  A wonderful perfume with an ancient profile from centuries past. Smells like soap, talcum powder, and incense. One of my all-time favorites; I was told it’s discontinued. Totally worth buying a stash for future decades—it’s incredibly special and elegant.

  Review of JE REVIENS by WORTH: EDT. Smells like old-school Chanel No. 5 and Youth Dew, featuring aldehydes, florals, spices, and hard woods—strong and almost masculine. It’s fascinating how perfumes define eras; these fragrances from the 40s and 50s, created in any given moment, embodied post-war women: hardened, fighting to survive, working, and fiercely feminist without even knowing it. Today, women who believe they’ve conquered equality are bombarded by extra-sweet, nauseating, hyper-sugared fruit choulis trying to turn them into docile dolls so they forget their ambitions and return to the arms of Dad or the honey-daddy husband. If you’re obsessed with size 36, vertigo-inducing heels, California highlights, and implants, you’re not only not liberated enough to understand JE REVIENS, but anyone wearing it today is expected to be called ‘yaya,’ ‘granny,’ or ‘musty.’ The aldehydic opening is a statement of principles: nothing soft or powdery, everything bold. The florals, if present, seem like outbursts of fury; the citrus, if there, are sour, wild, sharp, and unripe. There are cloves like in YSL’s Opium, intense musk without compromise, moss, and woody vetiver. It’s a marked chypre fougère with a base of sandalwood and gum resins. Sillage and longevity are above average. Only for women like Joan Crawford, Ava Gardner, and Bette Davis: they thought, they acted, and they were feminists. When they said JE REVIENS (I’M BACK), you could consider yourself abandoned.

  Another jewel of great beauty and splendor that takes me back to childhood because my mother used to bathe in it, enveloping the entire environment with that divine trail of a perfume with the class, beauty, and elegance of the past, which were only announced and presented, making people ask ‘what’s your perfume called.’ I still have a bottle I treat like a holy relic, which I smell from time to time to transport myself to times of a happy past.

  I’m back with the vintage EDP, a proposal with magical attraction for me, a creation with a soul that impresses me every time I smell it. It’s a very big perfume, surely different for finding a place on a modern woman’s skin. Smelling it makes me imagine ladies who knew how to exploit their femininity and stir up male jealousy, driving gentlemen to madness and gifts in exchange for a smile and silent promises of passionate attention. Fairies like those of the Moulin Rouge, with uninhibited sexuality and languid coquetry, owners of the desires of cultured and powerful gentlemen, with a halo of total uninhibition. That uninhibition wasn’t vulgarity or baseness: a graceful face, a swan neck, dreamy eyes, and an elegant indulgence gave certain ladies a taste of purity that made them more sinful and desirable to suitors hoping to get lost in courtship rituals where modesty and malice intertwined vibrant dialogues with uncertain and passionate endings. Easy to fall into temptation when aldehydes, bergamot, and jasmine caress your senses and you perceive a soft, elegant aura of lilac, rose, and oakmoss, with the power to excite you by imagining someone deep, seductive, yet vulnerable and nostalgic. Its green is soft, illuminated from within like light through a jade screen. A touch of clove keeps the fragrance alive, and neroli infuses it with a sinful, youthful innocence, surprising if you look at the launch date. It’s a scent I’m passionate about, highlighted by a floral, aromatic, and woody bouquet that brings a sensual, calming, and warm sensation, with smoky and sweet touches, almost like a delicate incense accompanying its development to create a natural, warm, and deep essence. I close my eyes and imagine reclining on a red velvet chaise longue, with that dream woman beside me, soaked in that seductive atmosphere and hypnotized by her beauty while we drink champagne, overwhelmed by her skin that smells like Je reviens, feeling it dangerously mine, like the desire to leave together the next day to start a new life. Then? After sharing sighs with that voluptuous lady who frames the exuberance of the senses and the pleasure of sin, I return to my time and space to give rigor to the loss, bring order to the whirlwind of emotions, and realize once again that perhaps I was born in the wrong era.

  This perfume caught me off guard. About five years ago, I bought the bottle and felt overwhelmed, as if the scent was weighing me down instead of carrying me; I felt old and eventually gifted it away. This autumn, I dared to buy it again. It’s a new reformulation, much softer and ‘watery,’ but it wears with far more ease and charm. I love its aldehydic side, the hyacinth, and the violet. Despite being lighter, the trail and longevity are excellent. It feels comparable to E. Arden’s ‘Blue Grass’—they’re very similar, but I notice more lavender in the Arden version. I think it’s a great idea to give it another shot this autumn-winter.
