Hello my dear readers!
Of course, none of us smelled aristocrats :-)) It's just such a figurative expression. By it we all mean something luxurious, complex in defining the pyramid, without peeping into the description, deep ...
And every day, in different weather and mood, such aromas are revealed in different ways. But it’s impossible to come off. There is something special, magical in them, for a few minutes you become inadequate - you want to dive right into them. True, the cost of such luxurious perfumes is sobering well.
However, I found a very expensive-sounding fragrance for an adequate price, which, not only for me, even for my friends, is difficult to part with. They tortured me with questions about the fragrance, where I bought it, probably expensive luxury and stuff like that.
Jean Patou Joy Forever has been a fragrance for more than 7 years, and it does not lose its status in sound. Jean Patou is an interesting brand, during the Great Depression, when the people did not have money for bread, three fragrances were released under this brand. They cost like a cast iron bridge for that time. Believe it or not, they sold out, and the fashion house itself felt very good in those years. Some kind of surrealism.
All Jean Patou fragrances are complex, luxurious, with excesses. But Joy Forever is the best in terms of price / durability / sound ratio.
This is a real perfume for an aristocrat. Sits quietly on the skin, does not trail off the distant lands. But this luxury is felt by everyone who is at arm's length from you.
Pyramid
Top notes: bergamot, galbanum, mandarin
Heart notes: peach, calendula, jasmine, orange blossom, rose, orris root
Base notes: sandalwood, white musk, cedar, amber
Believe it or not, after a month of opium acquaintance with this fragrance, you feel everything that is stated in the pyramid. Especially fresh and juicy peaches with garden rose and jasmine.
It sounds so rich and feminine at the same time. Then on some days you catch apple notes, violets, orange juice. It’s like I’ve entered a boutique, where they’ll be treated to orange and peach fresh juice, and a meter away from you there’s a flower shop.
The fragrance sits quietly on the skin, and does not leave you for so long. The persistence is very good: in the daytime - one zilch, and in the evening you can already feel a soft base - something creamy-tart and sandalwood.
Everything is velvety-floral, a little herbs, a lot of fruits. But not chymotic fruits, and no excess sugar. Rather, this sweetness can be described as "fruity". How I chopped fresh peaches, apples, oranges and left everything in the kitchen - a delicate fruity smell. Not sweeter than cake.
I'm afraid that if you like it, then you will be a fan of it! :-) Luxurious fragrance for a girl who does not like to show off and "sound" luxury. It is for those who just love luxury and are not going to inform the whole world about it with a suffocating train.
