J'ai ose was my signature scent for years, unusually captivating perfume which should be back again and be among the first! Barely noticeable oriental note, just as much as I love, it's a timeless perfume.
Composition is so unique, so feminine. What I particularly like about this perfume - aldehydes are highlighted. Mostly all oriental frags are seductive, mysterious and sexy, while J'ai Ose was oriental with soapy overtones, so pure and gentle, and at the same time puzzling. It's rare in today's artworks because oriental perfumes are all so similar to each other. And this is Art, to add aldehydes in a rich complex oriental composition, that you have all in one perfume. Yes, it's J'ai Ose.
And fragrant trail is one of the most impressive that I remember.

I really thought I would like this one, based on the notes and the category and era in which it originated. I recently scored a vintage J'ai Ose by Guy Laroche mini. It doesn't smell like it has turned, but I admit, I am not 100% sure what it should smell like.

At any rate, I was a bit disappointed. On me, J'ai Ose has a very 1970's musky aroma. Kind of like a musky floral perfume on dirty denim jeans that are permeated with the person's natural body odor. Very dark and murky, and yes, very interesting, and not stinky (in spite of my description of dirty denim!) Alas, it is not quite what I was hoping for. I do think I'll give it a couple more tries before I write it off completely.

J’ai OSE was my first “grown up” perfume. Many years and many fragrances later I still have not found anything that could come close to that exquisite bouquet of notes, lush and sophisticated at the same time, the kind that elevates a perfume to the status of a signature scent.
J’ai OSE is translated as “I have dared” and, apparently, was inspired by Napoleon Bonaparte and his love story: a shorter, stout shape of the bottle; the stopper, that is reminiscent of the Emperor’s famous hat; and the name of the fragrance itself resonating with “Josephine”. I believe, the original J’ai OSE by Guy Laroche was discontinued in the late 80s and is now produced by J’ai OSE PARIS. I was a little leery about buying the new version but decided to give it a shot… and was not disappointed! J’ai OSE PARIS has remained the same magnificent fragrance I remember from many years ago - a timeless classic…

Smells like liquid gold to me.Very rich, opulent, the scent of an eccentric but elegant woman. I am always thinking Gala, Dali`s wife! Aldehydes are very short living here, and I feel something like bergamot - but it`s all about peach, rose, moss, musk and aromatic oils. This scent is like a velvet black glove, it is caressing and definitely turns heads.One of the best orientals ever made.And it`s absolutely delightful in perfume concentration.
