Last time I was in Vegas I dropped by the Guerlain Boutique looking for some Jicky EdP, but it turns out thats only available in Paris and London...they have the EdT but that only lasts like 15mins...I'm not paying $100 bucks for something that doesn't last as long as after shave...lol
Opps gotta run...story will con't..
I'm back....
Sooo, they don't sell Jicky EdP in the US but they had Habit Rouge EdT so I got that and I dig it....
Now 3 years later I picked up Jicky EdP at the Guerlain Boutique in London...Man, it's like something from a Bond movie or Get Smart. At the counter when you say Jicky they take to a private room...Then they have like a vault with the Jicky EdP in it. They have a process to open it that involves more than one person...like getting into a lockbox at a Swiss Bank...and then your Jicky makes the scene. This private room is very private and very fancy. Like some movie set imagined for royal events.
I don't know why the intrigue...but this perfume is very special, and although it's called the first real unisex perfume. I see nothing feminine about it. It's kinda barber shop up front with a powdery lavender vanilla...dreamlike, and it also smells like clean skin, in a musky good way. I love this stuff. Sometimes , I like to sprey my wrist and relax and just smell it. It's like listening to an album where you like to hear the whole album. The olfactory power makes you think of things and memories. And as the scent changes it tells a story. And Jicky has been in production since 1889 and Man does it have a story to tell. When I first used it I said, "This must be what Heaven smells like" in another post I'll get in to what this juice actually smells like.
Later I'll report on 2 other Great story tellers for me, Aqua Velva Ice Blue and Habit Rouge EdT.
