A fragrance of intense notes with a classic style… An aroma that makes me feel like a king when I apply it. Cinnamon, citrus, tonka bean, clove, rose, and that cardamom. Mind-blowing.
Another great creation by Annick Menardo, just like Roma, my signature fragrance. A masterpiece, nothing more to add.
This review will be ‘anti-bubble’ and I know many forum companions I follow and admire won’t like it or will disagree, but I respect their opinions. Since my job involves a lot of contact with people, I conducted a survey on centennials and millennials (youth aged 17 to 28). I applied Jaipur on one forearm (2003 batch, well-preserved in a dark box and fresh) and on the other, Sauvage EDT 2015. I won’t describe Jaipur since there are many excellent reviews; I’ll just say it has a delicious cinnamon that, after 20 minutes, blends with tonka bean and cardamom to become one of my most pleasant and elegant fragrances. I asked them to lower their face masks and asked which they liked more: the result was 18 or 19 to zero in favor of Dior’s Sauvage. When I asked them what Jaipur smelled like, they said ‘older person’ and some even said ‘elderly.’ I clarify that I prefer Jaipur, but I’m already over 50. Longevity was similar, though Sauvage’s trail was greater, perhaps due to the age of my batch. A bit disappointed, I analyzed several things. I compared perfumery with fashion: what seemed super-elegant 20 or 30 years ago is now outdated, though of excellent quality. I thought about that dynamism of tastes and how target audiences change and renew, implying a major shift in trends. We always complain about strategies from companies like Dior, Chanel, or Bvlgari, but maybe it’s just to survive and win. What I don’t forgive is when they reformulate and it smells the same but is alcoholic and watery, with poor performance and diluted components, while keeping the price: a pseudo-scam. My humble contribution with this mini-survey (I still prefer Jaipur, a classic jewel) and respectful greetings.
@Leonardo da Vincho, dear: imagine that young people are bombarded daily with fake advertising from major fashion and technology brands. The constant attack of aggressive ads and impactful photos from multinationals makes products seem almost identical. It’s normal that they try to conquer new generations with easy designs. A fragrance like Jaipur is a mysterious and chaotic universe, something difficult and intimidating at first. To understand it, you have to take an olfactory journey, smell, interpret, and perceive with heart and mind. That can only be achieved with time, passion, and stepping out of modern perfumery schemes. It would be interesting to run that reverse test with people over 40. It’s always a pleasure to read your reviews, greetings.
Hello @jerry drake, thanks for your contribution, I totally agree. What I wrote are general opinions, not my personal taste, as I already clarified. I highlight two points: the olfactory journey, that self-learning process of smelling with attention and sometimes with help, to notice notes, quality, and the soul of the fragrance. There are perfumes I almost gave away years ago because I didn’t like them, but over time I learned to enjoy them. The other topic is age; with this Boucheron Jaipur and Bentley For Men Intense, I’ve only seen that they appeal to people aged 45 to 70 with olfactory training. I’ll run that survey in reverse and send it to you privately. I really appreciate your reviews and those of other forum members for the clarity of their concepts; per the rules, I can only write to you privately. Greetings and thanks, everything adds up.
Does anyone know when it was reformulated? They say the first formula was from 1998 to approx. 2009… I saw an EDT from 2011 with a 9-digit batch, and I have a decant from 2002 with a 4-number batch, which I owe a thousand thanks to Leonardo da Vincho for knowing about in its first version. It drives me crazy, it’s marvelous. I love everything: the opening, evolution, and development. It has an air of other eras, but I’d love to find a man who smells like this (though to be honest, I’d love to use it myself; in fact, I bought an Amouage Fate Woman tester at a ridiculous price because some voted for a similarity, and if the cinnamon in Fate has anything to do with Jaipur’s, I’m more than satisfied). In the opening, it has an orange-amber note that reminds me of Natura’s Kaiak Aventura men’s cologne (one of my favorite men’s fragrances of all time), but they aren’t the same, just share some traits. After a while, I see that Calvin Klein’s Obsessed Intense Fem has a lot in common with this vintage Jaipur. The CK one doesn’t have spices or cinnamon, so they aren’t the same, but they do share a very similar green accord, though less delicate and refined. I just want to add that it was very interesting to clearly identify the cinnamon note here: a woody, warm, and dry cinnamon (very similar to Kenzo Jungle Tiger), so different from other fruitier, tinkling, and fresher expressions, like in Shiraz, Feminité du Bois, or Essential Supreme.
Sad reality: mediocrities like Sauvage or Bleu dominate today, leaving no room for masterpieces like Jaipur, Opium, or Egoiste.
I received the 2011 version tomorrow, and wow! I didn’t expect something so different from the 2002. This new formula is much sweeter and warmer, losing almost all that fresh-resinous touch that, combined with Jaipur’s DNA, used to blow my mind. The 2002 opens more citrusy, more ‘orange,’ and generally can’t be called ‘sweet.’ The opening of the 2011 reminds me a bit of the green-vanilla batches of Le Male… They share the heart, but I feel the 2011 was updated (besides regulations and raw materials, they gave it a more trendy touch for the era) and moved away from that ‘period’ imprint—because although it launched in 1998, it smells like a 70s-80s cologne (and we loved it that way!). Definitely, the votes for similarity with Amouage Fate go to this new formula, because the 2002 doesn’t resemble Amouage at all. It’s just a similarity in general warmth, since the 2011 Jaipur and Fate aren’t very alike either. Comparatively, the longevity of the 2011 is half that of the 2002, but the projection seems about the same, both quite soft. What’s done is done! I guess I’ll start a patient search for a Jaipur from the 2000s. P.S. The box for the 2011 says ‘INTERPARFUMS’ as the manufacturer, in case it helps anyone… 9-digit batch: number-number-letter-number-number-letter-number-number-number. I don’t have more data for the 2002; I’ll ask the owner of the bottle who gave me the decant.
Jaipur is the most difficult fragrance on the market labeled ‘Pour Homme.’ It’s even more controversial than Kouros because many men don’t feel identified with this scent, yet it generates immense satisfaction due to its sweetness, magic, and unprecedented elegance. It has great longevity and deserves to be worn repeatedly until you get used to it. It’s one of the few designer fragrances I’d say possesses a magic unlike any other. The downside is that it’s hard to wear; you need to be very elegant or at least dressed casually. It’s a bomb of spices and flowers that could easily fit into the niche category. Perfectly unisex, and I own the limited edition from Parfums de Joaillier.
It starts with an ‘old-school’ scent—a chaotic citrus blend with cinnamon and clove that smells like an older lady and baby powder. After 15 minutes, the magic begins as it settles into vanilla and spices. That feminine touch is exactly what makes it sexy. Once it stabilizes, it reminds me of Le Male or Cuba Gold, but without the lavender. If you’re careful with your sprays, it works great on cool summer nights. Totally recommended if you want to give Le Male a more oriental twist.
The king of perfumes. Although I have the Eau de Parfum version, I believe it’s one of my staples and I’d always buy it. It has such a unique and oriental opening that no better name exists than Jaipur… the spicy cardamom combines with fresh, resinous bergamot, then cinnamon, a tonka bean similar to vanilla but creamier, and cedar gives it a woody touch. It invites you to meditate in a Hindu temple, the solemnity of a scent that makes you think how beautiful and simple life is in other parts of the world.
Buy it while you can! A gem of perfumery!
A proper spicy oriental. It has floral touches, but on my nose, cardamom, cinnamon, patchouli, and cedar resting on a somewhat weak vanilla dominate. Regarding longevity and sillage, I’ve read wonders about the vintage version, but I’ve had to get to know Jaipur with current batches, and I still liked it. I imagine those past formulations were a bomb. Now it meets the current standard of ‘all moderate.’ As for wearability, I find it more suitable for cold climates and it’s extremely unisex, so as an alternative, I recommend Kenzo’s ‘Jungle L’elephant,’ which I consider quite superior. They don’t smell too similar, but the idea of strong exotic oriental is there. Maybe that’s the true spicy bomb many seek in Jaipur. If you liked Boucheron’s, I think Kenzo’s ‘version’ is a must-try. All this, without diminishing Annick Menardo’s work, whose creations are always as exquisite as they are memorable.
Undoubtedly good. The opening is absolutely striking and opulent. In this phase, I imagine one of those 1920s gangsters from Chicago’s working-class neighborhoods who, once at the top, are impeccably dressed, groomed, and perfumed. Then it develops, but what has caught my attention most is that I smell vanilla, and apparently, it’s not listed among the ingredients. I smell it from right and left without being able to get rid of it. Regardless, it has a glorious, rich, and nuanced base. It’s very classy. I agree it’s perfectly unisex. I don’t see it as a modern fragrance, but personally, that’s not so important and is quite relative. I recommend trying it.
This perfume is clearly well-constructed, projects well, and lasts about 6 hours. It’s not a modern scent; it requires semi-formal attire. Women don’t like it much because it’s very spicy.
I call it the fragrance of indifference. No one in my circle, men or women, is seduced by this scent, yet I consider it a gem. Yes, it’s warm and spicy, not easy for a nose accustomed to trendy perfumes, but beyond that, I love wearing it regardless of whether others like it. It doesn’t bother people like others do; rather, it’s a scent they wouldn’t want to wear themselves. I don’t recommend buying it blind or for romantic dates, but I guarantee it will get your attention in some way. It’s elegant, sophisticated, and extravagant.
Batch 2001. I tried it in-store, it didn’t quite convince me, but I had faith and bought it. I can’t stop smelling it; it’s frankly addictive. It smells timeless and exotic, transporting you to the Hawa Mahal, the palace that inspired the bottle in Rajasthan, India (hence the name). At first sniff, it might seem unisex, but it evolves beautifully into a very sensual scent. It’s complete elegance, an oriental by definition. It could have been Rudyard Kipling’s signature perfume. I should have known it sooner; it’s an absolute delight. It’s not for everyone, as @svazquez7 said: you don’t choose to wear it, the perfume chooses you.
Let me just say this: it smells like a Tom Ford floral on my skin. The citrus everyone mentions isn’t noticeable on me (and I’m grateful for that); instead, there are flowers, opulence, and undeclared vanilla. It has the perfect balance between fresh and sweet. With this fragrance, I can’t stop smelling it; it brings back memories I don’t even have. I recommend trying it, even blind.
It’s an absolute gem, spectacular!
I bought it blind based on the notes and I must say, I loved it. I’m a woman and this perfume is extremely unisex, very similar to Guerlain’s Shalimar. It has excellent longevity and here it’s much more affordable than the original (which I also own). It’s a fantastic alternative for all budgets and both genders.
How can anyone compare Pi, Halloween Man, Shalimar to Jaipur, please!!!! Those people suffer from anosmia, there’s no other explanation.
What a great perfume. It’s like shaving foam, soapy and sweet. It has presence, intensity, and good longevity. Unlike 95% of current fragrances, Jaipur Homme is a true example of how a perfume should be made. A masterpiece.
What a treat. I want it. This must be amazing in cold weather… I notice it’s incense-like and warm. It reminds me of Opium, although Jaipur seems less religious to me. What peace.
A perfume with everything a good perfume should have. As the saying goes, taste is subjective, but I love it. Don’t buy blindly, but try it on your skin and let it develop. A must-have for collectors. Soft fragrance, spicy oriental type. Long-lasting and non-intrusive projection. Acceptable price for what it offers.
They gave it to me and at first I thought it was boring. Then, months later, I wore it a bit and couldn’t take my nose off my wrist. It’s a very well-balanced cinnamon with a bright sensation that you never get tired of.
Jaipur briefly reminds me of its cousin Boucheron Pour Homme due to the citrusy opening, but only for a few seconds. Then it evolves into something completely different. Being an EDT and in an era where perfumes don’t last, it has excellent longevity; I put it on 8 hours ago and I can still smell it. I think the star note is the cinnamon, which makes it unique. It’s truly vintage, from another era, but totally usable today. To my nose, it smells like a proper unisex scent.
Too feminine for my taste, I ended up gifting it to a friend who absolutely loved it.
True to its name, JaÏpur; an Indian-inspired scent where spices, clove, cardamom, and cinnamon blend on my skin. A warm, elegant aroma with great projection and a vintage style. Recommended for bold men with personality who love spices.
Although it’s warm, on my skin it stays very light and fresh. At first, it tingles a bit with the cinnamon and lime, very masculine notes, but it softens quickly until it settles into a green, spicy cinnamon thanks to a very realistic clove. Despite being fresh, the benzoin and tonka give it a powdery and warm touch. It has strong projection (until it tickles my nose) for a few hours, then stays close to the skin for another 6. I loved it. Although the first minutes are very masculine, I see it as unisex. It reminds me of Black by Bvlgari, no surprise there, same creator and year. I see it for fresh spring and autumn days, with a vintage touch that distinguishes it from current trends without being modern. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 7/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 7/10
Smells like the 90s, I don’t know why but it transports me back to those golden times. Sweet, elegant, spicy, and classic… it brings to mind the 1998 World Cup, Mark Morrison, the Backstreet Boys, high school, and Beverly Hills. God bless the 90s!
My first impression on the opening was Armani Eau pour Homme, the new version, mixed with Le Male, then moving to a dry down totally similar to Le Male. Citrus-sweet opening moving to sweet, slightly citrusy and talcum-like. But the second and third time I applied it, I started to feel it was totally unique. Maybe something similar to Armani Code, especially the A-List. It’s like a cinnamon dessert. Really a delicious, comfortable, and magnetic scent. If you use perfumes to please, with this you’ll have compliments from women of all ages, 100% guaranteed. My girlfriend, for example, loves it. It reminds her of a baby perfume smell and every time I wear it, she sticks to my neck inhaling it strongly. She is 25 years old (the same age as this perfume), so those who worry too much about it smelling ‘too mature’ to wear, I’d say they can rest easy. Incredible longevity. Incredible and unique fragrance, recommended to keep even backup bottles. In winter is when it shines, both the EDT and EDP versions (in the EDT the citrus comes out a bit more), but this delight can be used in any season and at any time. A marvel and one of my favorites in my modest collection. 10/10 😍
I suggest testing it on skin. It felt like one of those that loses a lot of its charm when tested only on paper.
Jaïpur Homme EDT: Opening: A very aromatic citrus and floral opening. Heart: Right away, the citrus and flowers give way to a spicy combination where cinnamon predominates. Dry Down: The dry down is defined by fragrant cinnamon accompanied by benzoin, a tonka bean that adds a touch of cleanliness, and cedar that adds seriousness and maturity to close the ensemble. Projection and Longevity: Its projection is about 6 hours, its longevity sits around 10-12 hours. Conclusion: A journey to a spice market in India, where a creamy and imposing cinnamon dominates the ensemble, with the other spices and woods providing that rich and pleasant oriental background. It’s a fragrance in the old-fashioned style (I’d say for use from age 30 onwards), as while it’s slightly sweet (to the extent it should be), it avoids the vanillas and caramels that many current fragrances use, which are more focused on pleasing everyone rather than having personality. Its trail and longevity are quite notable in cold weather, so I don’t recommend using it on hot days or in enclosed spaces (it’s very invasive in these conditions).
What a wonderful perfume!! I find it tedious to describe the notes! I can only say it’s a sublime scent, soft and balsamic spices perfectly blended that transform it into a delicious smell, very addictive, tender and sensual at the same time! Impossible for anyone to dislike it!
I feel like being so harsh on a perfume with so much hype, but we’re facing an authentic marketing campaign to sell an unmistakably feminine fragrance to a male audience.
I like it more and more. I bought it online at a great price (in department stores in Peru it usually costs over $70, I found it for less than half that) and I must confess that at first it didn’t impress me at all, so I left it at the bottom of the closet. However, this cold winter I decided to give it another chance, and it seems like a beautiful perfume. It’s much more complex than I remembered. The balance between citrus and powdery notes is delicious. It’s elegant and ‘luminous,’ almost energetic, a great ingredient to finish waking up on a cold winter morning. I see some comment that it’s very feminine, or at least unisex. I think they have a point, but diving deeper into the world of perfumes also implies questioning those rigid canons or molds. In the end, it’s about wearing something you enjoy. Those of us who collect these small pieces of art can find pleasure in having a plurality of aromas, and personally I find satisfaction in not having all the scents in my collection repeat the same concept of masculinity. This perfume allows that; it’s a way to step out of that box a bit. I like having it, I like how it clashes with the typically masculine aromas that dominate my collection.
Jaipur is a beautiful perfume, very cozy, with a gorgeous evolution. It has great longevity on skin and lasts a couple of days on clothes. I recommend testing it before buying, as there are similar scents that remind you you already own one. That was the reason I decided to remove it from my collection.
I feel like it’s missing something, like a touch of orange blossom or vanilla to give it body and make it heavier for cold days, like leather. Or perhaps a bright citrus with something to add freshness to turn it into a summer scent.
I absolutely love that it smells 100% like soap; it turns my head. It’s very similar to Magno gel.
Enough preamble, let’s get to the point: it smells like that classic Magno gel but more polished and unisex. Do I like it? Yes, but not enough to wear it myself.
