I was thinking to buy Etro Heliotrope and stop by to (again) teste it on my skin but the dry down became “old went wrong” scent, so i went again to test it to Etro boutique in Vienne and seller recommended me to try Jacquard and i fell in love with it right the way.
Beautiful scent white flowers, leather, some spices but yet remains powdery.
Very differrent from my others scents but maybe i can put it in one rank together with FM DVN
Anyway I purchased 10 ml beautiful bottle (for to see better and not to make again too fast later regretted purchase) and i am happy so far with it and thinking to buy whole bottle

This was a risky purchase for me because I normally stay away from powdery fragrances, but the price was great and I decided to take a chance.
Good idea.
The opening is citrusy, not too strong, but still evident. In a few minutes it becomes powdery, for me it’s a strong, dry powder, clean and tolerable.
Not my favorite stage. It lasts about half an hour and then it transitions to pure goodness.
The drydown lasts a couple of hours on my skin, with very modest silage, but it’s simply gorgeous. It’s all about soft, creamy woods, a bit of pepper, and pleasant amber notes (even though it doesn’t have amber note in the description). The drydown of Jacquard reminds me of the drydown of L’Ambra des Merveilles, another favorite of mine.
This last stage of Jacquard is soft and sensual, pleasant, comforting, and calming. I’ve been wearing it for a few days straight, which is surprising as I’m ordinarily very unfaithful to a single fragrance. Oh, well, I guess I can play with monogamy for a little longer.
And last, but not the least, I love the bottle. Not that it should make a big difference, but it’s a welcomed bonus.

I think this is my favorite one out of 3 that I’ve tried, but it’s just because I like iris, violet, woody perfumes. It almost reminds of Van Cleef & Arpels Bois d’iris, but it’s far less sweet and more spicy.
So the signature here is black pepper; Of course there is iris too, but I’ve almost never seen such a combination of iris. I find something fiery and hot and simultaneously something calm and peaceful in Jacquard. so it’s contradictive.
It also has a very dry nature; it reminds me of a walk on a desert in a sunny day.
As I mentioned in another review, I admire Etro’s effort to capture the oriental scents, but I wouldn’t consider having a bottle of them, even this one as my favorite.

This is a strange fragrance. You will love it or hate it there is no middle way. I buy it because it’s describe like powdery fragrance, but it isn’t powdery at all. Impossibile to distingue each one ingredient, I smell only babies woody pastels smell. But I like it it’s a different original pleasant perfume, but I recommend to try it before purchase!

On me I get dry powdery iris. I do get the resin and maybe that’s where I’m getting a high sharp note. Pleasant and interesting. A little like hilde soliani ti amo iris.

As a lucky first reviewer I’ll try my best to describe Jacquard based on a splash sample vial.
Not looking at the notes, Jacquard started of as a flora scent that smelled instantly powdery. It somehow reminded me of washrooms of luxury 5 star hotels; those with gold-framed mirrors, antique paintings where everyone that walked in wear black high-heels that knock against the shiny marble floor. Right after I dabbed on the liquid I could no longer smell the bergamot and the flower was coming out strong and unsweetened. A dry iris more so than a buttery iris I would say. About 5 minutes into wearing some spicy notes became more and more prominent and right away Jacquard was a warm iris scent. It’s not green or wet nor soapy.
After half an hour Jacquard became such a skin scent that I have to put my nose close to my arm to smell it. Surprisingly I recognized ylang-ylang’s signature banana smell atop from the iris, which gave this fragrance some deliciousness. From then on the scent didn’t change much. The musk was always muted in the background until after two, three hours and together with the ylang-ylang it smelled pretty amazing.
On me I didn’t smell vetiver, sandalwood (or any woodiness tbh), resin or jasmine. Maybe a little bit of violet?
A beautiful dry iris scent that matches up its bottle design: soft, powdery, and slightly exotic.
*Update* the official note pyramid on Etro’s website is:
Top: Bergamot, Angelica, Black Pepper
Middle: Iris, Jasmine, Ylang-ylang
Bottom: Musk, Violet
which explained why I never smelled the imaginary vetiver or woodiness.
