Jaipur (for women)

sjanira

One word, Wonderful! exotic and very feminine fragrance. At first I get green notes. Then it softens into a sweet, fruity powdery smell. I love it!

Intrigued by Luca Turin's description of Jaipur as being the olfactory equivalent of a French yellow-plum tart: fruity-jammy, lush, and rich, I tested this scent.

Alas, I cannot smell it. I have tried it in two formulations, and there must be some material in it (a musk, perhaps) that acts as a block to the entire scent. I can smell a faint fruit note, and then nothing. Oddly, I can tell that there Something on my arm, but I cannot smell it at all.

Sadly, I had the same experience with Guerlain's Nahema, described as a lush peachy rose scent. I smelled a faint fruity note, then nothing. This must be an anosmia particular to me, but how disappointed I was.

it's a nice, subtle perfume. a bit different, as well and very wearable. a bit powdery, a bit sweet, just how a feminine fragrance should be. beautiful, understated chic.

An invitation to legendary journey ...

An old Indian legend says that gems developed from the monster defended by gods.
Its bones became diamonds, teeth - pearls, blood - rubys, bile - emeralds. Sapphires developed from eyes, topazes - from skin, beryls - from nails, garnets - from lymph. Fat developed into crystals and corals.

Then a symbolic jewel - Nauratan - was made from those gems. In this jewel nine stones join with nine planets. There are always nine gems in it, but the jewel itself can change its shape.

One of the most magnificent nauratans is the bracelet, given to young people getting married. The Indians believe that it's a mystic amulet bringing luck.

The most beautiful magical jewels were made among the rose bushes, in Jaipur, by the masters of jewellery.

Louis Boucheron got there in 20' of XX century, when maharaja Patiali from Punjab principate asked him to bind his gems.

Nauratans amazed the French jeweler and inspired him for many years.


The bottle reminds an expensive bracelet - contemporary talisman of luck.

Disappointing. It smelled like every other floral fruity out there. Totally average.

I really like this perfume. I smell a lovely jasmine/foral that ends in a pretty musky scent-not too masculine or heavy. Just feminine and light and not too spicy or heavy.

Exquisitely exotic, totally feminine, soft and gentle, but totally uplifting! Love this, my favourite of Boucheron perfumes.
