Not my cup of (citrus) tea

This was my first ever perfume (can you already tell I'm new at this perfume thing?) and it is now a reminder that I need to test several times before purchasing an FB.

It opens with a citrus-laced bouquet of white flowers, which is similar to how it smells in the bottle. At this stage, the freesia is the most prominent note. It lends a rather feminine, professional feel to it.

As it starts drying in the next couple of minutes, the projection seems to quickly diminish. You get a lot more of the lime as it claws its way to the frontlines. Very quickly it takes over, and this becomes a citrus fume on a light floral background. Imagine lime rinds on white petals.

It's not unpleasant by any means. It's overall a rather safe, citrus fragrance which seems professional and clean. But there's nothing impressive about it either - it's boring and uninspired. There's so little development.

Longevity is weak on me, about 3 hours max. Then again, most fumes don't last on me.

Sillage is so-so. After an hour you don't smell it wafting any longer.

Slimness Level

Upon entering, I immediately notice the new advertisement for Boss Jour pour Femme, Gwyneth Paltrow, radiant in a white T-shirt and with a wasp waist. However, she doesn't seem very happy, her smile a bit tight-lipped; one might almost think someone has stolen her Lätta from her bread.

With no expectations but blessed with natural curiosity, I take 2 sprays from the slender white bottle, which is available in black for Boss Nuit. In white, it looks somewhat cheap, but that might be a matter of taste.
What unfolds is something very restrained, a very very very delicate floral scent, so light that it is indeed impossible for me to discern any details. After about 5 minutes, this whisper of a scent collapses in on itself. Is it gone now?
But no, there’s still something, there’s still something... something very very delicate, subtle, and this time powdery, a bit synthetic too, a kind of powder that I don’t particularly like to have on me. And it’s just so light and subtle and considerate, it couldn’t harm a fly...
Lasted about 1 hour, and I have no idea what one would need something like this for. This EdP seems just as slim as Gwyneth on her poster, a single olfactory wasp waist, really.

Salad without Dressing

The advertisement photo:
Here, the visual advertisement and the product actually match.

Gwyneth Paltrow is for me the perfect embodiment of conformity, mediocrity, harmlessness, and interchangeability. This woman always does what the US film industry expects of her. Always elegantly dressed. So thin that neither man nor woman needs to fear a (physical) confrontation with her. Tears and spotlight smiles always ready at the push of a button at the right moment. I would love to shout at her: Girl, at least pour some dressing on your salad!

Applied to life: nice to look at, conforming, harmless, mediocre, and guaranteed interchangeable. That’s what the bottle signals, and that’s how this scent develops on my skin: a nice, harmony-seeking, subdued, weak floral scent with a synthetic, citrusy, powdery note. I can perceive this harmlessness on me for a good 5 hours.

The advertising text from BOSS:
>>"This will be your day." A fragrance like the first daylight, full of wonderful possibilities - this feeling is conveyed by BOSS JOUR Pour Femme as a unique source of inspiration for women. Wherever you are, the first daylight gives you a dynamic and captivating sense of anticipation. At this time, the BOSS woman treats herself to a brief moment of calm - to prepare for what lies ahead and to enthusiastically take on all tasks.>>
is not true.

There is nothing dynamic or captivating about it.
With this fragrance, my day is definitely not going to be great. When I wear this, I could easily lead the next meeting naked. It wouldn’t even be noticed because no one would realize that I am even present.
I also don’t want to have to enthusiastically take on all the tasks that lie ahead of me.

Hey, I’m a woman, I’m the BOSS here, and I want my salad with dressing.

PS:
Now, there are professions where conveying an impression of discretion and constant servitude is required…
Here, I see a potential use for this perfume. But then there’s the problem with the high price. Hmm, maybe just use a good deodorant instead?!

In Doubt for the Accused

After the previous scathing comment, I feel compelled to confess my sympathy for Jour pour Femme, even if its tarnished reputation may not be restored.

On my skin, it develops a beautiful bright floral note after a brief citrus opening, behind which I suspect jasmine, violet, and heliotrope among others. Freesia and honeysuckle are used so subtly that I cannot identify them individually. The fragrance notes harmonize very well together and create for me the impression of a "warm" white, not as cool and fresh as one would know from Anais Anais or Black for Her.
In this respect, the theme of "day" is appropriately implemented for me here.

Although the sillage is rather close to the body and subdued, the scent lasts about 5 hours on me, which I at least do not find bad.

The bottle is unembellished and simple, similar to that of Nuit pour Femme. Its slender shape and opaque surface give it a fragile and elegant appearance.

Of course, Boss did not reinvent the wheel here, and one can debate whether the world needs another harmless floral fragrance, but I have had much worse - and more expensive - perfumes under my nose.
And why are we so critical when it comes to a well-known "local" brand? In the outlets, residents from far-off nations are storming the doors of the Boss shops and leaving with bags bursting at the seams, while we have nothing but contempt, preferring instead to increase the GDP of other countries?

Be that as it may - for me, Jour pour Femme is a nice floral scent that doesn't hurt anyone, and I would even buy it if I came across it at a good price somewhere.

If the scent were any more boring, it would smell backwards.

So, and because Flui got really worked up about the Nuit by Boss, I have to take a quick jab here. It can hardly get worse, Flui thought, and stomped into the nearest perfume store to test the Jour. And lo and behold: It can always get worse, which is why Flui was already thinking up a nice little comment on the way home. Once home, Flui sat down at the laptop and began to write.

In short, the scent simply screams of pure nothingness. Wilted little flowers with body lotion? Yes, I think that fits. The grapefruit is definitely a sour start that ruins the heart note. Packed freshness, fresh floral power is what the pyramid promises, but it doesn’t hold a note. If only it were just boring, but the heart note comes across to me as really, I don’t even know how to put it differently, so sour and wilted, it smells rancid.

A piercing note with a spontaneous urge to sniff and run away :-(

Dove shower gels are somewhat comparable, and the scent intensity isn’t much better.
I would love to report more, but the whole affair doesn’t allow for it.
The bottle is a bit prettier than the one from “Nuit,” I think, the design for the day at least comes off as somewhat fresh, while the one for the night doesn’t scream exciting big-city nightlife.

My nose definitely recommends something else.
