  Smells similar to Avon’s Timeless that dusty rose and cypress…

  I was gifted it. It projects strongly; you have to apply very little and to me it felt suffocating smelling of an older lady. I don’t recommend it.

  I’ve always loved the advertising for this perfume: that romantic idea of walking through meadows full of white flowers in a loose dress playing with the wind. Surrounded by the beauty of nature and a man who seems to be on our search like a blue prince. All filmed with vivid colors in a misty atmosphere. To my surprise I ended up buying this fragrance. I always hesitated to get it because of people criticizing the reformulation and because sometimes green-cut florals don’t always attract me. That’s why I finally bought it when I saw it in a window display (something that had never happened to me until today). I regret not buying it sooner; Jontué is a splendid floral. I know it’s from the 70s but it feels more like the 80s. I can even picture Nancy from ‘Stranger Things’ at the Great Dance wearing this scent. The composition reminds me a bit of Pavlova Payot or Guerlain’s Jardin de la Bagatelle those super loud white florals that defined an era. Broadly speaking white flowers moss and mimosas. Wrapped in a sweet musk with small green touches. The mimosa and chamomile join to form almost a single note very similar to what happens in Estée Lauder’s Beautiful but I notice Lauder is more ambitious playing with a tipsy side and double the notes while Revlon sticks more to its idea of an intense floral without excesses. As soon as you spray it it’s very narcotic; in fact it’s surprising that a cologne is so concentrated. It might last about 30 minutes but obviously it fades quickly after that. After 4 hours it’s very soft on the skin. The good thing is we can reapply it as much as we want once this happens. I don’t understand why people were so harsh on the reformulation of this fragrance; it sometimes prevents people from wanting to buy it. I didn’t try the old version but I know vintage; I think this to be a cheap cologne is more than acceptable in terms of aroma and performance. It really manages to convey what I saw in the advertisement.

  Romantic from the first spray to the end it smells like a field of flowers and reflects the beauty and naturalness of life with that unique coquettish Revlon touch. It’s gorgeous woody green floral with herbs and subtle touches of fresh elegant chamomile flowers… the longevity is surprising and it’s timeless. It reminds me of Chanel 19 just to give you an idea. You can still find it available.

  It brings back memories of my student days with Jontue a delicate and tender fragrance. The mimosa chamomile and rose create a magical garden that sometimes reminds me of Avon’s Timeless but Jontue has more character that of a feminine and confident woman. I found it recently in a shop in a distant town in a display case with an old box; the seller told me it was faded I asked her to sell it to me and she gave it to me for a ridiculous price. It returned my most beautiful time; the liquid was intact and the scent was just like the memory… beautiful!

  Jontue lives up to a nostalgia: it’s delicate and tender. The mimosa chamomile and rose create a magical garden that sometimes reminds me of Avon’s Timeless but Jontue has more body and character. It’s not rough; it’s deeply feminine. I found it recently in a shop in a remote town in a display case with a box faded by time. The seller wanted it for a low price and sold it to me for a laugh. When I opened it the liquid was intact and the scent was exactly as I remembered from my student days. It felt like returning to my most beautiful era. Beautiful!

  This review is for the current version of JONTUE. The first spray hits with that green balsamic touch from Cacharel’s Eden a floral and balsamic explosion. Jontue is very green at first like nature forests honeyed yellow flowers and a menthol touch. Even though honey isn’t listed I sense it. Olfactorily it’s like a freshly cut bouquet with resinous and mentholated touches perhaps from the cypress all very subtle nothing as rough as a men’s scent. To me it smells feminine. It’s elegant but with an unusual femininity for a woman who doesn’t seek approval or to be judged by her scent or clothes someone confident in herself. It’s a country scent for someone living away from gossip and urban noise maintaining elegance and good taste from childhood. Very Old Money the trend of wealthy Americans who see good dressing as a mantra many dedicated to equestrianism; Jontue’s advertising was 100% aimed at that profile: beautiful women in the country with horses. This perfume makes you live a beautiful experience recalling country summers that smell of flowers earth and cypresses that arrives with a fresh breeze. American women in the late 70s and 80s aspired to Old Money for status; they embraced the classic with a modern touch as this fragrance was novel for the era since green florals started gaining popularity because those who wore them knew the olfactive path was for high-born landowners familiar with them like Chanel N°19. It’s a beautiful fragrance and I can say I know it well beyond country summers because I have it in my olfactory memory with my history teacher when I was studying. She was a lady over 60 with a marked and strict personality of good taste spending hours talking about her travels and her hands showed elegant rings with stones; I’d curiously ask about her jewelry and she’d tell me she bought them in the countries she visited Hungary being one I remember. Yes she had the world. A perfume is an experience and if Jontue evoked what I deduced from her Revlon did it perfectly. A perfume created for people of Old Money taste inherited wealth living far from the city. I’ve read it has reformulations and that the old one was heavier the one I remember drying down to is Giorgio Beverly Hills but very far… mind you Giorgio also targeted the Old Money crowd. Definitely in my little experience I discovered something: these perfumes appeal to olfactory experiences like the ones I mentioned. Nowadays I don’t think perfume houses put in the work that used to take years. Today they just seek fashion influenced by Fast Fashion and mass-market the latest fragrance imitating a disgusting cocktail of whipped cream caramel and boozy fruit that gives you headaches. Fast Fashion is the equivalent of low-cost massified and disposable fashion. That’s how I would categorically describe today’s fashion perfumes or celebrity scents. As for legacy? Forget it. Would I buy Jontue again? Definitely yes.

  Here’s my verdict on the current JONTUE: the first spray brings back that green balsamic explosion from Cacharel’s Eden. It’s pure nature—forests and honeyed yellow flowers—with a subtle menthol touch that doesn’t shout. Even though honey isn’t listed it smells like it. Imagine a freshly cut bouquet with resinous cypress notes; it’s incredibly refined nothing as rough as a men’s scent. To me it smells distinctly feminine. It has an unusual feminine elegance for someone confident who doesn’t seek validation like someone living in the countryside away from the noise and gossip maintaining good taste from childhood. It’s the epitome of American Old Money: beautiful women horses and that aesthetic the wealthy families of the 70s and 80s used. It evokes country summers earth and cypresses with a fresh breeze. It reminds me of my history teacher a lady over 60 strict but worldly who traveled to Hungary and wore rings with precious stones. Revlon nailed this for people of inherited wealth far from the city. I’ve read the old version was heavier and that Giorgio Beverly Hills shares that spirit but JONTUE is on another level. Nowadays perfume houses just copy fast fashion—those creamy caramel and boozy fruit cocktails that give you headaches; no legacy here. But with JONTUE I’d buy it again without hesitation.
