light-footed and charming
While testing "Très Jourdan," I am overwhelmed by memories. This pretty miniature contains years of my life that I spent - in retrospect - light-footed and full of curiosity about everything that came my way.
Ah, it’s been a long time!
How many pairs of shoes from this brand accompanied me through that time is beyond counting. Rarely did I return from KaDeWe without a new red box filled with something exciting.
If my own curiosity didn’t drive me into that little boutique-like niche in front of one of the large shop windows, it was a call from the charming saleswoman, who once again had a suitable offer for me.
She was one of those who kept records of her customers' preferences in a little notebook, allowing her to respond accordingly.
Of course, I had to check out what she had announced over the phone, and more often than not, I returned home with a new pair of pumps or sandals: she just knew what I liked.
It is therefore surprising that I only got to know this charming fragrance now through a miniature collection that a particularly dear perfumer sent me.
The joy she brought me through this was surely not even known to her.
So I slip in my thoughts into my beloved white sandals with the fine leather straps, the small platform, and the high slender heel; both covered with fabric that featured the pattern from the flacon: it looked chic!
And just a few drops of this sunny liquid transport me back to the lightness and abundance of the nineties, especially its fragrance creations.
How far away is now the "flower woman" I once was, and how lively she looks at me with a cheerful wink over my shoulder while I write, as if to ask: Do you remember?
"Très Jourdan" is, despite its abundance of fragrance notes, filled with the lightness of summer.
A dance through a flower garden, holding a filled fruit basket, and I am already lightly surrounded by rich fruity-floral scent veils.
For very quickly, citrus and raspberry fruit notes, ripe and plump, blend with the floral beauties of the classic summer garden.
This almost naturally includes the sometimes almost overwhelming "white stinkers" (quote: Meggi!) lily of the valley and jasmine along with the no less shy tuberose.
Caution: White flower alert!!
The little violets with their friendly faces join them, and the noble roses complete this floral scent magic.
All of this unites gracefully and harmoniously before warm, slightly animalistic musk vanilla with a light cedar wood accent appears as the highlight, inviting one to linger.
"Très Jourdan" is a typical fragrance creation of its time, generously and charmingly spreading its magic.
Yes, this fragrance composition shines, even though surprisingly the typical addition of aldehydes from that time is missing.
The sillage and longevity of the Eau de Toilette are summery light, yet rich, expressive, and of French elegance.
That’s all it takes to be a charming companion.
It’s a pity that I am only getting to know this fragrance being now. But another summer will come, and with it our time!
Out of time? Not at all!
Recently in the perfumery of Galeries Lafayette, we already stood out!
