Rich, heady fruits

Boucheron is a house that I greatly respect and admire. Their fragrances are always classy and elegant and their bottles, while unique and a little strange, are very attractive. I was eager to try Jaipur, however because fruity florals aren't my thing, it took me a while to become accustomed to the way it smelt.

Peach and pineapple, when presented in a syrupy and rich fashion in fragrances, quite often turn my stomach. This fragrance is what I'd call a potent fruity floral. It's strong enough to be worn in Winter, while walking through the snow and icy, cold winds.

The top notes were a little too much for me. It smelt like an array of mushed fruits with a heady aroma of liquer. The sweetness was a little overwhelming too. Towards the heart, the loud fruitiness diminishes slightly, making way for soft, slightly powdered florals.

I began to like Jaipur a little more with its candied fruits and feminine floral accords. I could sense the elegance, which was similar to the beautiful, distinctive Boucheron pour Femme. All their fragrances tend to have a very 'golden' and expensive feel.

Jaipur is quite lush and intense. There are some beautiful moments when the rose, peony and carnation immerge. I find some similarities between Jaipur and Fragonard's Billet Doux, but only towards the drydown. The base notes are deliciously rich and soothingly sweet with vanilla, benzoin and amber creating a somewhat exotic end to a strange yet captivating fragrance.

The longevity and sillage are very strong, so I recommend applying with a light hand. I think it could wear well in almost any season, but I will stress that this is not a fragrance for little girls. It's very classy, mature and lady-like.

Candy-Lady

Candygirls were never my thing; I always belonged to the "anti-pink" and tougher version of teenagers. At 10, I was wrestling and playing soccer, at 15 I became a punk (not pink!), and by 18 I was actually already too grown-up for my age, slipping from carrot pants directly into a classic suit.
The phase of sugarbabes and candygirls passed me by without a trace, and I don't miss having blinked through rose-colored glasses with a mini skirt, lollipop, and big eyes... (Anyway, there would have been no one to blow powdered sugar up my backside, what a joke!)
The same goes for candy scents, as sweet and sticky has never been my thing!

However, when Jaipur in the form of a perfume extrait moved in with me yesterday, I was to be proven wrong:

In my memory, synonyms like "royal," "elegant," and "fruity-oriental" initially connect. I expect a solid classic for the theater and elegantly stylish adult events.

Upon spraying, I am surprised by an impressive fruitiness that has nothing to do with fresh fruit but rather reminds me of candied or jellied fruits. Not factory-made but something noble from the delicatessen spreads on my arm, inviting me to take a bite.
On the way to the heart of the fragrance, a balanced floral bouquet joins in, still accompanied by the fruity candy note. A brilliant composition! Elegant bloom pairs here with delightful sweetness. The perfumer works hand in hand with the patisserie, and the result:
A completely elegant candy scent for women!
Nothing screams or squeaks here. A perfectly balanced harmony of fruit (with pineapple dominating), powdered sugar, and a dollop of cream unites with the scent of a high-class classic.
I never would have thought that sweetness could smell so grown-up and noble on the skin....
what a delight!
~
Conclusion:

Jaipur is the first sweet-fruity scent that I do not associate with the color pink and that smells truly grown-up!
The noble lightly spicy candy note remains present until the bitter (creamy) end and gives this extraordinary perfume a high recognition value!
With Jaipur, candies have gained a whole new meaning for me, and I say "YES" to my new image as a CANDY-LADY!
~
(During the test, I thought I recognized a distinctive similarity to Sublime by Patou, which surprised me greatly, as Sublime does not smell fruity or sweet at all. In the counter-test with the same, I actually found strong parallels. In the heart and base notes, the pyramid is almost identical, if it weren't for this cheeky, irresistibly delicious fruit candy making the fine difference...)
Jaipur could almost be the sweet twin sister of Sublime!

"Schääpuuurrr"

Yes, this fragrance from my collection tells me a story again. The story of my colleague Sabine. Sabine had a French last name (Where from? Who knows?). She was sooo… funny. She could imitate all sorts of people and speak every German dialect… we had so much fun together… Sabine was always extremely dressed up, beautifully made up, with blonde bangs, always scented… we were in our early 20s.
One day I asked her what she smelled like… and she tilted her head down and said extremely “French” in a deep voice with a serious look: “Schääpuuurrr” … I just burst out laughing and didn’t press further. It’s an Indian name, but that didn’t matter at all.
While working in the office - with the scent constantly in my nose - I suddenly saw Sabine with the fragrance in a whole new light. The cheerful fruity notes like pineapple and plum at the beginning fit perfectly, and the flowers with dominant lily of the valley, orchids, and roses/peonies add a bit of sparkle and temperament… but then it also becomes a bit more sentimental, sensitive, refined, and warm-hearted - now the true values are appreciated:
Vanilla, vanilla flower, the vanilla-smoky styrax and amber calm and open their arms for the balsamic benzoin and a bit of powdery musk, cedar, and sandalwood add some depth.
Yes, Jaipur beautifully mirrored Sabine in all her facets and her warm heart.

Suddenly Queen

That's how you feel shortly after spraying Jaipur. Not "Suddenly Princess," but suddenly Queen! But not one of the long-nosed, freckled ones from the House of Windsor or Tudor or Habsburg, more like the royal consort of an oil sheikh named Suleika.
Jaipur is nothing for princesses or only for the very brave, due to its opulent richness. In the opening, all the fruits you can buy at an oriental bazaar come together. However, not sweet, sticky, or kitschy. Pure opulent fruitiness with the finest ingredients.
A floral orgy in the heart note, very distinct, very present, but not roaring or overwhelming. Jaipur has that silky smoothness or smooth silkiness that I could also sniff out in Boucheron.
The base is grand opera, unbeatable in its musky creaminess and endless powderiness.
In this fragrance, East and West unite. It is almost like a tale from 1001 Nights with a magnificent longevity.

This scent is not for sissies!

After this fragrance has only been described once and rated four times, I thought it was time to introduce you to this wonderful scent!

I first encountered it in a duty-free shop somewhere in the world, far away from home. I had enough time before my next flight to sniff a few fragrances, saving the heavy orientals for last. And since I like to spend time browsing in libraries and perfumeries, it was already quite late when I took Jaipur into my hands. So, I applied Jaipur directly to the back of my hand. Wuuuummmmms! A cloud of fruits greeted me with plums, apricots, and peaches. Once that subsided, flowers appeared, with roses and jasmine being the ones I detected, accompanied by a lovely warm vanilla note. The best part of Jaipur, however, is in the drydown, where the warm wood carries these floral accords. It becomes warm, sensual, and powdery.

Jaipur also has a decent longevity, as I landed at home after a 10-hour flight still accompanied by the scent. My fellow passengers probably felt like they were in an Indian palace, where the Maharaja is just being supplied with flowers, fruits, and spices from the market.

Unfortunately, Jaipur, as an opulent oriental fragrance, is not suitable for everyday wear, but remains reserved for the (at least in my life) few moments that allow for a grand appearance. It should also be worn by a woman who enjoys standing out a bit and drawing attention to herself!

After reading in the forum that it is off the market (and is likely to be reformulated and released again next year - Oh dear! - I immediately stocked up with a bottle. Because, although I can't wear it that often, I don't want to miss those few occasions without it!
