I have a silly name - or do I?
The award for the probably silliest perfume name of 2018 (even though the year isn't even halfway through) certainly goes to "J'Suis Snob" for many. Three years ago, "Je Suis Charlie (Hebdo)" might have been original, but this name here is brimming with arrogance.
When you Google the title, you come across a chanson from the 40s by the French singer, jazz trumpeter, and actor Boris Vian, who describes his exhausting life as a snob in a self-ironic way. I think this also reflects the perfume by Jacques Zolty (who himself likes to stroll around the Caribbean island of St. Barth in a white suit and Panama hat), which doesn’t take itself too seriously.
From the very first moment, J'Suis Snob maintains a rather high level. In addition to blackcurrant, it is primarily this dark rose and the sparklingly tart champagne that make the scent invigorating and simultaneously noble. Personally, I don't find the blackcurrant as dominant as some here claim. White musk, as interesting as it may sound, and amber seem to hold a lower rank in the snob world, as they appear in the pyramid but hardly come through olfactorily at all.
All in all, we are dealing with a light-footed, uncomplicated Eau de Parfum that practically cries out for high temperatures to refresh both the wearer and bystanders in a captivating and stylish way.
