I am woefully afraid. I was expecting something fearful so when Jouir De arrived I opened it with care and held it at what I felt was a safe distance and took a tentative whiff...
The reason I am woefully afraid is that, in the face of countless reviews, I like it
I found that it takes very little (no surprise I'm sure) and it is very strong and that little bit goes a long way. Once it dries down it's fantastically sweet and the musks, honey, amber and orchid are very distinct, I can even pick up the vanilla. I've found that it layers well with the Like A Magnet, (sugared vanilla & honey which, for me, I found hard to bear because it was so much like baby powder to me ). The musk, amber, orchid, honey and vanilla cover that baby powdery "eck" and brings out the sugared honey and vanilla I believe was meant to be! That's VERY exciting for me because I was checking out the trading post here because I didn't believe I'd be able to keep the LAM 'cause the whole baby powder in the nose thing was KILLING me
So NOOOOW, I'm wondering...So, it smells good to me but that's just me. What about everyone else I'm around? By the consensus here, I will have to take the embarrassing chance of wearing it out to see just how awful the reactions of others may be...or not??? Hubby isn't jumping to get away from me tonight yet, lol. Will update if that changes.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and at least put forth that I like it, quite a bit even, and have possibilities planned for it already
