Bolt of Lightning Jar Parfums for women

Remorsefully I live far from New York however one of my first stops in the city is the JAR boutique at Bergdorf Goodman.I know that if only I had invested in gold what I have in JAR...perfumes that is. Joel Arthur Rosenthal is a genious jeweler and a brilliant nose. Is it possible that one man can be both? Love or hate his scents like "Bolt of Lightning" and "Golconda" and the prices they command, each is an olfactory symphony under a bell jar.Each waiting to be hesitantly released ,yet never explained, by a scrumptuously groomed and impeccably mannered SA. After somehow proving to be worthy, I am inoculated on one wrist. The evolution begins: The experience so delicious like the craving for chocolate (or something more decadent?), that with each return to the city I am drawn nearly first stop back to JAR for another taste. The latest indulgence was the reintroduced and mystifyingly dark "Shadow". The evolution began...and I succumbed.

more like $765 an ounce!!!!

I actually have Diamond Water. Very spicy/floral. The gentleman smiled when I said it smelled like carnations which I love. Bought it for my wedding. I didn't get married, but now I have a very expensive perfume that most people don't understand.

I cant call this a review more like an experience...

this is the hautest, most exclusive perfume collection I have come across, developed by the famous jeweler, Joel Rosenthal.

The fragrances are sold only in Paris and at Bergdorf in NYC,in a cave like space.... along with $100,000 + jewelery.

The company will not give away the notes or the ingredients in each perfume. however, they do present each to you , not on a blotter but on brown velvet fabric, kept under glass.

Bob, the sales associate at Bergdorf is very nice, and with a little charm he revealed some of the ingredients. There are seven JAR perfumes in the line.

femme tes yeux- animalic notes...smelled like almost like feces on me

diamond waters- beautiful at first, loved it, smelled like white flowers, pepper and tuberose- but once on my skin for an hour the drydown smelled of pickles.Both Bob and i were truly dissapointed.

Jardenia-gardenia-the stems, the bud, the flower; my personal favorite, so hauntingly beautiful I almost forgot the price of 400 per ounce.

Golconda-carnation, spices a very sultry and heavy oriental,think Opium by YSL on steroids, not bad, but not for me.

Bolt of Lightening- immediately it smelled of clean, wet tee shirts,but the ingredients were mostly green notes, wet, mossy, which is the kiss of death on my skin. perfectly awful on me. The green notes drydown smelled like gherkin pickles.

jarling- A very sweet gourmand at first sniff, like macaroons, but on my skin it smelled like tutrpentine and furniture polish.

Shadow- vetiver,sharp rooty, but on me foul.

now you may have a different experience with the fragrances. each skin is a fingerprint and the stages of the scents are complex from top to drydown.

Be prepared to spend upwards of $400.00 an ounce.
