Surprisingly different and challenging
"Jicky"...Who are you, I thought to myself when I was able to join a Guerlain masterclass last year.
The fragrance from the year 1889, which is produced since then continuously, splits the minds and is in my opinion already rather what for the very hard-boiled Guerlain fans. So "Jicky" was traded as the first "modern perfume" in the world, which combines complex aromas and beguiled women and men alike.
In the master class training of guerlain I have learned, among other things, that at that time for the first time in the world of perfumes a synthetic molecule - namely the so-called "vanillin" was used.
The smell was accepted by gentlemen immediately, women showed up at first rather astonished, before also these could inspire themselves for the smell.that lasted however a while.
I think I belong to the circle of ladies from the year 1889,because also to me Jicky appears as a difficult candidate...he pleases but nevertheless well,because he is just so refreshingly different.
JICKY, so promising the name, so is also a story underlying the fragrance and that is that aimé guerlain, so it is said at least, was inspired by a hopeless love from the study time. The fragrance owes its name to the very lady who remained in Aimé's memory. Coincidentally, jicky was also the name of his nephew Jaques, affectionately so named.
Jicky is a contrasting fragrance,which I find rather unpleasant in the first half hour.From the citrus top notes bergamot, mandarin, lemon and rosemary I actually smell nothing,at least not at the beginning....denn the fragrance builds up with me in reverse order.he starts with the base and ends with me the top note....very strange for me and at the same time fascinating.The heart note is very spicy,unfolds through the strong base but not very at me.Opulent are leather,balsamic notes,incense and civet.
After three quarters of an hour, the citrusy, warm, vanilla accord fights its way to the front and the fragrance becomes rounder and more harmonious.
The fragrance is truly rich in contrast.by the different components unfolds the fragrance on each differently, at least I could determine that, because I have sprayed him on different people.
It is fascinating how seemingly so different and contradictory notes can unite into one fragrance. The mysterious love of aimé guerlain, must have been a versatile woman,because the fragrance is truly diverse: sensual,animalic,lovely,fresh and a little mysterious and magical.
sillage and projection are good.the durability I would describe as überdurchschnittlch.
So chapeau for over 100 years of perfume history. A test is therefore worthwhile in any case.
Thanks for reading

That will change.
Some tests I save me but also deliberately. However, the comment makes you want to and is beautifully written.
Your review also...
Your comment is excellent too though.
