Jacinthe et Rose E. Coudray 1983

Every now and then, you pull a scent from the sample grab bag that just doesn’t say anything to you. You neither know the fragrance nor the brand and then do what everyone probably does. You look it up here on Parfumo and hope that no one made any mistakes when entering it into the database, um, not that I’ve ever found a mistake :D

Then you see the ratings and notice that the fragrance hasn’t been received very well and you wonder whether you should even write a comment about it. After all, I (well, I try!) always try to come up with something to keep the ungrateful crowd (that’s you!) entertained.

And if you do come up with something that you think “hm, yes, this is somewhat publishable,” in the end, no one reads it. And you feel disappointed and think about withdrawing from writing comments forever *sniff*

In short: Read it, you ungrateful lot, you!!! :D

**The Fragrance:**
You smell sweet and watery hyacinths (Yes, I Googled what hyacinths look like… I just can’t remember plants, … I must really be dumb or something!). The sweetness of the fragrance should come from the jasmine, as it smells like those beautifully sweet flowers.
In the heart note, the rose increasingly comes to the forefront and, along with the orange blossoms, is the strongest note here. The roses gain strength and eventually become the main players.
Towards the end, the fragrance becomes a bit sweeter, which should come from the musk. And as usual in the base, you also smell woods. And that’s it for the development of the scent.

**The Sillage and Longevity:**
The projection is mediocre, so the fragrance can be smelled at a short to medium distance. However, a larger scent cloud will not linger.
The longevity is quite okay, the fragrance lasts seven to eight hours.

**The Bottle:**
The bottle has a cylindrical and vase-like shape and does not have clear transparent glass (it looks like frosted glass). The upper area, just before the cap, is clear, and plant patterns have been incorporated into the glass. This is quite nice, but in small photos or from a distance, it looks a bit like an open brain, especially with the pink fragrance liquid!
Anyway, the cap is transparent, widens in height, and then transitions into a dome. A nice bottle that looks a bit older with its rather old-fashioned design.

Alright, this fragrance has been commented on as well.
*Check off sample list*
Well, what can I say? For me, Jacinthe et Rose has somehow just become a too 0815 fragrance. Now, this doesn’t have to mean anything bad; there are many 0815 fragrances that smell good. This one smells good too, but it has no strengths, making it easily replaceable by many others, possibly much cheaper (rose) fragrances.

It is a floral-sweet summer fragrance for everyday use, but could also be used for going out. In my opinion, it’s not necessarily a fragrance that you must test, but some might find it quite nice.

So, has everyone read this now? Of course not again, so I’m (once again surely) talking to myself… *sigh*
