I'm flying
It is completely superfluous to add another comment to this page, because almost everything has been said and if not here, then on the Eau de Parfums or Extraits page. Jicky is one of the oldest fragrances, perhaps the first modern fragrance with synthetic ingredients, sometimes declared as a women's fragrance and sometimes as a men's fragrance, dazzling like hardly any other fragrance, perhaps fallen out of time or timeless. I don't know.
For lavender lovers, and it is only for them that I am writing this comment, however, that the fragrance is a special revelation. While lavender in the coumarin context is usually much more herbaceous and greener, in its pure form as a genuine lavender fresh floral-herbaceous and in contrast with sweet raw materials (vanilla / vanillin in Caron Pour Un Homme) has a tension arch, only in Jicky this contrast of lavender, wafer-thin Fougère accents and animal notes (Zibet) can be found. Really only Jicky (apart from the close relationship with Mouchoir de Monsieur) smells like this. In addition, there is a nostalgically dusty powderiness, while the lavender is complemented by citric notes in the overtones. It is actually idle to describe all this, because almost everyone knows the scent. However, one should not really suspect that this results in such an idiosyncratic overall sound when reading the ingredients.
Besides, you probably won't like Jicky at the first test. I even hewed: You can't like it at all. There is, for example, the strict, the tense, the backward-looking nostalgic, which must lead to irritation.
However, if you take the fragrance perspective and acknowledge that the concept goes back to the late 19th century (1889), it becomes clear that lavender, coumarin and vanillin lead back to the future. I confess that sometimes when I wear the scent I think I'm flying
