Romantic sunbathing on the powdered sugar sand beach
◙ Head note:
Lime, heliotrope

◙ Heart note:
Carnation, cotton candy, mace

◙ Base note:
Vanillin, tonka, amber, sugar, roasted almond, cedar, a touch of eugenol
________________________________________________________________________________________
◙ Range intensity (projection & sillage):
(6 of 10) average

◙ History:
It starts with citric, lime-skinned tones, which disappear within 3-5 minutes after spraying. Then the full body of the fragrance opens with its iridescent and spicy vanilla tones. The base, which develops after many hours, remains on the skin of the wearer like a coating of sugar icing.
The sweetness increases even more as the fragrance progresses. The citric nuances give way quite quickly and make room for the spicy-dry carnation, which somewhat displaces the vanilla.
As the fragrance progresses, however, the vanilla catches up with the clove tones, leaving a somewhat floral, sun creamy biscuit scent in the base. With this the fragrance also fades away.

◙ Endurance:
Plenty. 5 hours + and vanilla reverberation that lasts many hours longer.

◙ Flacon & exterior design:
Flacon quite nicely designed with elliptical basic structure and contrasting edges.
Cover sits very tight and clicks strongly when snapped in. But it is made of plastic, which still feels valuable. A kind of blue plastic cabochon is attached to the lid.
Packaging consists of cardboard and has a metallic silver embossed lettering.
Presentation and concept quite simple in pale metallic blue.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________br />
◙ Description:
All possible and conceivable vanilla nuances come together here. Light vanilla, dark vanilla, powdery vanilla, baking vanilla, synthetic vanilla, tart vanilla, sweet vanilla, dry vanilla, fresh green vanilla, roasted vanilla, spicy vanilla, fresh vanilla, pudding vanilla, coconut vanilla, bourbon vanilla, Madagascar vanilla, vanilla fudge, caramel vanilla, etc.
Icing sugar and the scent of biscuits join in and light floral body lotion tones pass by.

An inner image is built up in thoughts of a happy family with small children playing around on a large cotton blanket on a wide sandy beach. The sun is already slightly near the horizon and the warm orange tones have coloured the clouds and the sky. The children point to the sky and say that the angels are baking cookies. The parents are happy about it and hug each other tenderly and look at the sea. The large masses of fine powdery sand are illuminated by the reddening sun and a golden play of colours appears.
The suntan lotion is put back into the bast picnic basket and an adherent drop is spread on her husband's forehead. It was a wonderful day at the beach Sitting in the car on the way back, the mother takes a few rolled apple pancakes filled with custard out of the basket and gives them to the children.
In principle a fragrance for the whole family.
◙ Occasion:
Free time, Day at the beach, Sunbathing, Outdoor pool, Picnic, Cuddle hour, Family outing, Coffee klatch

◙ Season:
A summer scent for me, midsummer. This because of the cosmetic vanilla scent, which reminds of sunbathing and sun milk. Others classify it in the Advent and Christmas season, which is also possible.

◙ Age recommendation:
Even suitable for children. For all age groups and also sexes.
◙ Similare & Scent Twins:
none known

◙ Associations:
Beach holiday, vanilla, pastry, sun milk, biscuit

◙ Other:
Family fragrance reminiscent of fine, luxurious sun milk with vanilla extract.

Did Jaipur, the magnificent Indian Pink City get equally magnificent perfume version? YES...
Jaipur Homme is a beautiful hidden, and perfectly cut perfume diamond made by Annick Menardo.
Annick Menardo is one of my favorite perfumers. Her every perfume tells a story, and Jaipur is a fairy tale. Almost too good to be true.
Jaipur opens up with soft Indian citrus fruits and then cardamom. The sunny Oriental refreshment is soon followed by cinnamon storm with benzoin lightings. Carnation in the middle gives some serious old school vibe, while rose and jasmine a fragile romantic heart. Tonka and vanilla are both responsible for the almost gourmand sweetness, but never becoming a true gourmand. I also feel the heliotrope which always livens up vanilla heavyweight perfumes. Behind this benzoin wall I sense some apricot and tobacco Southern sweetness.
Jaipur shares some similarities with Givenchy Pi, but while Pi is a good scent Jaipur is a great perfume. Additionally, I sense the same benzoin theme shared with Menardo's Body Kouros.
At the beginning Jaipur does possess some good old school qualities, associated with wealth and power. Oriental, but very clean (Nivea cream accord!!). Soon, it becomes more personal, gentle and balmy. Beautifully structured from top to base. Like it was covered with virtual star dust. Great idea materialized in Oriental golden drops. Often we look for something great on far more expensive places. No need, while Jaipur is here. In the example of Jaipur, useless is a classic designer / niche dichotomy.
Rating: 10/10

Warning: You Might Not Like This (Even if it seems like everyone else does...)
A spicy, floral powder bomb. Well-composed, but take the glowing reviews with a grain of salt. I find this extremely powdery, formal, and opulent to the point that I'm not comfortable wearing it. It also smells very feminine to my nose, particularly concerning the use of florals and their relation to the powder. If you love a good floriental, this will be right up your alley. However, while people rave about the beautiful vanilla dry down (especially in the EDP), keep in mind these other things I just mentioned before buying it blindly. Good fragrance but totally not my style and I think the casual, younger man may not like this at all.

The EDP is dense, rich and more focused on vanilla.

The EDT is spicier, lighter, develops more, and delivers a brighter heliotrope. In my opinion, it's much more interesting, and maybe even a bit more masculine.

Metrosexual before Metrosexual even existed
Not a good first impression: the cheap-looking plastic cap falls into three parts when first opened. Whew! I haven't had it yet either. Well, time to have a look at the cap. And once again I realize that one should distinguish between: a) quality plastic or b) cheap plastic. Other manufacturers get other qualities for 25 Euro - Boucheron seems not to succeed. Then the equation that more money would be pumped from the production costs into the perfume, one can hope - this has not always been true for me in the past! My visual statement about flacon design: stuck in the late 80s. It can stand for everything, but it doesn't set any accents that are worth remembering.
The "Jaïpur homme" is a recommendation blind purchase, which I like to do in this price range, and a very strange one at that, because I could not smell it at first. Whoops, what's going on there?! Okay, after all, a boldly loud citrus bergamot scent, a scent I find extremely difficult to deal with, just like my (admittedly rather platitudinous) motto: citrus scents belong in cleaning products for the bathroom, in lollipops and maybe even in fine cocktails (then please in rye sour! Please! Thank you!). But I don't want to smell like that!
But after the head-citrus prelude nothing came. So we went to Parfumo and were astonished what the community from the "Jaïpur homme" could smell. On my skin it's just an indefinable, soft tangle of sweet feminine scents, no twist or other nice twist that captivates me. Nope!
My extremely unprofessional, philistine trick, which I like to do in such cases, is to hold a hair dryer on the skin and thus anticipate a temporal development in time lapse. This made the "Jaïpur homme" blossom a bit: a few Christmas spices were visible, everything was kept discreet, the foamy sugar smell was like white meringue, always quite elegant, hardly any screaming, the citrus notes hardly noticeable. There is no thought of a down-to-earth Jacques Bogart club - the Jaïpur thinks it is better - but in the end it is not, because it lacks that certain spark. His appearance is also a false Fuffziger: he wants to be upper class, but can only deliver a cheap cap that immediately disintegrates. And yet: he is unique and quiet. I like that. I count the "Jaïpur homme" among the few so-called "infrasound fragrances" (© by ThomC), which subconsciously olfactorically waft in front of you. Those that one feels rather than smells and still take up space. Ferrari's grandiose "Amber Essence" for example is one of those, but more about that sometime.
And yet I wonder how and when I should wear the Jaïpur? It seems more feminine than masculine, it is not even unisex by my definition. I'll probably have to learn this fragrance for some time - or forget it again. Difficult in a time when I'm currently celebrating the old warhorses from the 70s.

The best oriental fragrance for men I know
For a long time I was not interested in oriental fragrances, until I met Boucheron Jaipur.

It is warm and sweet. The "citrus" opening is discreet, then the spices (cinnamon !) and resin are durably in the foreground without being agressive. There is a background of floral and woody notes. It is oriental but without "pepper", it remains highly civilized (Jaipur, not the jungle).

Longevity and sillage are really good in the EDT and excellent in the EDP.

If you want something original for next Fall and Winter, try this one.
It will warm you up !

An excellent oriental composition in almost every sense of the word, it's woody without being vexatious, and spicy without muting the others

Very similar to the EDP with a less strong sweet almond accord (heliotrope) and with critus on top. I prefer the density of the EDP though.
