“… And since the wall in front of her was
covered from floor to ceiling with a large mirror, which was unbroken by any shelving, she could
see herself, thus open, each time her gaze strayed to the mirror.
When she was properly made up and prepared – her eyelids pencilled lightly; her lips bright red;
the tip and halo of her breasts highlighted with pink; the edges of her nether lips rouged; her
armpits and pubis generously perfumed, and perfume also applied to the furrow between her
thighs, the furrow beneath her breasts, and to the hollows of her hands – she was led into a room
where a three-sided mirror, and another mirror behind, enabled her to examine herself closely.
She was told to sit down on the ottoman, which was set between the mirror, and wait. The
ottoman was covered with black fur, which pricked her slightly; the rug was black, the walls red.
She was wearing red mules. Set in one of the walls of the small bedroom was a large window,
which looked out onto a lovely, dark park. The rain had stopped, the trees were swaying in the
wind, the moon raced high among the clouds. ”

This is great lavender without any of the acne medication smell from crude lavender essential oil. Nice wildflower note and green grass. Those are very slight nuances in it. If you just want a very fine lavender then this is it.

I came to Chanel counter with a sole purpose to get me Bois des Iles, and left with Jersey instead after having worn it on the back of my hand for 10 min. What swayed my mind? An enchanting transformation from gentle, breezy and soft lavender in a gauzy cloud of vanilla-sweetened aldehydes into a No.5 Eau Premier’s rose-jasmine-musk sleekness. A wonder that takes some doing and, for me, justifies the price. Effortless understated elegance that wears well even in the (very!) hot and humid weather. It has a soft sillage to begin with and after an hour wears like a skin scent that lingers for hours. This is lavender Zen done right (take a note, Guerlain and Hermes).

Truly lavender from Provence. Flowers exactly. I adore lavender, so I love it. But I think that it’s too simple for its price. I bought a perfume with lavender for clothes in Tihany on Balaton lake. Less famous, but, imho, more beautiful lavender place. And it smells almost the same, only it costs much more cheaper.
viktkorn – :
I liked this but its not what I expected. It’s softly aromatic at the beginning almost like a barber shop cologne but no oakmoss, then becomes more floral…and the dry down is 100% Chanel. Adelhydes, slight powder and woods but in small doses. It’s cute, it has the Chane l version of what people call Guerlinade…unmistakable house quality.
PiePkarfvef – :
Oh wow what an incrdbile lavender scent. Present without being overdone transparent while silghtly thick. Mostly definitely unisex and any guy could pull this off. I tned to lean towards deeper richer scents and I’m glad I have this one in my collection.
aalex-levi – :
Another Jacques Polge gem that shines most in its original Eau de Toilette concentration. The link to the often mentioned Caron Pour Homme is apparent, yet more so to its original version. The superb weigh less construction of Jersey features an almost mentholated dose of aldehydes in its opening that catapult it right away in the top range of lavender focuses perfumes. Brilliant work!
vzh001speagoessenda – :
Beautiful-this is a comfortable fragrance, warm, soothing, gentle, restrained, a lazy Sunday afternoon curled up reading your favourite book type of comfort. I get powdery notes from this, it might be the gentleness of the lavender. It’s quite sweet but not gourmand sickly-sweet, and its very smooth but not over the top musk. It’s a subdued scent-there isn’t any particular floral note that stands out, even the lavender, which peaks in the first few minutes blends in to the background later. I’ve never been one for lavender particularly until I got January Scent Project’s Eiderantler, but the lavender notes in Jersey and Eiderantler are very different-both beautiful in their own way.
Jersey isn’t a particular distinctive or stand-out fragrance, on me its a skin scent with low sillage, but it lasts well. I enjoyed it-its a lovely, relaxing scent-it maybe won’t get you compliments (unless someone gets very close!) but it makes you feel happy.
kirillv-2000 – :
Lavender, vanilla, and aldehydes? Yes please!
Oh wait, they’re gone already? Bummer. Well, actually, the aldehydes are the longest-lasting part of this, which is MOST surprising and sad.
As far as the concept though, I think I get it. Soft, breathable knit loungewear draped over the reclining figure of a girl-next-door type as she sips a morning cup of coffee. Something along the lines of MMM Lazy Sunday Morning but done a lot better. The white musk here, which somehow has gotten past my anosmia, is laundry fresh and aided by the No 5 L’eau-esque aldehydes. Vanilla adds warmth while lavender adds a casual attitude.
To be fair, I really like Jersey, I just wish it had more oomph. Save your money and buy L’eau, it’s much better.
koroscentr.ru – :
Recently I purchased couple of les exclusifs line’s samples and jesrsey was one of them I couldn’t wait to test.I always loved to find a feminine perfume with Lavender done right in it(right for my taste of course)
When I first sprayed it I was shocked.it was strong,cold,sharp and very cleaning product-ish! there is this particular clothes washing powder here which we call it tayd.smelling jersey was as if I was smelling tayd-water mix.exactly the same.and it didn’t even feel clean.it was as if I’ve mixed that cleansing product,tayd,with water and left a glass of this chemical potion somewhere for a couple of days.then I’ve washed my hands with it without rinsing them afterwards with water
But the good news is,things didn’t take much to get better,waaay better.vanilla and musk save jersey for me.there comes a creamy,not so sweet vanilla and soft,skin like musk to round Lavender’s edges a bit and turn jersey to a pleasant,clean,smooth,calming,feminine scent I was waiting for.it still has a soapy vibe but in a very creamy way which I actually like.I can also feel a hint of flowers in it,something like a very light Jasmine
All in all I liked it and it lasts for an impressive time on my skin,though sillage isn’t big.It seems to be addictive but I don’t think I’m willing to pay large prices they ask for it but I will happily use up my sample from time to time.I prefer to use it in spring and summer but not that it won’t suit fall days.
Something in it reminds me lacoste pour femme,also d&g feminine. I may do a side by side test to find out their similarities
Vetali – :
I was lucky enough to get a sample of this. I was surprised how Jersey &
Moschino L`Eau Cheap and Chic smell alike. L’eau is slightly more soapy & powdery, a bit more heavier in the alcohol department but overall they smell so much alike! I use to own Moschino l’eau & was very sad when they’ve discontinued it. Tbh, I don’t even know whether I should splurge on this knowing it doesn’t smell as unique as I thought of..
urgon – :
Jersey is a serene, calming delight of a fragrance. It smells fluffy, gentle and polite.
In the beginning I smell lavender with a metallic undertone, which fortunately soon disappears. After that it’s lavender, done in a feminine and elegant way. As time progresses it has similarities with Guerlain’s Eau de Lingerie, both share the same DNA. Towards the drydown it smells somehow similar to the new No5 L’eau, it has a sparkly somewhat aldehydic quality, full of charm.
Only downside to it is its short life on my skin and the low silage. Other than that, loved Jersey. Look forward to trying the extrait version.
tanushe4ka2008 – :
Liked it very much in the beginning, but then got really bothered by strong and annoying lavender note. Not using unfortunately.
лефка – :
I had great expectations for it as I love lavender.
But got big disappointment-sweet annoying lavender.
Not sophisticated, soapy – wanted to wash it away and never wear again…
Aleksandr.J – :
I was in lavender limbo for years.
Never quite sure if it was a note to praise or condemn.
Had I been asked, I would have insisted the lavender note only presents with a masculine feel in perfumery.
INSISTED!
That is, until I not discovered Les Exclusifs de Chanel Jersey.
It’s a good thing, a realllly good thing, I discovered Jersey. I might have languished in limbo for a fragrant eternity, never knowing what beauty I was missing.
Apparently the key to lavender heaven is using a soft creamy vanilla and an even softer musk to round out and unlock the door to the perfect lavender. My goodness, the notes are lovely together, made even more so by the sprinkling of random flowers throughout. I smell an unlisted heliotrope and something subtle and white.
Jersey is the perfect lavender composition for me. It’s vanilla comfortable, feminine and outdoorsy. Not a stomp through the woods outdoors feel, but windblown and clean, soapy clean… like fresh laundry just off the clothes line in your backyard and green, a roundish green. No sharp edges.
Leave it to Jacques Polge to rescue lavender from olfactory limbo and place it on a pedestal 🙂
34elena – :
I love lavander opening. Mind you, lavander hier is the most natural and highest quality possible. After few minutes another notes appear – like soft musk and very light vanila. It is cosy, pleasant and relaxing fragrance, which is very light and barely noticeable. However, i am also gathering compliments while wearing. I love to wear it with crispy white linen shirt and dark designer trouses. Very classy!
dizi88 – :
I got this as a gift. He said the vanilla reminded him of me (I am a real vanilla freak, I even make my own vanilla mists these days). I loved the gesture, and I do “like” the smell, but alas- not on me… I am just not a lavender girl.
To me it smells like (and I mean this in the nicest possible way), really expensive laundry detergent. and I don’t mean “The Laundress” level expensive, I mean REALLY pricey- like Tom-Ford-level-eye-wateringly-expensive. When I spray, I imagine pure white, crisp sheets with a god-knows-how-many-zeros-at-the-end-of-this-threadcount that you would only find someplace like a 7 star hotel in Dubai (or Beyonce or Madonna’s bedroom) that smells like total unadulterated cleanliness and sunshine.
It is a huge bottle, so on sunny days I spray it on my curtains and the warmth makes it waft around the room.. its quite lovely like that.
The kind of lady that I imagine wearing this, hmmm.. would be intelligent, refined, soft-spoken, minimal/no-make-up-make-up with french-girl-hair, and really good shoes.
On a man I would imagine it to be quite sexy.
ztr381InsuffBooni – :
A lovely lavender scent that that dries down to a fresh green tea/citrusy scent on my skin. Sillage is better than expected — I can smell it from arm’s length.
My only hesitation for Jersey is that this drydown on me smells like other fresh scents. I love the opening more.
VTLS – :
I recently sampled this perfume. To me, this is a terrible perfume.
I rarely, if ever, get headaches from perfume, but this one gave me almost an instant headache. It is a very heavy, cloying, lavandar and powder bomb. It does remind me of Fleecy dryer sheets, but much heavier, and more pervasive.
I feel like I am choking people around me with this scent. The sillage is ample, and the longevity is also there, unfortunately for me.
This may smell great on some people, but my body chemistry makes this a disaster.
EricWZ – :
Jersey is a light, fresh floral and my first from the exclusive range. Ideal for hot summer weather. There’s a uniqueness to it that urges a craving to sniff over and over. I’m very fond of this EDT.
If you do not like french lavender, I’d say skip this one. You certainly smell it all day. The rose is faint, but it’s there for sure. Overall very luxurious for a fresh, uplifting olfactory experience.
The vanilla I believe binds everything together in yet another subtle way. Jersey is VERY well blended—nothing overpowers the other. Very much a Chanel fragrance.
Elegant, womanly (vs. feminine which is always a sweet floral. Jersey is not fruity at all), powdery, fresh, uplifting, energizing, a touch of softness. An aromatic floral done quite well.
The 2.5oz goes for $160, 6.5oz for $280. Is it worth the price? As much as any Chanel is. I’d say try before you buy. Mine was a blind buy in a miniature vial. I am considering a full bottle.
Is it unisex? Perhaps. It leans feminine for sure. I personally would say no. But chemistry plays a big part. If you wear lavender and/or musk well you should definitely try this.
Wearing this all Summer, 2016 🙂
Anakir – :
I wanted to like it. I got an initial hit of lavender, then ….. I was still waiting. My son, who has an amazing nose, sniffed it 15 minutes later and nailed it. “Liquorice allsorts”. He’s right you know.
drovamymavord – :
I don’t know what kind of hoity-toity dryer sheets y’all are using, but Jersey smells nothing like the washer/dryer products I use. I adore this fragrance – it is beautiful for spring. Go ahead, call me basic. 😉
I make a lavender blossom lemonade in the summer and the opening of Jersey reminds me of the floral/sweet/tart taste. Perhaps some of the green notes notes are translating into a lemon scent. I also detect violet, though it is not listed as a note, and it is reminding me of the powdery, candy-like facets of Chanel Misia. I can see how some people find Jersey too sweet, but to me the sweetness pairs nicely with the lavender (which is a note I normally dismiss as too astringent or “masculine”.)
Kylexora made a comment below stating that Jersey feels Prada-like and I agree. It has the dusty, powdery quality of Infusion d’Iris and Candy. Jersey would have been a better Prada Candy Florale than the actual Prada Candy Florale.
I like all the Les Exclusifs for their distinct personalities, but I think Jersey is the fragrance I’d wear the most often if I purchased any bottle. Versatile, uplifting and high quality!
patahov56 – :
Oh Jersey, you’re like a sweet, sweet first love.
I’ve always loved lavender, and I was pleasantly surprised when I tried Jersey. I expected heavy sweet lavender but what I got was light and bright lavender instead. The first burst was an airy lavender which quickly settles into something sweet and delectable. The musk and vanilla came out a little later, with the vanilla dominating the whiff after about a few hours. I don’t mind the vanilla at all, though. It adds a touch of brightness to an otherwise herby, medicinal lavender. Jersey’s so beautiful to me; it’s very fluffy and inoffensive, and while it can be rather sweet in the middle, the drydown is creamy and very mellow with a touch of bitterness that’s not unwelcome. I love the drydown the most, to be honest. It’s so creamy; I wish I could eat it!
Overall, it’s a very bright, light and inoffensive but well-rounded perfume, like a dessert that sits nicely on your palate. Light and fluffy but very creamy. Buttery and rich without it being cloying. This is a very, very beautiful perfume that may come off as understated, but don’t let the subtleness scare you away: Jersey’s as beautiful as it sounds.

Oh my goodness. I sniffed this and had to hold back a slight gagging sensation. Honestly, I thought this would be a love at first sniff, since I love lavender scented oil. But although I can smell the lavender, it is just all wrong! The mix with musk, makes it smell a bit like puke. I am really sorry for the vivid description, this was the only thing I could think of when I smelled it. But note wise, it’s a VERY strong scent with a big domination from the lavender, and then that musky sidekick. Vanilla in the mix,isn’t obvious to me, but I do smell a rounded sweetness. I had a hard time picking up anything else, until well into the dry down where the musk seemed to fade a bit and the wild flowers peeked in. I admittedly only tried this on paper, as I found the scent quite repulsive! But it’s a very interesting scent, and a very honest one that’s for sure.
tatysad – :
I find Chanel Jersey to be the most wearable lavender of all.
Another one amongst many, Lutens Gris Clair is almost as wearable, while being quite the opposite character from Jersey. Gris Clair is impeccably clean, dry, extremely realistic, and finally at the drydown stretching straight into masculinity.
Jersey is very different. In the most fine manner it is exuding the velvety, sweet, “woman’s skin” aura and alltogether behaves much more sparkling, bright and “sunnily”.
Very, very lovely companion with an heartwarmingly beautiful and uplifting spirit.
ment382 – :
I agree it smells like freshly washed laundry. Easy to wear, not off putting, but boring for the price. There are so many more interesting perfumes for the money, I don’t need to spend $$$ to smell like fabric softener.
dragon657 – :
The scent is lovely. It does smell like freshly washed laundry, but in an elegant manner. The lavender in this is so pleasant.
It last on my skin for about 7 hours, and it projects well, it doesn’t choke anyone out, but people around me can notice it without it being cloying.
Very good scent, definitely a must try.
Entexynehef – :
I was hoping for Jicky Chanel style, soft vanilla lavender with the signature Chanel powdery aldehydes and wood. Sadly this is more like Gris Clair Chanel style. The lavender seemed synthetic and cold and far too loud. I wore it on a hot day and it just fell apart on my skin. I’m guessing this is the post-reformulated version cause it’s pretty disappointing. Longevity is remarkably poor as well. It’s extremely rare for a perfume to be completely gone by the end of eight hours on my perfume sipping skin but this one was.
I’ll try it again when it’s not so hot but I’m not optimistic.
Edit: Trying this again and it’s still not working. I’m guessing it’s the musk, always a difficult note for me. Moving on . . .
Jpidus – :
Scent – soft, creamy, refined lavender.
Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one all year round, day or night.
Projection – I did get noticed, it garners compliments.
Longevity – I get 12hrs consistently

yaricus – :
Although I haven’t tested this, I get from all the reviews that this is a lavender musk. If you can’t afford Chanel, I highly recommend Yardley Orange Blossom. In reality it is pure lavender musk.
jphan – :
Jersey is thoroughly well done
Opens with a licorice lavender with a classic aspect, as present in Pour Un Homme of Caron but less sharp, and then comes around a floral light chord, also a little green and clean, like the traditional aldehydes notes, must have.
Soothes all previous accord and in a point joins a velvety vanilla (musky) amazing, and an accurate measurement to determine that this perfume really belongs to this wonderful line of Chanel, harmonious and fantastic job.

I would love to say I love Jersey pritty much. I agree with some review that say ” no drug store bath product to be found here ” and I think I cannot find it in any fragrance brands too. I’m not expert about perfume but I ‘m also very picky. I do love lavender and Jesey is my choice. It is a good quality lavender, it is very soft and not too sharp for me. Jersey has leave a scent of vanilla but that the vanila is not too sweet like you ever smell. First time I worn Jersey on my wrist it made me thinking about a pretty gril standed in the field of lavender, she has a luxurious life and looks elegant.
when I worn Jersey all my friends kept asking me what is the perfume I use. Also my boyfriend love it on me. I’m not a perfumer or expert. I just love using a good quality product. I do love perfume since I was 8 yeas old, It crazy me. I save some money and I bought first bottle for myself. Seem like I am crazy?? Now, when I’m going to buy a perfume for myself I need to remind myself that I need to get a good one ONLY and I MUST love it.
HorbSordIrowl – :
At first I get a spicy warm, American spicy, not the type of spice you associate with another location of the world. It’s a fresh spicy warm that is so clean, which I don’t associate spice with. I associate it with trying to cover up a pungent odor. Much akin to how they used to wear those doctor masks that looked like birds beaks, in that era before they had the simple masks of today and cleanliness by washing hands with soap and water. After that spice, albeit it still lingers there, I get the lovely lavender. I do not get soap or powder, both of which I wouldn’t mind because I love those notes also. This to me is a good church scent, a safe scent for a wedding, etc. I do not think it would be a huge hit in an office environment. I can see a man pulling this off. Although I think it is a strong woman’s fragrance, he certainly can share it with you 🙂 If it’s Jersey, it certainly is not the old worn out sweats, it is a very “designer label” jersey. At first I put off a bit by it, but I like unique, different and mostly Guerlain, but I am really loving this on day 1. So much so, I was playing it safe with only a small spray, and then a few hours later, I gave myself a huge burst on my neck and decollate and wrists. I can see me using this huge bottle in a few months until I get my other Exclusif 22. I say give this a try before you dismiss it. It’s a home run, bases loaded! I like it much better than Coco, but not near as much as 5.

I’ve never truly been a Chanel girl until the Exclusifs line . For some reason, I always thought they smelled dated in some way. Not the “old lady ” type of connotation, but like the perfumes never evolved like other lines ,experimenting with notes and such.
This line is beautiful and refreshing to me! Jersey is just one of the ones I enjoy!
To me , this is the most beautiful lavender! Normally, lavender just doesn’t make my day . It’s normally just too masculine, but this is so feminine ! It’s not too loud, but not quiet either. Then , you have this beautiful vanilla dancing around it. Yum! This is pure sophistication, which is what Chanel represents. Did anyone else get a popsicle stick smell in this too. I let a few friends smell , and they also got it! I happen to love that smell, so I think i need a bottle! LOL!
I guess I’m finally a Chanel girl!
asadovdaniil – :
What a gorgeous and pleasant scent. It surrounds me, delicate, exquisite. This is a very beautiful laverder. I see in the notes that it has musk and vanilla. This is exactly what it is.
I have a few of the Les Exclisifs. I am debating with myself if I should also buy this one. It has all qualities that I am looking for. It also have a beautiful projection (subtle but there for hours).
If you are into the Chanel line, I strongly recommend that you try this one. You will certainly love it!
kangur ilya – :
I find this to be a very pleasant, but not particularly remarkable scent. The sample I tried was good enough to get me to buy a dupe, but even though the dupe wasn’t perfect it wasn’t enough to get my to buy the real thing.
The sample was mostly lavender and grass for me at first with a definite baby powder as well, and as it dried I caught more of the vanilla, musk. The wildflowers, jasmine, and rose didn’t really show up for me.
(For those who care, the Hayward dupe is a very nice scent, but to me understates the vanilla.)
alex_new_2030 – :
I’m not a fan of this one… it smells faintly ike some kind of cleanser, or perhaps a laundry soap. When I sprayed it on my arm the very first thing I thought was, “This smells institutional!”

Madame Chanel or whoever is in charge these days. May I just say that I demand to know what it is that you don’t like about me. I have been very patient and am trying to find something that doesn’t desert my skin after 5 minutes.
(OK, so I love Beige but we are not talking about that now.)
I have just used over a half of a 2ml tester trying to discern any other ingredient other than a very watery lavender. I have pillow sprays that I bought from a local pharmacy that have more lavender in them than this.
And you want me to part with a lot of money to smell like I picked a sheaf of lavender and waved it in the air 2 feet away from me. No thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Disenchanted tester.
P.S. Can you also make sure that your parfumiers make sure they do not leave any of the other ingredients out next time.
Even a tiny glimpse of some vanille or musk would have been nice.
goodday85 – :
I have just committed to a full bottle of this and am hoping I won’t regret it. I am wavering between loving it and then thinking it is overly sweet. Having said that, there is something about it, that other reviewers have identified, that is so calming and comforting that I’m hoping that it will become a favourite. Fingers crossed.
***update: I returned the bottle and kept the three samples. It was just toooooooo sweet. Like lavender (which I love) wrapped in candy floss inside a coffin made of caramel. Some days I like to smell like an explosion in a lavender/candy factory but mostly not. Too expensive to keep for those (rare) days. The samples will suffice.
Xeroxvirst – :
Sometimes you read a review , go through the notes and then later gets the chance to try it and you knew , just knew
– you would love it !
This is such an experience for me…
I only had one little question mark about it and that was the vanilla-
Usually can’t wear or doesn’t wanna wear to much vanilla.
Here together in the lavender tonka grass potpurri it works and doesn’t take the lead .
The rose , jasmine and other flowers are not very present but the grass is. I also get an citrus note very shortly after spraying but it does not stay.
It is actually the very comforting and balmy musk notes that together with the lavender stands out the most on me.
It might be that note you still get the morning hours after a nice sleep, surrounding you with lovely little whifs.
I think this balmy, calming skinscent is what actually keeps some parfumistas from getting it., and that some reviews are really negatively written.
I have always loved musk and lavender and soft – but not boring skinscents.
I wish was easier to get a hold of and less pricey.
Cause this is that kind of scent for me , that sometimes make my collection laugh me right in the face…knowing it was this I was looking for all along !
aleshka75 – :
Jersey on my wrist is all about line-dried clothes combined with lavender. The first thing I smell is freshly washed clothes drying on a clothes line. If you have never had this experience your clothes will pick up all the scents around them particularly if it is a windy day.
These clothes are in a rural setting near a couple of pastures. In the distance is lavender that gets closer and closer but never too close. There is a slight breeze blowing. In the end you get clean, fresh, outdoorsy, and lavender. The lavender is very subtle. The lavender will fade but on my wrists it lasts longer than I would expect.
When I was young I could not afford a clothes drier. I had to hang out my clothes. I was so happy when I got my first clothes drier. I did not, however, anticipate that I would miss the smell of line-dried clothes. At 60 I still do. I’m glad I made this blind buy.
borabora – :
Jersey is all about the lavender, that’s for sure.
Having said that however, it is far from linear!
Starting off, the lavender in Jersey feels pretty aromatic, which is really nice.
I’ts got no overt sweetness at all.
I sense “green” and “brown” notes together with the light purple lavender aroma.
Lavender potpurri, and hay/dried grass is how I would describe the opening.
At this point Jersey smells perfectly unisex to me.
Probably the wildflowers + grass notes that give off this effect when combined.
Fresh hay and dried lavender on a warm summers day, lovely!
As we pass the five minute mark, Jersey brightens up ever so slightly, and a tea like note pushes through.
It smells very much like a classic, black tea (bergamot) infused with lavender.
Not yet brewed, more like the actual tea blend still dry inside the container.
This is how it stays on me for the rest of it’s weartime.
This peaceful and calming composition that is Jersey makes me think of a sitting in the middle of a lavender field, enjoying a nice cup of tea and coockies somewhere in southern Europe.
It is just gorgeous, and it smells surprisingly natural.
A clean and refreshing lavender scent.
Would be a perfect scent to sleep in to ensure sweet dreams.
I see where the powdery assosiation comes from, but to me Jersey is more dust like than powdery, (and I don’t mean that in a bad way)!
Like actual, chalked up lavender.
This is probably one of the most overlooked and underrated of the Les Exclusifs, which is such a shame!
Do yourself a favor and at least test it while trying to keep an open mind.
You might just be as positively surprised as I was!
The sillage is just how I like it, not too close, but not a monster either. It is “just right”.
It also seems to last for quite a while on me, at least 10 hours, softening slowly as the hours slip away.
There is something in Jersey that makes me feel so incredibly nostalgic. Something about it takes me back in time, back to my carefree childhood.
I don’t know how Chanel did it, but for that, I can’t help but to love Jersey.
DrumNBazzer – :
Lovely lavender fragrance.
The opening was a bit underwhelming to me – powdery lavender (smells like something old and not very fresh). Few moments after the fragrance shows it’s beauty: crisp vanilla-tonka been lavender. Very nice!
Later lavender becomes more musky and a bit soapy on my skin. The last stage – a baby powder smell.
Overall Chanel Jersey it a quiet , comforting, casual fragrance.

A LAVENDER BATH / clean AIR DRIED LAUNDRY
Sooothing, warm and refreshing. All in one.
This perfume smells like you are sitting in a warm bathtub filled with essential lavender oil , bubbles all around you, refreshing and aromatic. My parents always bathed in essential oils , this is exactly it.
Sweet lavender with a vanilla , tonka musky feel , very aromatic , a little soapy.
A feminine lavender at last , rounded with vanilla and tonka. Beautiful , casual, classy t shirt and jeans perfume.
The thing with Jersey is it has a fresh lavender herbal start but quickly goes into a warm sweet musky rosy vanilla tonka smell. Omg just writing this makes me want to put some on.
This never fails to get lots of compliments. Everyone wants to know where they can buy this.
A reviewer in here said it smelled like air dried laundry. I have to say that’s very true to how exactly this smells like ,,,well AND a warm lavender bath,,,,An amazing scent.
Top shelf !!!

Jersey is the last of the Les Exclusifs line that I have tried. After reading the initial abysmal reviews, I didn’t even see the need to bother. But curiosity got the best of me and I finally decided to try it (after having the sample for a couple of months).
And…..I love it. Ignore the bad reviews and decide this one for yourself. Maybe it is that whole expecting the worst and you are pleasantly surprised thing going on I’m not sure. But whatever it is, I absolutely love Jersey. The lavend
