bottle. The definition of "Jeunesse" in French = 1. The time of one's youth. 2. Young people. Perfect scent for a middle schooler, a very safe blind buy for a young person. $70 from Fragrancenet.
