My first Boucheron, and I was pretty excited to try it when I got a sample by chance: I love stone fruits as perfume notes, especially combined with warm woody ones, and Jaïpur seems to feature all of these prominently. And from time to time, I do get wafts of the deliciously warm, feminine, luxurious scent I was expecting. But unexpectedly enough what I get most of the time is an entirely different aspect: pure champagne! I think it’s strange only one other reviewer has mentioned this, because to my nose it really smells exactly like champagne from a glass most of the time: a very tart and fizzy wine-scent. Which is pretty nice as well, but not something I’d want to wear very frequently, I think.

I found it today on a free market.the bottle is decadent and oriental peace of art.I sprayed two times and fest tears in my eyes.I cryed for the old times.jaipur takes you in its gentle arms and gives you consolation and love.Yes it is first,forbidden and forgotten love.I love fresia and this flower is so rade in parfumes.Jaipur is original and precious jewel. Good that it is discontinued.who wants it,has to travel to Jaipur India,or has to dream with eyes wine open.

My grandmother still has a half-full bottle of this one which she got from my grandfather back in 1996. Smells so good and it is sooo long lasting. It says 80% on the bottom, not sure what it means but I know it’s an old one.
My mother bought this perfume as well some time ago, smells good too, but different. Not as strong/long lasting. Lovely perfume though.
vlad311 – :
Yes. This is a beauty. I think the Grojsman peach is finally growing on me. This does remind me of Volupte, but Jaipur is sweeter and less green. Not green at all, in fact. It’s a lovely, golden yellow, packed to the brim with peaches, pineapples and apricots on a softly oriental base. There are no nose-burning spices here. There is nothing upsetting here at all, in fact. It’s jammy and uplifting but couldn’t be further from cloying. My skin does wonderful things to it as well, it melds with my chemistry perfectly.
The bottle is even more gaudy in real life than in the pictures but that’s part of its charm. The shade of jeweltone blue used for the sapphire on the bracelet would be *perfect* for a poofy 1980’s organza evening gown (that would make the other poofy-haired ladies at the fundraiser I’m imagining emerald green with envy). In combination with gold it’s full-on 1980’s Miami cruise liner cabin. I love it.
As a sidenote, I made my partner smell this without him knowing the first thing about it – I had gotten it in the mail the same day, sprayed it on earlier and stuck my wrist under his nose when he got home. He went “smells like India”. I told him that it’s called Jaipur and he smiled, commenting that indeed, this is a very literal olfactory interpretation of that city as he remembers it. I found this fact remarkable.

Art-2020 – :
I have had this one on my want list for some time. Being discontinued I did not wish to spend and arm and a leg so I was lucky to find an affordable bottle to try.
Jaipur is really a gem. While it is not like perfumes on today’s market it does not really scream “dated” or uwearable. It has a really lovely sweetness to it which I am sure made it so popular in 1994. I can definitely smell plum, peach and a hint of apricot. I am not getting pineapple. I also pick up the amber as well. As for florals I don’t particularly smell any floral notes that stand out. To me this is more of a sweet plum fragrance that fits the 1994 year of it’s release. I imagine it was quite the hit at the time and I can also see why it was discontinued. Not because it is not a lovely scent but it would not be a popular hit moving into the beginning of the 21st century. With gourmands being a trend that hopefully is starting to fade I think this would be great if it was re introduced back into today’s market. I think it’s got a place in current times. I feel that the trend of perfumery will take us back to old familiar scents and away from the sugary sweet fragrances that were such a huge hit in the past decade.

I love it.Classy and elegant,wearable in office too. I have a large bottle and can decant it for Small quantities.
RUS2011 – :
Jaipur is sweet absolutely beautiful spring time floral fruity fragrance. Who the hell discontinued this perfect perfume? My mother wore this very well and she has 3 bottles, 2 of which she hasn’t finished up. I smelled the nozzle and was impressed. Then I sprayed it as a test and enjoyed it. I asked her if I could have it and because she knows I’m giving her what she wants for mother’s day (a new perfume) she said yes. This is an Oriental floral but not terribly smoky or incensed. It’s a sweet vanilla scent as well. It opens with tons of fruit reminiscent of the fruity florals of the 90s like Tresor by Lancôme. This has plum, peaches, apricot and pineapple as it begins. A delicious fruit cocktail. And then it turns into this amazingly floral fragrance. Flowers from heaven: rose, orchid, heliotrope, peony, jasmine and lily of the valley. These flowers can be overwhelming but I didn’t mind. It does become a bit powdery and just a bit like Paris Yves Saint Laurent if you like scents like that one. The dry down has a lot going on. Amber, sandalwood, woodsy notes, styrax and vanilla. So this part wears like a rich Oriental perfume with aromatic scents. This is an absolute masterpiece. Please bring it back. Don’t reformulate it. Just bring it back as the beauty it used to be.

Fragrance Review For Jaipur by Boucheron
Top Notes: Plum Peach Apricot Pineapple Freesia
Middle Notes: Peony Carnation Black Locust Orchid Rose Orris Jasmine Lily of the Valley
Base Notes: Sandalwood Amber Musk Benzoin Vanilla Heliotrope Cedar Styrax
Another winner by Sophia Grojsman. Jaipur is an exotic fruity floral, seductive, sexy, and unmistakably feminine. For me this was a delightful surprise as it contains my 3 favorite floral notes of heliotrope, rose and orchid. I’m beginning to think that those 3 flowers were favorites of Sophia Grojsman as well. They show up in her fragrances like Sun Moon Stars by Karl Lagerfield and in Diamonds and Rubies by Elizabeth Taylor. The floral bouquet in this fragrance is a sweet fragrant combination of various flowers that always sit well with me: carnation, which has a seductive edge, a sweet clean white floral touch of jasmine, a pink peony and orchid as well as powdery iris. In addition there is lily of the valley. If you like floral fragrances you will be pleased. I prefer the middle stage and the dry down to this scent but the opening is nice too. It’s sweet fruits of plum apricot peach and pineapple. They’re juicy and very realistic smelling fruit concentrations. In the dry down the sandalwood, heliotrope and vanilla work their magic. This scent lasts well over 9 hours. It’s so gorgeous. Sadly it has been discontinued (it looks like) and hunting down a vintage original is like finding a needle in a hay stack. I have 2 parfums one mini dab on and a spray from the time of the fragrance’s release but which I’d purchased 5 years ago. I don’t see it selling anywhere now. On ebay the flanker called Bracelet is selling in it’s place and it’s nothing like the masterpiece that is Jaipur.

I hardly find words to describe Jaipur Boucheron, the way he presents from the first spray until 25 h of their last breath. Truly this scent lives up to urge your House boasts the fine and up the world of jewelery, I can not imagine him out of this world that glitters a glittering precious stones, as well as imposing in its most minute details. Its wake, its fixation are insane things, at least in my skin behave similarly to “extract of pafum”, ie above the 25 h Easily! Its opening is a blend of floral with decent fresh fruit niche perfumes, with a very prominent plum that punge between viçosidade of a dewy Freesia and silkiness of a freshly picked peach exhaling on all sides, is a very intense output and quite uncomfortable nostrils, but nothing that does not give support to the point of enjoying it too much. Soon after some lengthy time it is only floral, highlighting fresh and dried roses, many orchids mixed with a green smell, soothing Peony with his innocent whiteness and Carnation ripe and developed, here, at this stage, also gives to realize jasmine leaves quite dirty their midst, however, Lily realizes clean it and create a very sensible balance, making it a worthy perfume be used on special occasions and matching couture costumes. His farewell is on account of a master variation that is responsible for its almost “infinite” longevity between a good vegetable balsamic Styrax, recalling the bitter zest aromatic tree trunks, a raw Benzoin perfectly resin and oil nuances, vanilla herbal and nothing edible, Cedar fragments that add up to this stage aromatizando with its prominent bitterness and finally a king Musk screaming and fixed more than anything in this world. If we notice, your endnotes are realize combinations used by Perfumes, to provide attachment at the base of buildings of various world perfumes out. Its bottle is a jewel, a giant ring with a solitary stone in the end, this is the luxury representation, power and glory of the House. Who has Jaipur Boucheron in your collection has 1001 reasons to bear for its existence in it, no more!

Jaipur is a bowl of peach, apricot, plum and pineapple topped with warm sandalwood, creamy amber and powdery heliotrope. Without exception this fragrance has that undeniable Sophia Grojsman drydown reminiscent of Volupte, Tresor, Lalique, Tentations. It’s a mature and beautiful perfume, that in true Boucheron fashion smells richly decadent.
Ugg boots usa sale – :
With a name like Jaipur, you might be expecting a classic oriental perfume. Instead, what you will get when you first spray this now discontinued Boucheron gem is a warm, sweet fruity peach and apricot compote. Plum and pineapple are also listed as notes but I get mostly peach and apricot and if I have to have fruity notes in my perfume, I would rather have these than any other.
The opening is quite strong and lasts a little while. This is a strong perfume and just two sprays are recommended. The first time, I sprayed too much and the fruit began to feel cloying and overpowering. The next time I was more careful and sprayed just two sprays and I was surrounded by a soft aura of scent.
Floral notes are listed but not discernible to my nose – I believe they are there but I just cannot pinpoint or pick them up in any specific way. The best part of this perfume is the drydown – the fruity notes have mellowed out and while I am not able to specifically pinpoint sandalwood and amber, they are definitely present, weaved together in the soft, substantive fabric of a quality drydown that lasts and lasts – unlike so many recent releases that are gone from the skin without a trace in a couple of hours.
This perfume is on the sweeter side than what I am used to, but the complexity balances out the sweetness quite well. This review is for the EDP.
Update: I tested the EDT recently and it is similar to but lighter than the EDP, and I get a lot more rose from it as compared to the EDP. Towards drydown, the EDT begins resembling the EDP but it certainly leans more floral overall. I enjoy both versions but if I had to pick just one, it would be the EDP, which is a more dense, complex perfume.
заборовский – :
This a timeless jewel, elegant and classy. At first, a blend od flowers and fruit can be smelled. The fragrance is good to be worn any season of the year: intoxicating in summer and intensely flowery in winter, even when it’s very outstanding in summer nights. The elixir is meant to be worn by selfconfident women, and it’s one of my favorite perfumes that I love to smell and let myself go in that pleasurable journey, drowned in its essence.
Narek_Movsisyan – :
Love love love Jaipur. First tried and bought it on my 30th birthday in Nice, France. They have such marvelous perfume shops in Europe. Nothing like our big box department stores, and the salespeople really know their stuff when it comes to fragrance.
Anyway, this original scent has truly stood the test of time. 17’years later and I still love this fragrance. Nothing else smells like it, and it is beautiful the moment you spray it on and in all its incarnations as it dries down. There is not one misstep, not one wrong note. Jaipur has been my signature spring and summer fragrance for almost two decades now, and I can’t find anything else I like better or even smells kind of like it.
Sophia Grojsman outdid herself on this fragrance. It is truly a masterpiece, and I don’t normally even like fruity florals! A shame it has been discontinued. I continue to plod through other scents trying to find a worthy replacement. The search goes on…
Rom1992 – :
Initially this EDP is a very juicy peach/nectarine/apricot type fruit, bright and youthful, but as that calms, the florals come forward…this is the part people say it become powdery…and it does, in a floral sort of way…but not the vintage face powder type that I live for. There is a touch of spiciness, just enough to add a dimension, but not enough for me to label this as exotic.
It does remind me of the 90s, and the peachiness does remind me of Tresor, but it is not distinctive and bold like Tresor. It also reminds me a little of this peach body powder I have from the early 90s from Victoria’s Secret, when Victoria’s Secret stores had mahogany furniture, English lace, and chamber music softly playing in the background. I adore that body powder as it is so very delicate and sweet and perfect.
Jaipur is wonderful and nothing like the yawn-inducing mass fruity florals of today, but for me, still not the signature perfume I had hoped for. I just don’t find myself with an emotional attachment to it, so I know it’s not “the one,” but could well be for someone else.
EnerGy – :
It’s a good quality apricot tart ( or mixed fruit tart),
an apricot tart with a slightly soft floral scent and very very little spices in the background.
My favourite method when applying it, is wearing as little juice as possible, you only want the smell lingering around you vaguely.

If there is anyone that can delight my nose with ambrosial fruit-heavy floral fragrances, it would be from Sophia Gojsman. That woman was an alchemist in another life, I’m sure. I am not too keen on fruity scents so naturally, I wasn’t too convinced I’d like it at first. But, being as I know you cannot judge a fragrance too much by the bitty scent coming out of its nozzle, I decided to spritz a little on my wrist and await the music.
There certainly was something exotic in this one. The fruity top notes were in no way overpowering and well supported by the floral notes. Longevity for me stood at about 6 hours and sillage was buildable (1 spritz=1 ft, 2= 3ft, etc). Drydown was the most enchanting part for me, where it turns into something else entirely…a voluptuous vanilla spice warmed with amber and sandalwood that still echoed with the whispers of rose. Absolutely complex, surprising, and DELIGHTFUL MMmm.

I fall in love once I have a test at the shop super love it, its so classy feminine and very unique

This perfume reminds me of a cross between CK Eternity and Tresor – both by SG. I have found numerous tester bottles to stock up on, this is something very rare indeed!
whitems – :
Another Sophia Grojsman beauty that’s so hard to find these days… Peaches, apricots and other yellow fruity notes are blended with sandalwood, heliotrope and slight musk. Very classy, it reminds me of a stronger ‘Sotto Voce’ in its heart, and towards the drydown it is very similar to ‘Il Bacio’. I already own those two fragrances so I am putting my 50ml bottle for swap within the UK, in case anyone is looking to reunite with this gem from the past…
Pypeemabete – :
Proof that when Sophia Gojsman is given a decent budget, she can churn out some kick ass juice that would put Ropion to shame (looking at you, Amarige) Classy fruity floral that I miss terribly. Peaches and champagne is what I get.
ase16 – :
I think i like this just because it reminds me slightly of Jaipur Saphir – i was madly in love with that one =)
Still… This one is very classy and elegant like a refined high society lady. It’s not an offensive or vulgar smell at all and thats probably why many ppl say that it smells “soapy”.
It just smells like “old money” elegance to me =)

Yurok801996 – :
Starts out smelling as a very good quality soap.
Definetely with fruity undertones.
It quickly turns really powdery to the extend that when I sniff it makes it hard for me to breath – such a pity.
The powderyness is gone after 2 hours and then this perfume turns into a divine, slightly sweet plum.
A very unique fragrance and just so loveable !!
I wish the powdreyness did not last that long or this would be on my 10 top list.
I found a perfume a bit similar without the powderyness – another beauty from the 90ies Montana Suggestion Eau Cuivree.
BerikK – :
Very pretty & classy. Hard to find now. It starts fruity & floral without being too sweet, more fresh than sweet, but not in a green way. This is a one-of-a-kind combination. Good for any age, day or night. I wear it as a date fragrance; Very feminine & sexy but sweet & soft.
Alachlarita – :
the other day i went to a shopping center downtown where i stumbled upon this fragrance…my friend who was joining me dragged me to the selves to give me a wiff of her favourite fragrance and she spraied it on my wrist…it is not just the smell of touberose combined with an oriental scent that reminds you of Saudit Arabia/ Tunis , but i could still smell it on my wrist 5 hours later and the following morning as it lasted on my skin all through the night…three days later i can still feel the scent on my coat and i must admit…*sighing* I FELL IN LOVE
Great sillage, beautiful scent for winter and i also dare to say for printemps and autumn…
Do you want to experince being in love through a smell?
Pira – :
Jaipur is my mother’s signature perfume and on her it smells heavenly.
A too complicated scent to characterize (though, I will try), more oriental-woody, with fruits and flowers that hide or become more obvious, depending the weather and sometimes the wearer’s emotions.
Lasts really long, sometimes strong, others feels like it waits to be discovered…
As exotic and mysterious, as the city it’s named after…
iluxych – :
It’s a very nice perfume but it’s nothing unusual. It’s creamy, peachy and a bit salty. It resembles Tresor very much (at least to me) but it’s richer, it has better sillage and lasting power. Very high quality perfume and very easy to wear!
Suitable for all ages IMHO but mostly for mature women.
tandem3 – :
I had it several years ago,wanted to buy it again. I heard it is discontinued? Why they discontinue such a wonderful perfume, I remember it was a soft, warm, cosy oriental.Now there is a summer fragrance called Jaipur,I was so excited and I tried it and it has nothing in common with the original Jaipur 🙁
bonHodank – :
I was impressed by its smell (back in 1996) so I had bought it immediately. Unfortunatelly, I did not kept it for long. A colleque, loved my sillage at the office and I exchanged it with one of hers that did not want any more…Although I liked Jaipur, I found the exchange very challenging as she gave me her 100 ml full bottle of Krazy by Krizia (that time it was vanishing from the market) while I gave her my 50 ml almost full Jaipur. Today, I am ready to rediscover it…
plaha-87 – :
Ooohh, this is good! Juicy, clean, fresh, powdery and creamy floral. My favorite combination. Peach and plum are so fresh and creamy along with benzoin and heliotrope (pouwdah, pouwdah:) It dries down to soft musky, powdery floral.
At the same time it smells exquisitely sophisticated! Just love it!
and silage is Superb!
andgeras – :
I get a spiced fruit,soft-woodsy,slightly sweet oriental. This is a little masculine at moments to me….but, all in all it is really intriguing! I wear this and feel exotic.
biglach – :
Just got the sample a few days ago…I can’t stop smelling my wrist. I simply love the scent. To say this smels of apricot tart is accurate but there is such depth and the sweetness is so subtle. If anyone is hesitating on this scent because they are sick of sweet fruity scents this is nothing of the sort.
oscar1957 – :
I am always fascinated by the range of responses elicited by the perfumes of the house of Boucheron, and JAIPUR is no exception to the rule. To my nose, this perfume opens with lots of sweet red roses, not unlike Annick Goutal QUEL AMOUR! As it develops, however, JAIPUR follows a very different trajectory from that fruity-floral composition.
Eventually, JAIPUR becomes a smooth, only slightly sweet, light oriental on my skin. To my nose, the famous fruit tart which so many find here is more like a buttery (benzoin) pie crust upon which a few finely ground baking spices have been sprinkled. By the drydown, the discernible rose note has completely disappeared, but it is never really replaced. The clearing out of the roses allows the buttery, lightly spiced pie crust to emerge, but the elusive fruits remain hidden from me.
I was surprised, actually, to learn that this perfume was the work of Sophia Grojsman, because it is quite a bit more subtle than most of her unmistakeable, iconic, tattoo-like creations, and nothing like any of the fruity perfumes from her oeuvre with which I am familiar. I would never, ever have thought to compare JAIPUR to TRESOR, for example.
JAIPUR refuses to unveil its hidden depths before me, so I’m left, in the end, with a polite, light oriental much closer to a skin scent than the sort of bold, declarative perfume which I have come to associate with its creator.
shizifikation – :
GREAT PERFUME! One of the best powdery flowers ever. It’s very elegant and “bold” feminine, nothig too much in and nothig missing. This is really a masterpiece, which grows on my skin to fantastique scent. I usually put on colder days, for office, when I want to smell unique and discrete. A must have!
inheclice – :
Boucheron released its 2nd fragrance for ladies in 1994 as a fruity floriental. The nose is Sophia Grojsman and Jean Pierre Mary. It had to be a hit, right? Its no longer on the market today.
I totally enjoy the bouncy fuity opening. Then there is this very diginified floral heart that is graceful and reserved. The sandalwood was the basis of the composition. I find it a worthy successor to the house. However, at the time it was common. It was good, yet was lost in the shuffle of the hearty competition of the 1990s.
It should have had a little more spices in it for a more Indian appeal. The bottle is worth having alone for collectors and fans of Boucheron.
epixSweetabip – :
Jaipur makes me think of Morocco… jewel-tone colors, exotic fabrics, awe-inspiring buildings, and amazing spices!
For me, this scent is very distinguished. It smells nothing like the rest of my 50+ fragrances. A unique pepper-like powder is what I get when I first spray it on… then a softer baby-like powder is where it stays at on me.
Now, in all fairness, I don’t rate a fragrance with all the technical aspects of notes from start to finish. What I do rate a fragrance by is what appeals most to me and the feelings/thoughts it evokes.
Thankfully, this is one that has staying power for me!

Skalibyr – :
Boucheron is a house that I greatly respect and admire. Their fragrances are always classy and elegant and their bottles, while unique and a little strange, are very attractive. I was eager to try Jaipur, however because fruity florals aren’t my thing, it took me a while to become accustomed to the way it smelt.
Peach and pineapple, when presented in a syrupy and rich fashion in fragrances, quite often turn my stomach. This fragrance is what I’d call a potent fruity floral. It’s strong enough to be worn in Winter, while walking through the snow and icy, cold winds.
The top notes were a little too much for me. It smelt like an array of mushed fruits with a heady aroma of liquer. The sweetness was a little overwhelming too. Towards the heart, the loud fruitiness diminishes slightly, making way for soft, slightly powdered florals.
I began to like Jaipur a little more with its candied fruits and feminine floral accords. I could sense the elegance, which was similar to the beautiful, distinctive Boucheron pour Femme. All their fragrances tend to have a very ‘golden’ and expensive feel.
Jaipur is quite lush and intense. There are some beautiful moments when the rose, peony and carnation immerge. I find some similarities between Jaipur and Fragonard’s Billet Doux, but only towards the drydown. The base notes are deliciously rich and soothingly sweet with vanilla, benzoin and amber creating a somewhat exotic end to a strange yet captivating fragrance.
The longevity and sillage are very strong, so I recommend applying with a light hand. I think it could wear well in almost any season, but I will stress that this is not a fragrance for little girls. It’s very classy, mature and lady-like.
Jefemernost – :
I have, and I’d like to wear it, but I cant find out how! I think this so classic, so elegant, that I dont even know what to wear with this one!
Волк4ке – :
The first note out of the sample vial is rose, rose, rose! A lovely, spicy, fruity, dark pink rose. It’s a pity that the rose fades so quickly, giving way to a less well-defined, slightly flat, fruity-floral bouquet that I suspect is dominated by one of those synthetic dried apricot accords that have a touch of cooking oil smell and tend to flatten things out without contributing a bright fruity note.
I wish the rose had been played up more, along with a strong base. As it is, individual notes get lost without really creating anything new and memorable. I suppose what I wish Jaipur to be is an Indian-style perfume, as its name implies, instead of a European one. However, it is what it is, all hoopla about Rajastani bracelets notwithstanding.
Once I’ve resigned myself to what Jaipur is and isn’t, I can enjoy it as a complex, well-constructed fruity floral scent that gradually takes on a powdery note from the iris, heliotrope and musk. The only flower that I smell distinctly is the rose, and the only fruit the aged, dried apricot. As time goes on, it remains powdery, but becomes fruitier and sweeter, with other non-specific fruits joining the apricots. In the base, very close to my skin, I smell a vanilla-scented benzoin and possibly a little myrrh. Jaipur lasts 10-12 hours, and is still on clothing the next day.

I love the original Boucheron so I thought I would like this perfume. I love the bottle, but I can’t wear the fragrance. I have tried many times to wear it, but it makes me sick. I don’t know why, but it gives me a terrible headache. The original Boucheron is my signature fragrance, but this one is nothing like it! The dry down softens to a powdery scent, but that still makes me sick. Sometimes I can wear a fragrance that makes me sick, like Samsara, but I can’t even wear this one. It may work for some women, but I had to throw out the bottle and the little jewel compact of the solid.
baraban828 – :
An exotic scent that reminds me of Cairo nights. Very sweet perfume, I usually dislike sweet perfumes but this one is an exception.
Amazing lasting power, to use sparingly to avoid headaches. In my experience, liked by men!
zhz197speagoessenda – :
This is the perfect mature fruity floral for women tired of the cotton candy, berries and pink pepper fluff flooding the market these days.
The soft suede of apricot dominates and remains the star top to bottom. It is cushioned by the powdery iris but the floral center works only as a supporting cast, never stealing the spotlight from the delicate apricot diva.
It exudes femininity not brashly or loudly but with a soft come-closer mystique I find heavenly.
Bravo and Encore!
Update: Discontinued?? Are they mad?

powdery: yes, like a nectar: yes, fruity: not really, floral: not really, honey: definitely! if i might say so: fresh honey, yes, as crazy as it sounds! very exotic, yet a little sweet without although being heavy. a day and night summer scent that will leave many good impressions! 🙂
AbajemsFreerm – :
Very nice laid back powdery floral fragrance! Not very loud but different from the quickly disappearing more transparent florals there are so many of. There is a nice thick layer in it of warm oriental sweetness. I’m keeping this one!
vlad1995merenkov – :
It has all been said here. 🙂 It is very feminine, pleasant, jolly, complex, fresh, but cozy and also sensual scent, slightly sweet, exotic/oriental and unusual. It’s not typical floral fruity, not at all. It is quite grown up, but still has a lighthearted girly feel too. Really nice. I think that Persephone’s description is spot on:”… powdered tart yellow fruit with a complex flower heart and a hint of vanilla…” And – I would add – a touch of wood.
562970364 – :
A very beautiful fruity floral. I agree that it’s not a usual one in this group. Fruity notes are only detectable when you spray it on and a few more minutes. it reminds me on Sun Moon Stars a little bit, but Boucheron Jaipur is more refined. I also agree that there are spicy undertones in it, and it’s soft powdery notes makes the whole composition very round and balanced. Fruits, powdery florals, woods and spices, everything that is good in a perfume, but this one is NOT the type that was made for everybody. Sensual and classic, but still young and uplifting. I highly recommend.
Alex-nn – :
This fragrance is your idea of a fruity floral from the nineties. Jaipur is like the lighter, more airy version of Sotto Voce which isn’t surprising as the nose who created them is the same person, Sonia Grosjman. They do share many notes and are structured in a similar way.
Fruits and powdery woodsy notes appear first (orris root?) that are then mellowed into a soft vanilla-musk built onto like muscles on a refined and subtle but definitely woody backbone.
I actually prefer Jaipur to Sotto Voce, it’s less powdery and more wearable for out and about. Jaipur is lighter but more complex than its sister though, showing more facets and flavours over time.
What the two have in common is powderyness, but while Sotto Voce is almost too powdery to me to the point of being suffocating, Jaipur is balanced, soft and cozy with just the right hint of class so it’s elegant and playful at the same time.
