Jubilee Bouquet Penhaligon`s for women

Update: I even love it more every day:)I must say I have to give reviewer Juliette a point: "respectability in a bottle, a scent created for Victorians" sounds to me even more what I was longing for in this floral chypre! Yes our olfactory impressions are different, and that 's good ! For me the perfume even has an erotic feeling, bur more of a cold, brilliant , untouchable Victorian beauty and in the drydown for me the notes sandalwood, ylang and musk give the creation a clirring sensation, yes now it is warming up and gives the erotic clue of that insurmountable beauty:)
I will buy that one again and again..

A new release of a classic scent launched for the first time in 1977. It's a greenish, herbal concoction with hardly any flowers and a wry dryness...so it's not a floral chypre in my books. This fragrance does not talk to me at all. I can't say that it is unpleasant, but it bears no element of surprise, no fascinating chord. It comes across like a well-established, decent toilet water for people who want to obey the code of conduct. Absolutely devoid of any erotic hues, this seems to be respectability in a bottle. It's prim and proper - and could easily pass as a scent created for Victorians...when it was dedicated to Elizabeth II.
After gabyvinki's enthousiastic review (see above) I was extremely keen on trying this, but once again I have come to see how different our olfactory perceptions can be. SORRY about not being able to share the enthusiasm!!!
3 out of 10 points on my personal scale

I ve finally found it: MY floral chypre!:) To me it is everything I have ever dreamed of a chypre to be: classy, highly natural smelling, mossy, chique, royal, embracing, floral powdery without being sweet...just a lovely fresh and high class bouquet of my most beloved flowers!And that combining with tho oakmoss and the balmy sandalwood.. Great stuff, evokes impetuous childhood memories. Just a feel happy perfume I longed for and it's sure for every day use.. give it a try if you love floral chypres without being old nanny-stuff.
