Jade

Yardley Jade is mouthwateringly good - I prefer it to Cristalle. Try layering a cheap EDT like this with a pricier EDP from the same scent family e.g. I love one spritz of Miss Dior Le Parfum spread between pulse points, then spritz all over with Jade and use Jade to top up during day - both scents are chypre-florals. I think I have found my perfume nirvana!

This is a summertime beauty. An amazing Cristalle dupe that, on my skin, lasts much longer than Chanel's EdT. Oakmossy goodness, powdery galbanum, with bergamot and flowers faintly in the background. Perfectly inoffensive, smells luxurious and expensive whilst being relatively cheap in price. Great for Mediterranean summer.

Oh, this Jade is hugely similar but better than Christalle. I love Chanel, but I think that Jade is by far more velvety, if that makes sense. There is no harshness. And I love the reasonable price, too. I bought it from Boots, without a second of hesitation :-) Lovely xx

Bought this for a song on Amazon due to a recommendation in the forum and I'm so glad I did. I was gifted a big bottle of Cristalle EDT to my 18. or 19. birthday and since then love the scent to death. I'm also very glad that my mom navigated my taste in perfume early on ( I also have big bottle of YSL Paris EDT). But then again, "back" then there weren't many of these super sweet perfumes out there, they were still recognizable as perfume and not to be mistaken for sweets or baked goods. No hating, just observing. The campaign forJade states that a former fragrance - Sea Jade - was the inspiration behind this one. I read somewhere in the forum that Yardley sold the formula of Sea Jade to Guy Laroche who launched it as "J'ai Ose"- and it became a big hit. Now that makes me wonder if the masses still buy perfumes for the brand, not the scent. But I'm babbling. I like Yardley and their soliflores and I like Jade, period. To me it smells like a hybrid of the EDT and EDP of Cristalle. I agree with the velvety part, maybe that's the rose and patchouli? I don't know - thumbs up, Yardley! Cool, green and sophisticated.

This is a nice fresh fragrance as the accords suggest, it’s gently fresh and light. If it stayed the same throughout its short life I would perhaps add it to my collection. But it doesn’t so I won’t. It turns into a soft green tea ish metallic gentleness. Perfectly fine I guess, but no good for me. Hermenia is not miles apart from this nor is 5th ave after 5, which has the same soft metallic coolness. I have given away some fragrances and discovered that oxygen and light age them as we know, but it improves some bottles. Only some though, others it will ruin! After 5 Improved, as did ck be, but only those two.
