Fairy garden
I discovered a vintage bottle of Jontue Perfume Spray. I do not ever remember smelling this on anyone. This is love at first sniff. I am simply stunned by the quality Revlon poured into its 1970s beauties. This ranks right up there with Chanel and Guerlain.
This is a warm weather classic that is based on white florals that I generally avoid (tuberose!). Here it is blended with mimosa, chamomile and gardenia so well that it behaves perfectly with a soft rose and I get a little neroli. A nice dry sandalwood arrives early on, foggy oakmoss and vetiver waltz happily here. The juicy peach is done so well you can almost taste it. Throw in a splash of orange and this becomes a vacation in a bottle.
It has the same DNA as Charlie (it gets such a bad rap after the bad reformulation, but hey what doesn't anymore?). Revlon had its own Guerlainade apparently.
Its ironic that so many writers mention its High School Girl appeal. This is a very mature and wealthy offering from a house that knew what it was doing. The price was affordable and it was marketed to all with the best ingredients. Jontue was from another time, indeed.
