J'Aime La Perla for women

Just love this perfume!! Sweet peppery patchouli evening caramel... It lasts at least for 24 hours... even after a shower... and tomorrow morning.

this is my recent discovery and it's so beautiful. playful. cute and sexy at the same time. this reminds me a bit of the little cookies me and my man ate in italy last summer. and then it turns into this cheeky scent that can be quite sexy, when the patchouli comes out and softens the sweetness and at this stadium, j'aime lingers for quite a long time around you, with that beautiful sillage, that is not big but seductive: it's that sillage, that people around you notice without noticing it's perfume, but "something" beautiful around you. and this makes me feel really sexy not because i am wearing a "sexy" perfume, but because i know what's my secret, that makes me feel that way: it's j'aime.

i love wearing this. especially, when it's so cold outside like today. still so much snow and ici wind.
but then i take a deep breath in my scarf and there it is:
soft, sweet, beautiful, playful. warm.
and it makes me feel so good.

does anyone have this to swap??

OKAY! Wow! So excited I saw a little package at my doorstep when I came home from work!

I couldn't help but open the box right away, like I was 5yrs and it was xmas morn! lol.... So I put the lotion & the fragrance on one hand to see what this smelt like since it was a blind buy...

It is so pretty! I Love it! Reminds me of my Flowerbomb tho.. but a little more floral... a little more girly... like the spring/summer version of FB.

I am so happy!! Its a 100ml too! Got a great deal online so I can be'generous' with it and not feel guilty! Deffinatly gonna ba a staple in my wardrobe! (especially that its waaaaaay cheaper than FB too!)

I've recently rediscovered this beauty in my collection, and it pains me to say that it has not been given the attention it deserves because it is honestly one of the most beautiful scents I've ever smelt in my entire life. Its also very reasonably priced considering its amazing silage and crazy lasting power. It does smell a bit similar to Miss Dior Cherie, but if I had to pick one I'd def go with this one because it has more personality. Raspberry is actually my favorite note and Miss Dior Cherie doesn't have that... which is why I prefer this. I also like floral dry down I get from this rather than the 'smokey' one I get from Miss Dior Cherie. I would definitely recommend this to people who want to try a really nice beautifully composed chypre scent.

This one is really good. I love finding perfumes like this; not by such a famous designer and doesnt cost a fortune! It smells like miss dior cherie (the original 2005 version) which is wonderful because those are so hard to find now ever since they released the new watered down and plain jane version, booo! It also has a sharp "fresh" aroma of the earlier 2000's nina nina ricci, and gucci 2, not entirely but it is quite noticeable which makes this even more exciting to smell.
J'Aime is a great one to have. It is good for every day, every season, fruity floral gourmand and fresh all in one. It is a perfume that can let you smell all those aromas in one spray, without being too cloying or confusing. It makes you feel all light and fluffy and delicious, what a woman should always feel like! It is not a dark perfume, nor too "pink" as the bottle might suggest, it is just in between the two. This is def not your BS fantasy gourmand and it is def better then Miss Dior Cherie 2005, just because the price is better, the smell is there, and the longevity is equal if not better!
For a Chypre Fruity* Gourmand
10/10

J'aime by La Perla is a perfume that I happened to find accidentally, when I was looking for information on a different (and unconnected) scent that is also called "J'aime".

I decided to order a bottle as I liked the sound of it and I have to say that I'm very pleased I found this beautiful warm chypre.

J'aime opens with a spicy citric note...the combination of pepper and fruits producing an almost metallic accord.

That fades quickly though and leaves behind it a rich but light scent of white flowers enveloped in a mist of sweet raspberry.

As the scent dries down the patchouli and caramel both become more prominent. The patchouli adds a spicy earthy tang to it, which is offset by the caramel's sweetness.

The patchouli note is quite present for me, but it's not unpleasant, and it's not a "dirty" patchouli, but more of an earthy, fruity one.

This fragrance is not really a gourmand in my opinion. There is a slightly gourmand edge to it with the fruit and the caramel, but at its heart is a chypre through and through.

I don't find it overly sweet either, but it has quite a sweet base, so it's not one for any one who dislikes some sweetness.

Medium sillage and excellent longevity give this perfume bonus points from me. And it has a very classy yet simple bottle.

Overall this is great quality, and not too expensive. Very much worth a try.

to me it smells a lot like Miss Dior Cherie(the new version)they are both sweet,chypre and full of red berries.
in fact I'm noticing that I like most of La Perla perfumes.I already have j'aime la nuit and today I got my bottle of diviina and got a chance to smell this one,which smells great as well.
backing to the perfume,it starts sweet and fresh and ends with dominant chypre,patchouli notes.caramel is always there,making it feminine and adorable.I can't say whether I like this one or j'aime la nuit more,but I can say this one is more sweet,chypre,while j'aime la nuit has some dominant woody notes.but they're both Italian style,that I admire in perfumes.
...and forgot to say long lasting power and sillage was very good on my skin.

sensual and sophisticated fragrance
in my opinion it smells more floral than fruity (white and pink flowers)
not overpowering at all, love it
suitable for over 30 too
will buy again

A pink cloud of raspberry! Very candy-like, almost too sweet, caramelly and yummy. There`s also something refreshing and "greener" there, maybe the bergamot?
Delicious and funny scent, not sexy to me. I like it but a bit too "Escada-like" for me.

After i read all this good reviews aboute this perfume,i have to have ! I buy without knowing what smell will be..and I LOVE IT !Its soo ,soo nice smell omg,i can smell this allday long.For me its smells wery similar to Miss Dior cherie.I really suggest try this perfume ,its is sweet ,but fresh at the same time ! Wow !Love it !

OK, I got a sample of this scent and considering the name "J'Aime", I somehow automatically thought that La Perla was a French company... and I am wary of sweet looking French fragrances as I (more often than not) find them incompatible with my skin. Thus I was bewildered how much I enjoy this. Now I see that La Perla is an Italian company, I am thinking that explains a lot,as I seem to have a thing for Italian fragrances! :-)
This is sweet and it is fresh somehow as well, I agree. A bit fruity, flowery, foody and fresh. I don't find it seductive or sensual (as they describe above), I agree with "taylor" here, to me J'Aime is romantic, flirtatious and downright cute.

I was "jumping around" this a lot and nearly bought it. It's a quite nice yummy floral scent that seems romantic. I liked how it smelled on paper. On my skin it turned into a candy cloud. I re-tested it and had to give it up because I did not like how it developed on my skin.

Warning: do not spray this with a heavy hand! There are so many EDPs out there that I expect to last forever and an hour later they're gone. This is quite the opposite. Spray it a couple of times and expect to smell strongly of it twelve hours later. This is not what I would consider a gourmand. Yes it has fruity notes, for me most notably the raspberry, but where is the caramel? I didn't find it in the dry down (I tried). It reminds me more of a grown up Escada limited edition and less of upscale Italian undies. Nevertheless, I smelled it in Harrod's on a trip to London and decided it was a yes. For the record, I don't like chypres and I don't like patchouli, and I do like this. A little Flowerbomb-esque - sharper - and longer lasting. This is definitely for spring and summer.

I love this a lot. I like fruity, sexy scents, and this is kind of what I wanted from Black XS. It lasts pretty well and I also like the bottle- I really love simple bottles without tacky text or too much stuff.

i was eyeing up this perfume for soo long..i tried it on paper and smelled divine..fruity, powdery, zesty with just a hint of flowers..
when i tried it on my hand though it just turned into a sweet floral fruity ( more fruity than floral thanks to litchi and raspberry)..and i am not really a big fan of fruity smells..
it doesn't really develop. it just smells the way it smells out of the bottle..and surprisingly it is one of those perfumes that smell better on paper..
slightly disappointed, especially considering the price..you could find cheaper similar perfumes..the silage is extremely good though..up to 8 h

I always thought it reminds me of Euphoria (which I don´t have), but today my sister wore Euphoria and I thought she was wearing my J´aime. I sprayed her perfume on my wrist and to me they are almost the same! On my skin, because on hers, Euphoria turns into a woody, stuffy smell in the drydown that I don´t like, but on me, reminds J´aime a lot!

I absolutly LOVE this fragrance, i am always getting compliments when i wear this & i love the bottle, reminds me of a priceless jewel held in a black organza sachet!
It also funny enough reminds me a bit of a mix of Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger & Coco Mademoiselle!

very sweet floral fruity, smells a lot like estee lauder's Pleasures DELIGHT! Though j'aime is a líttle more serious, but just slightly. Sugary raspberry, hard not to like... It's just not entirely 'me' :)

This was an amazing surprise for me. Beeing a huge fan of the homonimous La Perla, I tought this one would be a modern and crappy remake of the other one. Oh how was I wrong...
J'aime is the perfect step from teenage perfumes for more mature ones. Is sweet without beeing teeny, its light but make head turns, its inoccent but incredibly sexy.
On my skin the notes that take the lead are litchi, jasmine and bergamot (the tp notes make me think this perfume is the older sexy sister of Britney Spears Fantasy, crazy right?!), the drydown is gourgeaus, amber, musk and caramel instedd of the usual vanilla is a really perfect idea. Perfect for everyday, every occasion, all year. Easy to wear, easy to like. I wouldnt call it unique, but its definatly a well done perfume that smells perfect. 5*

I work at a perfume store and I recently brought jaime for myself because my manager told me off for emptying out the whole tester bottle of jaime LOL. This is the only fragrance I wear at work because it's so distinctive and sexy. This is my signature scent!

Haaa... I got it !!
I found the way to solve the dizzy ending with this gem :p I know it quite crazy...but not bad to try,,,
I mixed this one with the EL BEYOND PARADISE in my collection...OMG It really works on me. I rarely wear BP becase it's too cold,too officially and more mature ... both are solve and correct each other to be a kind of my own innovation, new signature scent and Gosh ! I love it ..not too innocent girly sweety and not too seriously mature..:)

I'd said I like it, but it's on the edge of I don't. The patchouli is very strong, is at the limit of bearable. It's very feminine, but it almost gave me a toothache. I wouldn't buy it.

After a month, I can still smell it, and it's delicious raspberry with caramel. mmmmmmmmm delicious.

When I first got this perfume as a gift and caught the first whiff of it I was totally bowled over. Its perfect for women who would want a sophisticated perfume yet retain that girly charm. Its super sweet, reminds me a lil bit of 212 Sexy by Carolina Herrera...though this one is a lot better in the sense that it doesnt change into a woody/oriental smell.

This one quite like floral-fruity a first the fresh litchi and raspberry notes very detectable and edible very yummy then turn to something very harsh,dry and sour to me, I think it should be the affect from caramel note come so quick and combine with the sour raspberry note and amber..Emm I'm indecisive..I love it or not, because the caramel note too sticky and easy to get dizzy-it's too much for me.

when I bought La Perla-J'aime in a samll shop in Maccau, I thoungt of the small bottle I held in my hand. And when I smell it, its aroused my sense that the fragrace is soo really my taste. Now its so difficult to find the perfume here in Indonesia.

this is very good mmmmm

i love it is very sexy good mmm

I bought this fragance for my wife. It is relly sensitive and lovely.

I'm in love everytime i smell it!! it's such a feminine and rich fragrance. Reminds me a little bit "coco mademoiselle"... beautiful!!!

I absolutely LOVE J'Aime! And I have to admit I was very resistant towards trying this one, regarding the bad reviews I had read.

The opening is just fresh and delicious, quite above my expectations - litchi never disappoints me. Then it settles into a clean and sourish almost-fruity type of floral. That also made me resist. "Why?" I thought... Well, I found out that reminded me a lot of a specific moment in Baby Doll, right before the "acid metalic burnt sugar disaster". But it was good, quite good, actually, and I realised I was just resisting to it because of the association. Well, I got over the association! J'Aime's heart notes are beautifully blended into a feminine, very pleasant concotion.

And suddenly... Wait! What is this? Caramel kicks in! This smells GREAT! But reminds me something... hmmm... Black XS for her! Another perfume I kind of pick on...

But you know what? J'Aime is a lot better. And I also got over this association. Weird, huh? It resembles two fragrances I would never buy and I just love it!

The drydown is one of my favorites. You can almost taste the caramel, and that just lasts and lasts and stays forever on my skin. More than twelve hours. Couldn't be better!

J'Aime really made its way into my heart and now it's certainly one of the most desired in my wishlist.

Lovely,lovely!Pretty and sweet,definetly a young scent(not teen young but young).I used not to actually like it but i totally changed my mind.I tried my sisters bottle and after a while it smelled just better,the base is great.Especially when the caramel kicks in(i love caramel scent).La perla makes great fragrances..

i don´t think this is a teeny fragrance. it´s sweet but not candy-sweet.
in my opinion not that sexy, more romantic and flirtatious.
and the bottle is really cute^^

I REALLY LOVED IT .. AND COULDN'T WAIT MORE ONE DAY TO BUY IT .. I FINALLY BOUGHT IT ;D...!!

I see in this fragrance really something sexual, feminine, sensual...as girly sweet fragrance for young girls I found Britney Fantasy, but not this one la perla..

I bought this for my wife...but must firstly must admit to being a fan of gourmand frags and having selfish motives (namely pleasing my own nose). I love the burnt musky caramel aspect of the fragrance and its lightness on the skin. It makes a nice change from the impersonal and overbearing Aqua Di Gio, CK etc type scents that dominate in Australia (and which give me the compelling urge to run away from the wearer).

J'aime is alot more like a 12 year olds first bra rather than luxurious, upmarket lingerie.

When I was in the stores, a lot of sellers try to sell it to me and sayd that all the teenagers and girls love it and that its a very popular now, and it does smells nice but there was something that I didnt like.
But in general, it is a good perfume, fresh and stay long time on the skin.

La Perla fragrances possess a unique and clever way of capturing scents to appeal everyone, they dont smell like mainstream perfumes, they dont smell synthetic nor metallic and they are under rated.

i was shoping for a perfume and the seller spryed it on my hand saying you will like it and it happend i fell in love with it right away sweet and rich of early summer smell

I absolutely adore this perfume. By far the best I've sampled this year. Very sweet, distinctive and warm. Several men stopped to ask what it was. The scent lasts a long time and Escada aside, is my favourite. A dead cert if you prefer sweet, fruity, caramel scents

I could really smell the litchi at first. Reminded me of my favorite martini (lychee!) Will have to go back to the counter to remind me of the dry down on my skin. Really want a sample.

The fruits are not very noticiable in this perfume at all except for the rasberry. But otherwhise it's really caramely-muksy floral on me. Anyways I love this scent and I sooo want it! =D

verry sexy fragrance i adore it

I got mainly fruits at first. It's like grab a Escada perfume (the most fruity one) and turn it into chypre. I'd say at first it feels like a battle between floral fruity and chypre. And first takes over the second. This perfume had this vibe, but then settled down very nice sweet with caramel and musk, not losing it's fruit taste. I smelled it and thought it's like Escada perfume. It's a bit sexy, but not grown up somehow. I don't think it's sexy when I smell it. If there would be less fruits it would be a lot nicer to me. It's nice and perfect for spring or not very hot days of summer I think.

i first smelled J´aime when i asked for a nice winter perfume in a store. the shop keeper told me that if i like the fruity summer Escada fragrances, i will like J´aime too. And i really loved it from the first moment! its sweet, but in a very pleasant way, very cosy, feminine and warm for winter.
the only bad thing is, that on me it looses the interesting smell after a very short time and then it only smells sweet.By using it everyday i started smelling the dry spicy basics more and more which i don´t like, so i had to stop for a while and continue again.

Perfect for the festive season, I get opening notes of cranberries (rather than the listed raspberry) with a mellow background of amber and spice. Those who are normally put off by gourmand type notes should really give this one a chance , as normally I wouldn't countenance a fragrance with 'caramel' but this note is a true burnt sugar rather than sickly toffee. The jasmine is there, but waving very faintly in the background of the group shot; this is a good thing for me as usually any touch of jasmine gives me an immediate headache and the overwhelming need to lie down in a darkened room to recover.

Having said all this (and although it should be obvious that I like this perfume - I am wearing it today as I type!) there is just something missing from the mix. It needs to pack an extra punch and somehow misses the mark every time.

I so want to love J'aime, but I don't. It isn't too sweet, yet it needs to be still more tempered with extra spice, perhaps a dark glimmering of vetivert would have done the job? I'm biased, of course, as I adore vetivert and all things woodsy musk, but I feel this perfume is striving to be as glamourous as its more grown up sisters (I would liken this to Paco Rabane's Black XS and Ungaro's Apparition) - J'aime is like a beautiful gown that the designer forgot to put the buttons on. It just doesn't hang right...

Nevertheless, I shall persevere. This isn't a perfume I will stash at the back of a cupboard and forget about, but neither will it be something I reach for every day.

This fragrance is sweet, but I can’t find the freshness like the other reviewers. When dries down, I feel cloying sweetness, what makes me feel sick. It is too much! I have headache from this sweet and strong „cloud” and want immediately to take a shower to remove it. I apologize to the fans of this fragrance.

has anyone in the US tested this? where have you found it?

I tried la perla 'j'aime' again. Though I like it as a scent in itself, and it smells almost edible, and really nice, and should say strong, but now I think this one is too open, not as delicate as I would like. I had it sprayed on the paper strip in my bag, while was doing some shopping, and I can say, I suddenly felt embarassed when this perfume's cloud was 'traveling' together with me..didn't expect this. not my type of perfume, I guess.

At first it was abit too sweet for my taste, but I guess that was not La Perla day. The next day when I tried this perfume it smelled just fantastic, though sweet it was fresh and interesting. My husband liked it at once. I am not really an expert in this, but to me it goes into the same group with Miss Dior cherie, 2008 summmer smell, and Coco Mademoiselle, though the last one is much lighter as a scent.

It is so nice. It is so femenine, it is my favorite fragrance next to coco mademoiselle.

Sweet, but not in a teenage way.

Men are ready to rip me apart in pieces when I wear it. But it has to match ur personality!

I love it. It's extraordinary. A little bit confusing at first, but then the smell becomes more and more passionate and fascinating.

I fell in love with it some weeks ago...now I can't get enough!

How is this a chypre? It smells fruity to me

At first so fruity, but at the and it will be masculine.

Soooooooooooo nice, but is a bit sweet sometimes. Good for teens maybe

I think this perfume is one of the best smells, it is sweet, fruity and fresh. I think it suits teenagers.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this fragrance, to me it smells like strawberry sherbet!!!!! A dream come true!!!
