Light fairly plain flower scent on my skin. Nice but unremarkable and not my kind of thing, as I'm not a huge wearer of florals. For one of my favorite noses, this formula doesn't do much for me.

I don't get much leather out of Kelly Caleche so perhaps for that reason Rose Ikebana smells very similar to me. I like RI but not enough to plonk down the extra money for it. Maybe the materials...

Golden amber resin, but with distinct powdery notes that age it amazingly and sharp notes that make it almost masculine. Not a combination I like at all

This is a tentative review, as I tried Jour yesterday at Sephora and wanted to think through my reaction. I first sprayed it on a card and thought it smelled luscious, so I put a medium spritz on...

People wear this for summer? Hmmm. I purchased this recently for a good fall and winter fragrance, largely due to the cardamon base note. I love that this starts with a lemon/citrus note, and then...

Body chemistry is a funny thing. I was testing fragrances, and I liked this one and my fiance loved it on the test strip (I think he was disappointed I didn't select this), so when I purchased...

This is a well constructed perfume made with quality materials but it failed to grab me. Osmanthe Yunnan has top notes of peppery citrus and a heart of tea and osmanthus. The osmanthus has a...

Hard to believe this is a Jean Claude Ellena. It doesn't seem to have the transparency of the previous Un Jardins? But perhaps he was trying to move away from that style for Jour. It's also clearly...

True to the eau de cologne genre, eau de mandarine ambrée begins with a rush of bitter orange zest, whose juicy tartness is only intensified by undertones of passionfruit*. The mandarin itself is...

The opening notes are those of vulnerable orange blossoms drenched in iced green tea (which undoubtedly would be what rain is made from in the Ellena's world). Their scent is sweet and cheerful,...

Caleche smells exactly like high end expensive soap with hints of florals, very clean-cut and classy. For a chypre it's rather friendly, the oakmoss doesn't smell too dark and mossy here. Good...

Oy. I really want to like this. I really do. I got a sample of it from Sephora to test. I don't know what it is about my body, but a LOT of fragrances dry down to smell like powder and this is...

I do not know about perfume notes, so I can't say very much there. I know that I don't like vanilla and food scents, and this is NONE of that. I've read that this scent is fig, which sounds about...

24 Faubourg is a very sophisticated white floral, and pleased to report not too ''old school'' like Fracas for example. Pretty buttery gardenia, jasmine, orange blossom, with a citrusy touch and...

L'Ambre des Merveilles is my favorite from the Merveilles line. Perhaps not as creative as the rest but I think it's the most feminine and easy to wear. Nothing complicated, really. Just smooth...

I've always loved Caleche. It's uber sexy vampy and daring. This is a chypre (similar but different to EL Knowing, Clinique Elixir and Lavin's Arpege). But it's more soapy and sandalwood comes...

Notes: daffodil, woody notes.
Opens with iris note of Hiris, but settles on my skin quite differently: as a mixture of multifaceted green notes, but not necessarily iris. Like most modern-day...

To my nose the opening of Jour d'Hermes is very similar to Guerlain's L'Instant, only less sweet and more citrusy. This lasts for approximately two hours and then turns into a banal drydown, sweet,...

I love this scent after the initial spritz, but after 10-15 minutes it devolves into a cheap men's cologne scent. Initially I get sweet, fruity apple notes and a bit of grass. Soon after, all I get...
