Invigorating Spiciness
This is my least favourite of the three Jeanne D'Urfe fragrances I've tried. (Giselle and Garance are the other two.) It smells strongly of alcohol when you first spray it, and it dries into a weak spicy fruity fragrance. (I only smell ginger, cinnamon, lemon and sandalwood out of all the notes listed.) There's also a funny chemical smell on drydown. That funny unidentified smell (possibly something in the base ingredients)keeps me from loving this, but it could also have to do with my body chemistry. I'm going to try layering this with Garance or another fragrance to try to disguise that odd smell. It's still perfectly wearable, and, as always, it might be right up someone else's alley.
I think Jeanne D'Urfe fragrances seem to be targeted toward daytime wear (with only Giselle having potential for evening wear), and this one fits that mould. The spices make this invigorating and uplifting, and being an edt, it has limited sillage and longevity. (However, they're the cheapest fragrances I know, so you can't really complain).
If you like spicy fragrances, you might want to give this a go. I paid less than £2 for 50 ml, so it's worth a blind buy.
