  Positively disconcerting. It’s incredible how it remains relevant and has a real unisex character despite being from the late 19th century. It’s unpredictable. The opening is fresh and a bit wild due to the rosemary; you think you can guess where it’s going, but then it starts playing games with you, revealing its lavender. Don’t trust it; it sweetens up a bit and you’re lost. You surrender and let yourself be carried away by this soft, subtle marvel that isn’t fully revealed, but with which you feel very comfortable. A superb composition, like Erik Satie’s ‘Gymnopédies’: a light but atypical work that deliberately challenges many rules.

  Totally disconcerting. Incredible that it remains relevant and is unisex despite being from the late 19th century. It’s unpredictable: it starts fresh and wild with rosemary, but then it plays a game with you. It surprises you with the lavender, don’t trust it, it sweetens up and you have to surrender. You let yourself be carried away by this soft, subtle marvel that isn’t fully discovered, but with which you feel comfortable. A superb composition, like Satie’s Gymnopédies: light but atypical, challenging all the rules.

  The citrus and lavender explode at first, covering everything else. Although Jicky quickly reveals the depth of its heart, that’s where the citrus and lavender recede to make way for a potent vanilla, with soft touches of leather and tonka bean. This is the current EDP; I was lucky enough to try the extract from the first edition, with a glass cap, dark blue and gold label. Almost identical to the new version, except the top notes don’t hit so hard; you can feel the essence from the heart, and it has a creamier, less citrusy touch. Regarding Shalimar, I think Jicky has less incense and leather, is less aggressive, creamier, and lavender plays a key role, something that doesn’t exist in Shalimar. Clearly they are related, but they are two distinct scents. A fragrance too interesting for everyone.

  I regret buying this. I tried it for the first time tonight after a shower, and since I bought it blind without testing it properly, I didn’t like it. I bought it out of curiosity about the Guerlain brand. Honestly, it gives me nausea; at times it reminds me of my grandparents on Sundays with that soapy, lavender, and rosemary smell, but on the other hand, it just smells unappealing. Even though I adore scents like Rive Gauche or Santos, this one clashes with me. I’m going to end up with an expensive room freshener because it smells terrible on my skin. I acknowledge it’s a good fragrance and does justice to its notes, but after an hour, it still isn’t for me. I’d say it’s for men 65 and older. I wear Nenuco or Chanel No. 5 and look great with both.

  I definitely can’t handle it. If anyone wants to make a change…

  Jicky by Guerlain: The pure legend of perfumery since 1928 in Paris. Even with today’s technology and chemistry, many modern scents still copy that base. This family house, with masters like Aimé and Gabriel, created something more than just money or fame; it was true art. It smells strong, dense, with that fruity, floral, and amber blend that is very old-school and potent. Citrus, synthetic coumarin, lavender, and dark vanilla… it’s a scent that divides opinions. Although reformulated today, it remains nocturnal and aggressive, outshining 90% of what’s out there now. For people with character; nothing for cheap fashion fans.

  Jicky by Guerlain: an authentic legend. Born in Paris in 1928, it paved the way for the entire house. Today, with all today’s technology and chemistry, many current fragrances are based on it. They were master perfumers in an era where it was a vocational art, not just money and ostentation. It’s a modern perfume, ahead of its time and eternal. The scent is strong, smelling of a fruity, floral, herbal, amber, dense, and dirty mix, very old-school, penetrating, and dizzying. Love it or hate it. Citrus, synthetic coumarin, lavender, dark vanilla, something like rotten rose, jasmine, and spices. Made in 1889, totally unisex, much less feminine than Moschino’s Toy Boy, for people with character. If you’re a novice or a fan of seasonal fragrances, if you’ll excuse me, go away. Even though it’s reformulated, it still has its nocturnal side and it stomps on 90% of current perfumery.
