Another try on my search for makeup-y scents. This one is a good violet powder, lipstick floral (not clearly rose)with a smooth vanilla base. It’s a bit like a perfumed lotion. Lovely and gentle. VERY like my beloved Guerlain L’Heure de Nuit, but side by side, Sans un Mot has less licorice and more powder. I like it very much, and I don’t much like powder scents for all that I’m trying out tons these days.

This is a pretty perfume, although I didn’t really like the sharp opening, which must be due to the black currants. It doesn’t feel very special when you stack it against other rose perfumes.
It can stand on its own merits, but since I already have Portrait of a Lady and Isparta I won’t be buying a full bottle. I do like those better and feel they last longer too.

Sans un Mot is definitely a feminine, powdery fragrance, to my nose. Although I don’t usually opt for fragrances that resonate with a powdery polarity, this one is rather light and definitely ladylike. This would be an unobtrusive fragrance that I would be comfortable wearing in an environment where a heavy fragrance would not be appropriate. Here, Jovoy has achieved a lovely balance of these accords.

When I first smelled Sans un Mot I couldn’t believe how familiar the scent was…I just couldn’t put my finger on what it reminded me of. It definitely smelled like a cosmetic product that I had used in the past (makeup, perfume, haircare, baby powder, Vaseline, etc.) A few hours later, it finally hit me- it was none other than KENZO FLOWER! Gosh I can’t stand Flower, even though I should love it to pieces because it has all my favorite notes.
Sans un Mot is like a softer, more tolerable Flower to my nose. A delicate powdery floral fragrance, but not diaper-y like Flower comes off to me lol. A fellow MUAer said Sans un Mot reminds her of the scent of Lancome lipsticks, I need to sniff ‘em sometime to compare!
A pleasant, modern, and glamorous ladylike scent. It’s nice, but I prefer other fragrances in this category including Terry de Gunzberg Ombre Mercure, Frederic Malle Lipstick Rose, Love Chloe Eau Intense, Chanel Misia, and Ferragamo Emozione.
Update 12/11/2015: I just tried a Revlon Moon Drops lipstick for the first time, the scent immediately reminded me of Sans un Mot.

I am trying this out on the beach on a hot summer day, against all fragrance odds…and it works! Sans in mot is tender powdery and flowery. It is whiff of a dainty lady in her 30ies and up – it must be the iris adding a touch of that lipstick scent which is always associated with maturity for me. Excellent choice for a feel good fragrance which will not only not offend anyone around you but on the contrary, will raise many an eyebrow with “what is this really nice scent you are wearing?”

Top Notes. Could be called sweet powdery musk, Dominant violet notes.
Good use of pepper.
Mid notes, complimentary rose scent appears.
Good follow on to top notes.
Rose dominates in the dry down.
Feminine scent.
Sillage to arms length.
Low on longevity, a couple of hours.

I ignore the other notes. what a shame!
