This is very much like Feminite du Bois but it completely lacks the intricacy that makes Feminite du Bois a great, one of a kind perfume.
It starts off very rubbery as mentioned before, which is really unpleasant. Then it turns into a mock FdB but way too sweet, linear and cloying. It becomes like an ashtray smoke version of FdB, which at least is somewhat uniqne.
From my experience silage is strong and the scent stays on for hours on end, even after washing.

A more peppery Feminite du Bois. It’s nice, but I prefer FdB’s smoothness- ET is a bit too spikey.

L’Enfant Terrible open citrus and spicy, slightly fresh, with a synthetic green note that unbalances the entrance, after a while the fragrance begins to sweeten with a central note of dates steered axle makes the rest of the fragrance. This sweet note gets into the territory gourmand attached to a nice drying with a soft musky sandalwood, which is the best part of development.
So much like a mix between Dzhari Phaedon and féminité du Bois meeting.
L’Enfant is nice, easy to use, especially, is good for cool days, have a good time and a moderate trail. The grades are averages and can not find any new, original or striking contribution that makes you stand out.

Like others, I see this as a poor copy of FdB. The opening is horrid. There’s a really pungent rubbery smell. Fortunately, it passes within around 20 minutes and then I get what I can only describe as FdB without the depth.
I don’t get much spiciness from this at all. I was expecting more cinnamon and more date, but what I get instead is cedar and candied fruits.
It’s fine, but compared to FdB it just doesn’t cut it. This is something I’d expect to find as a cut price dupe rather than an expensive niche perfume.
The sillage is very, very soft and the longevity is around 5 hours.

Sweet Coca-Cola with a splash of extra orange. Does not resemble any of the perfumes that have been mentioned earlier.
A relatively sweet and heavy scent, so make sure to wear it when the weather is not scorching hot.

Adorable spicy fragrance.
It’s a lighter version of Aziyade Parfum d`Empire. I loved Aziyade but it was a bit too heavy, “sweaty” for me. L’Enfant Terrible is just perfect. I really, really like it!

Like a child you adore; and then it pisses you off so much that you start to hate it, just for it to charm you again, so that you love it again.
I have the same relationship with this one….
Just so very sweet. Too sweet, but then again ever so endearing in the very cold of winter as it bings you comfort. However, there is something a bit disharmonious and overpowering in this composition, perhaps the date or the nutmeg in combination what turns out to be smelling like an old-fashioned lipstick note.
It’s that toddler that one minute is all peace- and cheerful, and the next moment throws all his toys out of the pram. Gives me headache at times, like that shrieking hi-pitched noise that children are capable of.
It might sound harsh but I can only spent a few hours with this child, i.e. the scent for it is just overpowering and jarring for me.
Hate to love it and love to hate it. 5/10

Similar to Aziyade Parfum d`Empire, but much lighter and with less character. Musk is not present. Nice fragrance.

Date-licious Sandalwood…
LET is basically an aromatic sandalwood fragrance to me. This one is love for me since spray one.
When I fist spray LET on me I don’t get the top notes listed right away. What I get is a combination of dates and sandalwood right off. Strange because top notes are supposed to hit you first for presentation. No? Or call me crazy. LET right away comes across as a moderately and pleasantly sweet fragrance, mostly from the dates.
But this is the game LET plays on me–wonder if this explains the name of the fragrance. After a few minutes then I can start detecting the spices from the top notes better. The nutmeg, coriander and caraway come together to add a dry, woody and fragrant spicy sweetness. Now. I did not notice the orange scent until after my third trial. It is there, but sometimes I get it and sometimes I don’t. I’m not sure if the weather is a factor since I’m in Florida and right now in January our temperatures and humidity fluctuate greatly. But when it does come out it adds this fresh citrusy sweetness that constrasts the drier spiciness from the top notes. I don’t get any of the alluded green notes by Fragrantica. Despite having musk at the base I don’t detect any.
Silage is moderate and longevity is above average.
LET is bottle worthy for me. It is fragrant, redolent and easy going.
8.5/10

The image conjured up is that of a rebellious young child. But the scent in itself is quite the opposite! I get whiff of Nutmeg, Coriander, Sandalwood, Cedar, Orange, Date. This aromatic concoction is spoilt with a touch of cumin which I suppose is where the image of the mischievous child comes to play.
To me, this is the most appealing of the Jovoy fragrances. It starts off a bit harsh with all the spices, but it gradually dries down to a very aromatic and pleasant scent. Perhaps this is creating the vision of a hyper-active child that eventually gets tired and calms down, perhaps even falls asleep. And then the neighbourhood is quiet once again!
Ikrasilni – :
top note is overpowering, smells too artificial. But soon afterwards you get good sweet spiciness. It is slightly gourmand at the top. I do not think it to be similar to FDB, FDB is much much better:)more balanced. this stuff is cheapish. only good close to the nose.
Yvaarh – :
i tested this today ,very good frag indeed ,freshly spiced and woody ,i smell cumin,wood,not too sweet as i do not detect on my skin dates or anything gourmand ,in the drydown very similar to feminite du bois shiseido but more masculine in a certain way . projection it’s not too high ,longevity on my skin more than 8 hours .very woody oriental frag but it didnt impressed me so much to say i ll should buy a full bottle soon
7/10
Sedant – :
As for its similarity to Feminité du Bois, it’s there, that’s true, however Feminité is lighter, fresher and less smoky-powdery than L’Enfant, which makes sense because their notes differ quite a bit, which should be immediately obvious to most experienced perfume lovers if it’s obvious to me whose nose often has trouble differentiating notes. It also does smell quite like Sensuous in the drydown. If you’re familiar with the Eastern European drink Baikal, this perfume, in the beginning makes the impression of the syrup concentrate for this drink. If you’re not, imagine nutmeg, cola syrup and miscellaneous herbs working together, one not overpowering the others. The second phase is the even smoother and somewhat sweeter sandalwood/dates, and the last one is incongruously fresh, light and surprising Sensuous smellalike. All three phases are delicious, pleasant, playful and fit the character of the description well. A sort of neon-noir daylight scent.
Projects very strongly for about three hours and then reduces its radius to about one feet; shocking no one the skin eats it up easier, stays pretty much indefinitely on clothes. When layering, tends to be overpowered by stronger chypres and suchlike. Additionally, if it’s so similar to Feminité, I would suggest it costs cheaper to just go with the Jovoy version.
As for any, ah, unusual ingredients, like metal shavings and whatnot, my skin chemistry manifests no such things.

I’m going to wait for the dry down on this but the initial blast is, well, terrible! Smells like a pile of metal shavings right now.

I don’t find it attractive, but rouge assassin is nice and powdery.
Meqhv700Negeltzex – :
L’Enfant Terrible is absolutely delicious to be a menace! Really edible, like orange-cola chewing gum in all its sweetness. Loads and loads of orange, softened by the date
and oakmoss notes. I’d describe it as spicy, loud, infantile, warm, sweet and confident. I promise you, I would eat my arm now if I could, it’s that delicious. I’ve never tried F du B although I’ve had the chance many times but definitely will next time.
If you have a chance to try this Jovoy, please knock yourself out.

Jovoy does Feminité du Bois (lite). Not much to add…

Very close to Féminité du Bois. Almost a copy.
