    My mother more this when I was young and I was delighted to be able to find it again. The modern version seems to lack the depth of the original and is lighter, but I love it and it reminds me of sitting at my mother’s dressing table playing with her perfume and make up. Use the body spray as lot as it’s a light and refreshing scent

    I adore Je Reviens! But the perfume version only. The scent is so hyacinthy and narcissy and lovely, with such a sophisticated vanilla dry down — that is nothing like Guerlain. 1932 was a very good year for perfume.

    Je Reviens is a fragrance my mother used to wear. I recall it being quite sweet and intense, and the vintage bottle that arrived today confirmed my memories. The Wedgwood perfume!
    The description of this classic scent mentions aldehydes. Although I’m not usually fond of this type of perfumes, JR really delights my senses. Other reviewers have compared JR to Blue Grass, and I see what they mean. BG is also in my repertoire, as it was in my mother’s. But Blue Grass is far sharper, with deeper notes than Je Reviens. Of the two, I prefer JR.
    The dry down of JR is a powdery sweetness. I find nothing dated or old fashioned about this perfume, cheery and bright seems more fitting. A young woman could wear this as easily as an older one, the sweet notes are appropriate for any age.
    JR is a wonderful scent, I’m glad to have it again.

    My 1.69 oz EDT bottle was sold to me as “vintage” but I can’t find anything on the batch code: JB1141. The box has only 3 ingredients, which is usually a vintage sign? The bottle is like pictured above, black cap, and black plastic “shoulders” and black spray nozzle.
    Anywho– this is DELIGHTFUL! A one-squirt tissue test… light and pleasing! THIS smells like FRESH AIR! It’s not overly soapy, or powdery. Just fresh, clean, a bit fruity/floral. It’s not like anything in my 400+ collection. I have Blue Grass– and I don’t think they are alike. And while it’s clean/soapy/fresh it’s nothing like the aldehydes of No. 5 or Arpege.
    This is fantastic! Effortless clean femininity! I don’t even find it retro or dated. Now, I’m not sure how much I’ll reach for this since I prefer HUGE vintage powerhouses like Shalimar, Habanita, Miss Dior, Bandit, etc… But this is delightful!

    I scored a vintage bottle on Ebay and its lovely, not as sweet and floral as I was expecting. Aldehydes, violets, smoky woods and incense.
    Its very light, but dont be fooled and overdo it, the sillage is huge fir its weight.

    Soapy retro floral. I have a hard time being impartial about this because it has so many memories for me. This was my grandmother’s fragrance of choice, along with L’Air du Temps, and it will always bring her, and the home I lived in when I lived with my grandparents, back to me. It is clearly anachronistic, reminiscent of the big, glamorous florals of the previous age. A fairly large floral bouquet – reminds me of Joy, and Sublime – but buttery, and a bit more restrained. This definitely suited my strong but lady-like grandmother. It seems to me that the quality of the ingredients has gone down from what I remember of it; this new formulation and smells a bit thinner than I remember, especially as it begins to dry down. Unfortunately, it hasn’t held up as well as some of the other fragrances. It’s still a lovely, elegant classic though.

    Vintage Je Reviens is an old-school aldehyde bomb, complex floral, with a touch of spices. Very heady in the drydown. Lovely if it works on you, but I leave this one for history.

    I first smelled this on a friend, and it was beautiful on her. This was back in the early 90s.
    In my recent foray into vintages, I bought a bottle of the edt, likely the newer formulation, because it wad on sale.
    I am not quite sure what to think of it. I like aldehydes, such as blue grass, 5, arpege and others this one is, well just odd.
    I think the original formulation must have been better, because what I have could never have stood the test of time.This one even has a synthetic type of smell, the result of cheaper ingredients.
    I will try this again every so often, to see if I change my mind. Right now, nothing special.
    Too bad, as I was looking forward to what I remembered.

    Like a lightweight version of Joy. Not bad, but very dated.

    There are so many reviews of this, it feels a bit pointless adding another one, but my very elderly aunt just gave me a few old bottles of various scents so I’m working my way through them. The bottle of Je Reviens is the exact same packaging as the one illustrated, but I’ve no idea how old it is.
    It opens with a very pretty violet/Iris top note on me, quite sweet and light. Then it settles to a very restrained gentle floral. It’s light, very feminine, and slightly powdery. There is a clean soapy note coming through after an hour, but it’s not overpowering. I get some spice, but it’s not a sharp spice, it’s tempered by a lovely lavender floral note. It’s really very pretty. I don’t get any citrus notes at all, but that could be due to the age of the bottle I’ve got.
    All in all, a very pleasant and ladylike classic. I’ll definitely be wearing this again.

    My mum was given Je Reviens many years ago, (in the 70’s), by a close friend of hers, who then passed away. My mother didn’t like the fragrance, but I loved it. She wouldn’t let me have it though, I assume she wanted to keep it as a special keep sake. What a waste!
    I remember the scent as clean, powdery and long lasting, so decided to search for a bottle, just recently. Eventually ordered online and when it arrived I was slightly disappointed as the top notes were awful, sharp, alcohol smell, but then it softened into the fragrance I remember and lasts all day!

    I’m lucky enough to have a vintage bottle ( not sure what vintage though ) and it’s beautiful. It starts off quite talcy, which I find many of the classic fragrances do, but then suddenly wham, you are in an English country gearden, very floral and dare I say quite old fashioned but in the nicest way possible. Beautiful and classy, I love this perfume and have decided I will be buying a new bottle to try, hopefully won’t be disappointed.

    i have the modern version-and i have tried to enjoy it–i truly have-but i find it too powdery and sweet-i don’t mind a little orris root-but this is too much.
    i can ‘taste’ the soapy smell-and i can’t ever get rid of it.
    it is just too much….

    I’d like to add a mini extra review after trying Je Reviens in another form. I purchased the pure perfume version at a very reasonable price and although I don’t think it is exactly perfume extrait according to “Paris standards”, it is quite close to the original. the soap is also very nice. The Eau de Toilette is rather harsh.

    I tried to love this, I really did. It was too watered down…nothing special about it all.
    Re formulated. I think so.

    Sometime in the ’60s, I found a small bottle, closed and empty, in an abandoned mansion on St Thomas in the Virgin Islands. The scent lingered in the empty bottle. I noted the name, found it in Paris or New York or someplace. and wore it, as is became my theme for a broken ten year engagement.,Forty years later we reunited and married, yes, I shall return……. drlucille

    This has been a signature fragrance of mine for many years. The perfume is to be covetted; the EDP and EDT don’t tell the whole story (and I’m not alone in that). However the talc and body lotion were also quite lovely.
    For some reason wearing it always brought me good luck! But it was also composed of real ingredients, and I hesitate to try vintage in case it has gone off.
    I also hesitate to try updated versions in case it disappoints.
    Holding out for a miracle…..

    Clean and soapy but not light at all. I wish it smelled more like the original which was something quite special.

    A wonderful, generous Fragrantican sent me a current as well as a vintage (plus other scents!) of Je Reviens. I’m wearing the current formulation. It is a whole lot like Blue Grass but sharper at first and with a buttload of orris and some smokiness. I prefer Blue Grass… despite my love of smoky notes, the carnation and spices really make the scent.

  20. :

    soft, soapy, floral aldehyde; blossoms with a bite; fades fast/does not last; reminds me of Liu but much cheaper! In the middle, the lilac and hyacinth are really present.

    this is a perfume I used to adore. but then something changed. I know the smell of the 1969 version of Je Reviens. It was a very cool smell with a high of floral which I love. The parfum was available then too, and it was a beautiful scent. I wore it on my wedding day, many years ago.
    Then for ages one could not buy it.
    BUT when it was made available again they had ruined it.
    It is like the took the floral out and added chemicals instead of the real flowers.
    I would buy it all the time if it smelt like it used to smell.
    But I have been so disappointed with the “revised” version that I have not returned to what was, once, the ONLY perfume for me. and this perfume has a lot of history for me. Because my then future husband presented me with a bottle of it when he proposed, with the promise that we could pick out the ring the following week if I agreed.
    So if they could please bring out the original authentic version then I would buy that.

    I just received the vintage version in a mini 1/8 oz cobalt blue with gold cap and base bottle. I am surprised by almost medicinal scent – the scent of camphor, and almost an underlying scent of varnish. It is pleasant – and if I were to pick a similar contemporary fragrance, I’d say Eau de Dynamisante by Clarins. They both invoke some secret spa treatment.

    I first heard about Je Reviens through my Mother and her cousin who were talking once about their childhood and growing up years. It was a treasured perfume for them! It has been a classic in the family, especially with our cousin who wears it to this day. My mother gave me a bottle of this that was given to her by her cousin, and said its not as she remembers it. Since she didn’t wear it she gave it to me and I find it the most interesting fragrance.
    I can tell by the comments that this had to be a very different and amazing perfume or EDT. On my skin, I agree with another reviewer that it smells a bit of camphor, or something intense and strong. So much so that I am kind of surprised it is in a perfume! To me, there are very strong and powdery notes, and some floral notes. Very stangely, a part of this reminds me of one of my favorite childhood books, “Pat the Bunny”, when you smell the flowers! I think that might be some carnation in there?
    At first, I sprayed this on my inner wrist. It was very strong, like the drawer where my grandfather kept his Campho Phenique bottle. Don’t get me wrong, it is definitely not just that smell, but the strongest at first. I still liked it alright and wanted to give it a chance. This area lost the scent pretty quickly, in my opinion. So I sprayed it on again, this time inside the middle of the bend of my arm. This lasted much longer and the scent did much “more” there. The medicinal scent never completely left, but the other notes had time to develop before disappearing.
    Here is my biggest question based on all I have seen and what I have experienced with some other beloved fragrances. Why, if people love the old scents so much, WHY don’t they go back to what worked well and made such a lasting impression? Are all the ingredients to the original perfumes we love SO over harvested (or whatever it is) that all we have left are these chemical agents attempting to trick our noses? I even think some sweet old ladies assume it is just their nose, and that their sense of smell changed over time, etc. Forgive my musings, but I am genuinely curious.
    This perfume is one I am so glad to try out. I love that my mother and her cousins have so many memories tied to it. So much so, that I believe I heard that one of them put it into a book she wrote about growing up. I do hope to try the original, or one of the older formulations. I wear this now on occasion when I am in the mood for something very different, but still want to wear something. It does make me feel nostalgic and happy somehow.

    I havet the parfum extract i the round blue bottle, loveley soft feminine fragrance that reminds me of Chanel NO 5 and Arpege but not as harsh on the aldehydes. Perfect daytime fragrance for work

  25. :

    3 out of 5

    Absolutely the best buy for Chanel No. 5 lovers on a budget! Hits some of the same aldehydic notes, albeit a good bit more harshly.
    Back when I was growing up in the 1980s, my mother used to wear this, as well as Youth Dew and Verte de Puig. The nostalgia factor is therefore through the roof!! Un parfum inoubliable auquel je reviendrai <3

  26. :

    Un parfum qui a une histoire inscrite dans son nom et qui est disponible sur les sites de ventes privées à vil prix.
    Un charme suranné éloigné des nouveautés: un brin de nostalgie, une senteur douce, florale et poudrée, la fleur d’oranger qui vous enveloppe et vous caresse, mais aussi le piquant de la bergamote et l’alanguissement des notes de fond.
    Il paraît qu’il est bien pâlot à côté de la version couture, j’aimerais la sentir.
    Pour les tendres, les romantiques, les nostalgiques…

    I think of vintage Je Reviens as a quintessential springtime scent. It is so intriguing because it does not smell like anything else in my wardrobe. The historical associations of Je Reviens contribute my obsession. Its haunting name (I’ll be back) made it a particularly appropriate gift for couples separated during World War II. Its name is uplifting, promising return and rebirth, but it is also sad, since it highlights the absence.
    I have the vintage parfum in the tall blue “skyscraper” bottle and in a small, similarly shaped vintage mini. Je Reviens really is a most remarkable composition of blue and purple floral notes (lilac, iris, violet, hyacinth sing out to me most clearly) with perfectly balanced touches of warm and soft spices (cinnamon? tolu? cloves?) and a cool and dry woody base (lots of vetiver, sandalwood). My rose-lovin’ nose usually latches onto the roses in any complex floral but I don’t smell roses in Je Reviens. There is lots of great orris, some gentle moss, and, truly for once, vetiver. (Vetiver is always listed in perfume notes and I find that I smell it plainly only rarely. In Je Reviens, I do, and I think it is the vetiver that gives Je Reviens its long lasting cool aromatic quality.) Je Reviens feels liquid and cool and shiny…like mercury.
    Sold continuously since 1932, there are a lot of different versions of Je Reviens circulating around, in many differently shaped bottles. The modern EDT (as pictured in the icon photo) is often described as an aldehydic and soapy perfume and evokes comparisons to No. 5 and White Linen. (The vintage parfum I am reviewing does not resemble either of these fragrances.) There is also a reformulated EDP Couture version that has a separate listing here.

    I wore Je Reviens on and off in the early ’80s. I’m sure it read as dowdy and anachronistic, especially on a twenty year old, but I’d never smelled anything quite like it and was taken by its plastic, synthetic beauty. I knew a few floral aldehydes and loved Arpège, Joy and No 5 but I knew nothing about the history of perfume. It would never have occurred to me to consider perfume as the product of an era, though I was aware that my other perfumes, Antaeus and Kouros, were newer.
    What struck me about Je Reviens was that I could break it down and identify some of its qualities. Not notes, but descriptors. The other perfumes I knew existed as complete entities. I could no more easily dissect Joy than I could take apart a marble bust and show you its constituent parts. But I could read Je Reviens. I didn’t have a vocabulary for it, but I could tell that it juxtaposed its elements differently. It was powdery and buttery at the same time. I’m sure the cobalt bottle influenced me, but Je Reviens smelled both blue and yellow without ever mixing to become green. The different qualities fit together but didn’t blend like the bouquets in Arpège and Joy. I found abstraction in perfumery at the same time that I was discovering my proclivity for abstraction in other art forms. I started to think of perfume as a composition.
    I still smell Je Reviens the same way, but I have more context for it. The contrasting qualities still sit next to each other without blending, but now I chalk it up to a particular use of aromachemicals, most likely vintage musks and a famously heavy dose of benzyl salicylate. It still reads as floral, but now I see it as densely woody with a stemmy, watery crispness and a background hint of smoke.
    Je Reviens was released in 1932 and was a precursor to the the green florals and chypres of the ’50s as well as the the metallic ’60s-‘ 70s green florals. Although it comes from the ’30s it has a 1950s sensibility. The delineation of the notes the suits the rigid artifice and cocktail party mentality of the mid ’50s. It is a floral speedball seen through a blur of martinis and amphetamines. The plasticky aromachemicals amp the florals and give a gloss that slurs the speech just a touch.

    Some years back, I bought a 1930s Lalique parfum bottle.
    At some time in its existence, a lady used it for parfum rather-than just display
    Initially, I didn’t know what was the name of the scent in the bottle, but I love it.
    When I finally smelled JR, that, of course, was it.
    I love it and have been fortunate to easily find it in vintage form on eBay.
    It’s just everything that a parfum should be.
    And the name is parfait!

    I just received my order for this and since this is a reformulation the main difference for me is that the longevity is about half what the EDT once was.
    It does not seem to have as much of the citrus top notes as it did in the early 1980’s. It dries down the same as it did per my body chemistry in the past leaving the pleasant clean combination ‘meld’ of narcissus,lilac and hyacinth with the base notes that identify it and remains a great choice (for me) for something to wear to the office or for times when simply wanting to wear a ‘quiet’ pleasant scent.

    Smells better than it looks
    (Not necessarily a good thing)
    Estée Lauder’s ‘White Linen’

    Opens with aldehydes and a creamy sandalwood musky vibe. This is quite powerful, a mature, feminine scent with a very vintage style. After a while it turns a little spicy, more woody, and powdery.

    Feel as if I don’t write so much proper reviews as the impressions they leave on me and the relationship I hold with them. Je Reviens was a lovely find. Love floral aldehyde even when no fan of coughing or sneezing. Hey, many suffer for fashion, just look at what women do to their feet with shoes. This falls into my definition of a cleaner kind of fragrance, something I’d wear to the office. It’s power is in its more universal quality. Je Reviens also has that narcotic narcissus which at first seemed an almost disliked sour to my nose but which now I seek. With a touch of incense there is a dirty clean here, not a White Linen. To many a fume this old is not considered for the fact that it belongs to the early part of last century. To me? That’s a selling point if it has managed to survive the ever-changing times and still be on the market. I’ll spray Fantasy Very Naughty for fun at home but wear Je Reviens in public.

    This fragrance “calls” me when it wants to be worn. I cannot explain it in any other way. I used Je Reviens over 25 years ago, and even then, one bottle would last for years; because I would suddenly feel like wearing it to work “out of the blue” and do so. At any other time, it was not my particular fave, but when I felt the need for it, nothing else would do ….. strange. Fast forward 25 years, and suddenly one day, I felt the “call” except I could not remember the name of the perfume. I only remembered a girl who cashed me out at the register commented about the fragrance “that perfume must be expensive” to which I nodded because I did not want to spoil the illusion. I went to a perfume store that sells lots of discontinued fragrances and told the lady, if I saw it, I would know it….BINGO. Here was the blue box. I bought it promptly, and the smell was exactly as I remembered it. I have worn it twice since then. Today being a day when I felt the “call.” I am enjoying it, but I know that it is unlikely I will be wearing it tomorrow; and this box might last me another year or two. However, I am ecstatic that it found me once more, and I always plan having a bottle, just for those moments when it decides that it wants to blend with my chemistry.

    I came to own this perfume way back in the late 1960’s. I was junior secretary in an office, and the office manager, a spinster lady in her late 50’s, came in one day and gave it to me – she said it was a gift to her, but she couldn’t ‘get on’ with it. It was the flat, round bottle, but it was clear, not blue.
    I didn’t know anything about perfume back then, but everytime I put this on for a night out, I felt sophisticated and so grown up for my 17 years! I always remember it as a ‘green’ perfume, that was my impression of it, sort of fresh and airy, but with a later warmth. I loved the feel of the bottle.
    I hadn’t thought of this perfume for years, but as a reviewer has previously mentioned, it does have some resemblance to Blue Grass, which I owned in my mid-twenties, another fresh, green perfume (I didn’t discover the Orientals until a couple of years later).
    I loved Je Reviens and, looking back, it was probably a good early introduction to perfumes, as it was light enough not to drown my youth, but seductive enough to lure me in to the magic of fragrances.
    I cannot give it a score, because my love for it was probably coloured by my lack of experience, and also lack of alternatives, but I loved it nontheless.

  36. :

    As usual, I am reviewing this without any influence of other reviews here, or even looking at the notes.
    It’s a hard to find perfume, and I wanted it because so many had said it smelled like Blue Grass.
    I was so excited to get it, being that I have “captured my prey”, muhahaha.
    Initial spray on inner wrist, oh,my…. it’s pure alcohol and quickly goes into lemony baby powder and alcohol. Waiting one minute,lemon baby powder and cardamom, cardamom , cardamom.
    Then within 30 minutes, I am smelling camphor and baby powder. I am sorry.
    One hour, and I cannot smell anything but faded camphor.
    I will say it’s my own chemistry, but my goodness, it definitely does not smell like BG.
    BG is HEAVEN.
    I believe strongly that this was definitely redone from the original, even though I’ve never smelled the original.
    BUT, I will review this perfume again, during the year, take it out to the streets, spray it when it rains, spray it when it’s dry….I will give it a chance.
    EDITED 1 year later 12/2016:
    Glad I gave it a chance.
    I guess it needed to breathe, like a fine wine.
    Wore it occasionally through the year, but now that Winter’s here, it just envelops you in a great scent. It ‘s what snowflakes would smell like if it had a scent….I know, I’m weird…lol
    The camphor smell if definitely gone. Cardamom is still there but less sharp.
    Classic, nonsweet, beautifully blended perfume. But it still doesn’t smell like BG to me, which is best in the Summer, because it’s soapier.

    I had never heard of this before today. I ran out of perfume and like to smell nice, so was looking around a department store trying to make up my mind if to get the same as before, or a different one. The store was full of celeb perfumes that smelt tacky to me. Then I saw a bottle of Je Reviens for the first time so tried it on, and it immediately stuck me as different and sophisticated. I couldn’t work out any individual notes at first. They all blended together to form a new flower called sophisticated.
    I said to the assistant that I had never heard of it before, and she said it’s a famous French fashion house.
    I bought a gift set with a round bottle of Eau De Toilette spray with two miniture round Eau De Parfum bottles. It isn’t the tall bottle with black lid like in the picture, but it definitely says Je Reviens by Worth Paris.
    I put toilette on one hand and parfum on the other to see if I like one more than the other, but I can’t tell much difference, although I think toilette is more suited to spraying all over and parfum more concentrated for pulse points.
    I describe things more how I feel about them than the technical words, but my mind kept thinking of a shower after work to feel fresh and clean, and smelling yummy to go for a date or out with friends.
    I definitely know I made the right choice in perfume and glad to have discovered Je Reviens.

    It is 1976. I am in the Banff Springs Hotel in early spring, on a ski trip, 17 years old, with a girlfriend and we are far away from home. I meet a boy from Quebec, Louis, who is so handsome. He says I can ski with him. We ski all day, he is leading me onto expert runs but I keep up. He is very formal all day long. But that evening, we meet back at the hotel and in front of the massive stone stairway, down the side hall, where no one is, he kisses me. I hear the laughter of the white-gloved elevator girls in the background and I am soaring. This moment is Je Reviens to me.

    Je reviens is one of the most beautiful perfumes I ever smelled in my life . It’s connected with my childhood since my mother ( along with miss Dior ) and my older aunt were wearing it. I remember the bottle round with the little angel and with the gold cup with the edges like a clockwork part and I was thinking is this the smell of angels ? For me that was the smell of angels not heavy not sweet or bitter not oriental and certainly not chypre . But what is it anyway ? It’s something in between everything it’s so rounded that every compound is in perfect harmony an accord in an accord . Everything blends beautifully seamlessly like a silk scarf like a lightweight cashmere pashmina . Of course it is a perfume that changed ( oh ! What’s new ) over the years . Now it is thinned watered but thank God it’s still smells like the old one of course it lucks the originality that was once it’s signature . Of course now is very reasonable priced if not to say cheap. But I don’t say cheap smelling on the contrary but whoever smelled the old stuff would certainly agree with me . It’s a perfume that I will never erase from my mind and never forget . It’s an unmistakable fragrance an original unlike the scents of our times that everything resembles with something else ( alas there are a lot exemptions serge lutens , hellena’s creations, annick goutal to name few ) . Je reviens is a beautiful perfume a blend of innocence with a twist of something mysterious feminine and a small drop of evil . Certainly a must .

    I’ve been wearing Je Reviens since I was a teenager. It’s powdery sweet and fresh.

    When I turned 16, my parents took me to Paris and I was able to go to the iconic Worth store on the Champs d’Elysees and buy a bottle of Je Reviens.
    I still wear it now and then, and glad it’s easy to find. The Je Reviens soap is also beautifully French milled, creamy and smells wonderful.

    This smells ten times more exclusive and expensive than it is, if you give it a chance to dry down. The opening is very “. Dulux” paint, but the dry down is a distant powdery elegance that would remind you of Chanel 19. It’s colder, though, and it has an original salty/ sweet accord that renders it quite original as well. None of the other worth fragrances that came on the set impressed me, but this one certainly did.

    The vintage Je Reviens is hands down, the prettiest floral ever produced, without being boring, or cloying. There are so many wonderful reviews singing its praises, I won’t blather on about it. This is #1 on my list of vintage must-haves.

    Oh my gosh I haven’t seen this one in years! Was just thinking about it the other day because my mom gave me a bottle for Christmas when I was about 16 and I absolutely loved it but couldn’t remember what it was called (just that the bottle was kinda rounded with a black cap). Wonderful fragrance!

    What I love about older, “clean” blends, like “Je Reviens”, “L’Heure Bleue”, “Blue Grass”, “Chanel No.5”, “Jean Nate” or “Vol de Nuit”, is that they hearken from a time when “clean” and “carnal” could still go together and nothing was considered strange, about it; where soapy meant there should be a clean, human body underneath that soap, when it was still possible for clean bodies to perspire, without the industrial, hazmat sanitation force called in to make sure no trace of human musk was left behind underneath the florals and resins.
    “Je Reviens” does have an underlying, clean private or public bathroom or hospital undertone to it but that’s only because all those things were cleaned with benzoin, for a century and after a shower in the 1930’s, the room smelled like creamy, crisp florals because that was the time before all soap had to smell like carwash detergent for people to properly register themselves as “clean”. There’s a piney, Avon’s “Skin So Soft” woodland-esque vibe to it that takes the freshness of “Je Reviens” into a more natural realm.
    After the initial burst of blue feeling, resin cleaner, with a mineral, rainwater kick, comes a velvety spray of dried, blue grasses and creamy, carnation-type florals, with a hint of sweet orange flower and hazy lavender. The drydown feels like all musk, sandalwood, pine and benzoin, resulting in a smooth, warm, creamy, sightly dusty woodsiness.
    “Je Reviens” is a hard scent to suggest to those who aren’t familiar with many older “clean” blends because modern association of soapy florals is often “public bathroom” or “Grandma” but that’s only because popular, clean blends that don’t turn people’s stomachs, inevitably get appropriated to scent Public spaces and find a home as a life-long, signature scent for a generation. It’s a matter of pleasing the masses, yet remaining distinctive, which is a good hallmark of a masterpiece. In ten years’ time, most Public spaces might smell like “Coco Mademoiselle” and future grandchildren will be lamenting it as a “grocery market smell”.
    If you like the fascinating combo of musky, carnal and shower clean — freshly scrubbed skin — you’ll love “Je Reviens”. You don’t get labeled “Grandma’s bathroom” unless you’ve earned that esteemed status of longevity and popularity.

    I bought this because of a print ad in Vogue. I think it was about the Fall issue, 1985. I had to have it because the ad of the blue bottle, some bluish flowers such as hyacinth, and the rest of the ad was rather white and receded into the background. I think I ordered a tiny mini of this (and Salvador Dali) from a mail order company that ordered 1/12 size ad in the Vogue under “fragrances for sale” and you could send off your check and check off a list of fragrances you could get for $10 or so. That’s what I did.
    So I got this tiny boxed sample of Je Reviens. I wasn’t sure it would be any good, but whatever, I tried it on and it didn’t smell bad, just didn’t smell rip roaringly fun or amazing. At first
