As much as i love fragrantica , coming here and googling notes and reading some reviews , I also just can’t get over all theses people complaining about reformulations . It’s so irritating and silly. There is barely a difference between the old EDT and the new EDP , all the complaining is such a waste of energy. There are people who claim it’s differnt in different countries which is a big joke. They don’t make perfume differnt for differnt countries. Also it hasn’t been reformulated since it came out as the EDP. I don’t get people always complaining about that. It’s an amazing perfume. I love it in all versions. EDT , EDP and Extract. Is there a difference ? No, if you ask me and anyone else I know. Jersey is Jersey , a beautiful lavender vanilla done to perfection ! Warm yet fresh , soapy clean and laundry like. It will alway be one of my favourites. Lots of compliments on this one no matter what version I wear. I don’t really notice a difference. It’s all in our heads ! Wear it and enjoy !!

Jersey represents its name so perfectly: i feel wrapped in a tissue weight tee shirt material, comforted and warm but not too hot or overpowering. I agree that the sillage has something to be desird, this stays very close to the skin, The lavender has a round warmth not always exhibited in other blends, and is perfect for situations that are close quarters like air travel, car trips, and warmer weather when you still crave a cozy perfume but don’t want to feel suffocated. I’ve been working my way through a generous decant, and will definitely add a full bottle to my Chanel collection when the time is right.

To ” Cocolover ”
I think you misunderstood my review .
I love the ” EDP ” more than the ” EDt ” .
but
chanel re reformulated the ” EPD ” again in april or may 2017 .
I have EDP one nov 2017 and my sister have one made in jun 2017 , they’re not the same .
the nov 2016 is very veryyyyyyyyyyyy long lasting and the vanilla and Tonka and lavender increased , that’s why I loved it .
the one made in jun 2017 is soapy and the lavender feels a bit cheap like the one for clothing washing .
the Tonka and vanilla is less then nov 2017 .
I tired it in Harvey nicals and chanel botiques and other places just to make sure it’s not my nose or i’m wrong .
same thing happened with bel respire nov 2016 ” EDP ”
it was grass sharp green .
jun 2017 is magnolia soapy green cucumber so not the same .
very close the chanel Cristalle ” Eau verte ” they released it for summer . I think in 2009 .
sorry .
peace .

I sprayed this yesterday to go out for dinner, and I barely smelled it, neither did my friends. However, after like 4 hours later, I started smelling it really clearly and strongly. Especially when I went home after the dinner, the smell started blending around that my housemates complained about it. So weird !!!! But definitely love the smell, really unique and relaxed, however, with Chanel, the longevity and sillage are really unpredictable, sometimes I even feel the Chance EDT lasts more longer than those EDP like Coco or No.5.

Lavender is a tricky note on my skin, almost always it turns male’ish – but not Jersey and I’m sooo happy. This is a ligth, bright, calm, superwoman’ish coolgirl and flirty scent. Not in your face, more of a whisper around you for many hours. The mix with Tonka, Musk & Vanilla makes it perfect to wear almost always.
Lavender är en knepig ton på mig, den slår nästan alltid över i manligt – men inte i Jersey och det är jag så glad över. Det är en ljus, lätt, lugn, superkvinnlig och lite flirtig doft. Absolut inte en kvävande doft utan mer som en viskning som sveper runt dig i många timmar. Mixen med Tonka, Musk & Vanilj gör den mjuk och perfekt att bära – jämnt.

Bright and soapy aldehydic lavender and tonka. This smells brighter and less gauzy from what I remember of the EDT, but overall, familiar, and rather simple.
I think in terms of “Chanel does lavender” I’m more onboard with Boy, but Jersey is OK if a bit dull.

The problem with Jersey Eau de Parfum is not as the review below has addressed, more the exact opposite. As I’ve tried Jersey (and owned some, including a bottle of this from 2017), I can confirm that the vanilla and tonka have been increased. The lavender seems to be at the same level it always was, just slightly more watery.
The Eau de Parfum is still fantastic, regardless of how dense it has become. It lasts much, much longer than the EDT did which is both a blessing and a curse. It can overwhelm. However, in the spirit of changing and EDT to make it an EDP, this is greatly to be expected. Where the EDT was airy and ethereal, the EDP is like a heavy dessert.
If you’re an avid user of fragrances who will get disappointed by a slight change in a scent, don’t try the new formulation. If you love Jersey EDP unconditionally, try it. The same DNA is there, it just switched gloves before going out to dinner.

it’s not the same why they want to reformulated in less than a year ??? my Friend told me in may that chanel reformulated some of their Exclusifs line , she was right .
they reduced the thick vanilla and Tonka beans .
why on earth the wanted to reduce the vanilla and Tonka ????
the lavender also reduced , .
the edp oct version was long lasting the base rich vanilla almost like creamy sandal I was happy .
imagine white vanilla + purple lavender + musk
to me havean ssssssso calm and peace .

Jersey is such an unexpected favorite of mine from the Exclusifs line. It’s restrained and innocent; it’s almost like it’s a bit shy, capable of being loud and prominent but instead it opts for subtlety and intimacy. Somehow Jersey EDP has really spectacular sillage and longevity while remaining close to the skin. I can’t quite explain it… On one hand it’s among the most powerful of the Exclusifs (in my opinion), but on the other it’s one of the line’s most delicate. The lavender in Jersey is very, very soothing — it’s not cloying or obnoxious like I find many other aromatic scents to be. I also find it a little bit refreshing. It makes me think of the feeling of clean, cool linen in my bed on a warm spring or summer night… that sort of refreshing.
I distinctly remember having tested this on the back of my hand in the wintertime, and hours and hours later I found myself catching gusts of some really beautiful and familiar smell, when I finally came to realize it was Jersey seeping THROUGH my knit glove. I think this perfectly summarizes Jersey’s peculiar quality of restraint, or shyness as I like to think of it. Like many of Chanel’s most powerful perfumes, Jersey is definitely there for hours and hours. But unlike those same perfumes, Jersey has the most subtle way of ebbing and flowing, gently nudging you from time to time to remind you it’s still there.

I still have Lush American cream in solid form and when I tried Jersey today, it really smell very similar. Its a lovely lavender and vanilla, very comforting and easy to wear. It went strait to my want list. Love it.

Jersey, bless it, gets a bad rap more often than not, with many perfume bloggers likening it to some kind of functional product.
I have to admit it really didn’t grab me either, when I first tried it a few years ago (in the EDT form). But I find I’ve gradually done a volte-face in my appreciation of it, to the extent that I recently bought a bottle of the new EDP.
I don’t think the new EDP is significantly different to the EDT (although it definitely has a stronger, longer-lasting presence, which is why I bought it in preference to the rather ephemeral EDT), so it’s not that the EDP changed my mind. No, it’s simply that I’ve come to appreciate Jersey’s gentle, musky simplicity, and I find myself reaching for it far more often than I thought I would. It’s easy-going, pretty and charming without being overtly or stereotypically girly, a good go-to scent on days when other more worthy or assertive scents feel a tad too challenging.
To me, Jersey is a case of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. Its simplicity belies the fact that it’s satisfyingly comforting in cooler weather but refreshing when it’s warmer, and as with many Chanels it’s simultaneously modern and retro; plus, there doesn’t actually seem to be anything out there that smells similar, even though it seems like there surely must be!
So what do I think it smells like? Honestly, it smells like lavender-infused Brighton rock, in other words a sweet, minty lavender over a butterscotchy-vanilla goodness. It’s like wandering round a fancy, old-fashioned sweet-shop on a summer’s day — there’s a breeze coming in through the window, billowing the white tablecloths under the sweet-jars and wafting the scent of fancy humbugs flavoured with lavender towards you. And… relax.
Sometimes you want interesting, entertaining or even tricky from your SOTD. But sometimes you just want undemanding loveliness, and on those days Jersey is perfection.

I am crazy about this perfume, the twist from almost pure lavender to a way more musky, spicy and warm scent during the day is a perfect reflection of the impression you want your scent to give to other people. I wear it all through the wintertime. One critique is that it can be a bit powdery – but so can many of the Chanel EDP’s
sveshnikov – :
Lol the world may has gone mad But I find the EDP just great. In fact I have two edt bottles of jersey as it is my signature scent. But I am giving one of them to my friend so I don’t feel so guilty getting the new EDP which in my experience lasts longer and is even more beautiful.
palumegi – :
I am a fan of Jersey EDT … the EDP is flat and lacks the character of the EDP. And it actually disappears on my skin in half the time of the EDT … I can’t believe the EDP will replace the EDT – then again I can hardly believe Trump is now president. Has the world gone mad?
