Jess Jessica McClintock for women

Wow! I really LOVE this one! I don't understand the previous comments regarding sweetness and heaviness because I don't find it sweet or heavy. It is miles less sweet and heavy than the majority of the floral fragrances I've encountered in my search for a new signature scent. I wish there were a sweetness scale that we scored fragrances on. If the sweetest I ever smelled is a 10, then this one is a 2. Bear in mind that I generally only endeavor to smell floral fragrance types.

This fragrance is a completely inoffensive type that stays close to the skin and has little projection. It only lasts on my skin for two hours, but lasts longer on clothing. The opening is a powdery hyacinth which is not at all loud or screechy, and it's mellowed by the other notes. The most interesting part of this fragrance is the fact that the wood note complements the flowers so perfectly. It is a completely amazing wood scent that smells just like my husband's shop when he is building furniture. I just love the smell of freshly cut fine woods! Recently, he made a chest with walnut wood and I'm sure that's the note that I smell in this fragrance!

Hyacinth has a reputation for being an overbearing flower when it comes to scent but this hyacinth is an exception because the emphasis is on hyacinth's earthy side rather than on it's sweetness. I grow hyacinths in my garden every year and this fragrance has enough realistic hyacinth fragrance to be recognizable but not enough to be like the real flower. Now, a real, live hyacinth blossom in front of one's nose...the delft blue to purple hued type...my goodness, that kind of flower scent would be overbearing.

I'm so sad that this is a discontinued fragrance! It's still available on eBay, though.

Very sweet on me (a bit too much), less lily-of-the-valley than the original. Pleasant.

This has been my favorite since it came out, very clean, feels like you just took a long hot bath!

Love this scent. One of my faves. Just got a friend a bottle for xmas as she loved what I was wearing. Just beautiful to wear.

I had this years ago. I rec'd it as a gift and only wore it b/c it had my name on the bottle. Other than that this scent was not my type, too bad.. It's floral and went on heavy.. The bottle lasted forever. If you like florals you might want to try this out.. NOthing exciting to me..
