Jean-Louis Scherrer (for women)

Calyx

I just got a bottle of this in a swap tonight, and I'm already falling in love! It reminds me a bit of Aromatics Elixir--but warmer, and not quite as loud. I've been sniffing my wrist ever since I put some on three hours ago, and I'm smelling a lot of moss and wood, but NO vanilla. If it weren't listed in the notes, I'd never have known there was vanilla in it.

CaraMia

I have the older version which is full of oakmoss and a bottle of the tree moss newer version.

Both bottles are green lush and lovely, but the vintage stuff is breathtakingly beautiful (heartbreakingly if you are a big oakmoss fan and rue the new trend toward less moss). It is a work of art, a rare jewel and a tribute to women, a lioness of a scent.

The new version is not nearly as predatory but is still a gorgeous green floral.

Enchant

I don't think my nose is as good as other people's, but I'll review it anyway lol. I did a review yesterday on Fleur de Rocaille saying it smelled a little like Downy Fabric Softener. My husband agreed, so I guess it wasn't just me.

Anyway, this one reminds me of Irish Spring soap scent. I didn't want to write this, but this is what I think of when I smell it. I love it though, and I'm happy I found it thanks to this site.

Ivoire

One of my absolute favourites (I wouldn't want to live in a world where this - and my other favourite fragrances - didn't exist). It's pure joy: the happy laughter of a dynamic, urban, very pretty young woman whose life is full of warmth and success. (Obviously, this is a highly personal impression - but then, perfume is all about personal impressions.;))

I think it's one of the greatest UNDERRATED fragrances of all times,

Well, ladies... so much the better for us who do know it and love it! ;)

Wow! There is so much to love in Jean-Louis Scherrer for Women! I wonder why this fragrance never became popular here in America?

I detect in this scent many individual notes I love from other classic perfumes: the soapy aldehydes of Chanel No. 5, the flowers of L'air du Temps, the "green" of Ma Griffe, the animal-moss drydown of Cabochard. Yet it all blends beautifully into an elegant composition that is totally distinct from those other fragrances I just listed.

The persistence on this one is amazing, too. I dabbed some on at 8:00 AM and it is more than 12 hours later, still going strong. (I have the Eau de Parfum.)

I have three generous-sized sample vials to use up, but this one is definitely full-bottle-worthy, especially since it is available here in the US at great prices!

Got a big thumbs-up from the Husband as well. That's not a requirement for me to like a perfume or not, but it's nice when I can find something we both enjoy. :-)

SedNonSatiata

An amazing, green, long-lasting, seductive, original, complex. harmonious scent. This is my all time favorite chypre. I prefer Jean-Louis Scherrer to better known chypre classics. I discovered it in the mid-80's because a very fashionable student from Romania wore it every day. I finally asked what it was, and she told me. It was a gift from her boyfriend in Paris At that time you couldn't find it anywhere in the States, so I had to wait months until I was in France to buy it. It may have been more popular in Europe, but in the States it was--and still is--a unique scent. Gorgeous. Green. Glamorous. Rather bold. And it goes on and on.

Juliette has a gun

A very French perfume, beautiful, radiant, green and a true classic. The first deep sniff you take of it will tell you what an outstanding perfume this is. The green chypre notes are used in a very controlled way, it is not sharp (like Chanel 19) and therfore very sensous. Fantastic! Give it a try!

Sherihan

I have it too, I love it because my mom was using this in the early 80s, and in my country it was a hit so every woman was using it. For me it is not for every time, but can be used day and night.Mum was using it for BED TIME

I own EDP and love it! It is amazingly long lasting. Those green notes make it suitable for any time of the year. I should add that this is the only fragrance I own which was complemented by a stranger.
