Where vanilla meets character
Jany is not for everyone. I came across him by chance when he was included as a little bonus with another purchase - a stroke of luck considering his previous owner had given him away lightly. While it may seem too intense for some, it's a perfect match for me. My boyfriend finds no fragrance more endearing on me than this one. My mother also remembered Jany from my entire collection and asked to try it again on her second visit. I prepared her a small bottle, noting how much she had liked the scent the first time. Nevertheless, she found that it unfurled even more beautifully on my skin than on hers, which leads me to believe that it doesn't work the same on everyone and certainly won't appeal to all.
When I wear Jany, it makes me want to hug myself, to nibble on my shoulder, so seductive and delicious is the aroma that wafts from my skin. The first whiff of Jany envelops me with the unmistakable sweetness of a Christmas stollen - an aroma that evokes memories of festive times and at the same time leaves a deep, soothing trail on my skin. The scent distracts my thoughts, smelling so irresistible that it invites you to take a bite. No other fragrance since has managed to repeatedly capture my attention. A real olfactory dessert. When I stand in front of my collection, it is always the first impulse, even the desire, to reach for it, but I also want to give my other bottles a chance to shine.
Jany is not limited to the Christmas season, much like Baccarat Rouge; it's a fragrance for all seasons, except for hot summer days, whose sweet, opulent notes of puff pastry, baked apples, cinnamon and caramel are noticeable in any setting. The notes are also all really well blended that I have a hard time distinguishing them individually. I'm not so good at distinguishing individual notes and highlighting which one comes in when. I'm sure the apricot also plays its part, but it's a blend.
It would be easy to think that Jany is just another vanilla heavy-hitter, but that would be a gross underestimation. This fragrance has rough edges, it's like the best friend that walks in the door with your foot but that you don't want to miss. I think this is the first fragrance I'll even stash, because I don't want to be without it if it's discontinued.
Here's the full warning again: Jany is not for everyone. It's that "too much" about him that divides opinion. But that's exactly what makes him special. Jany can very well become a loyal companion, if you want him to be, who resists volatility. And yes, he may have come into my life by chance, but sometimes it's the unexpected encounters that make the biggest impression.
