8e jour Yves Rocher for women

Maybe I got a bad bottle on ebay. It was supposed to be vintage....smelled awful. 8e Jour is a scrubber for me. Too strong, too spicy, too heavy, too bad.....no sweetness or sexiness to it, to my nose it was very musty. Not at all like Coco or Opium. Again, maybe a bad bottle....

Cinnamon appeals to me on a fresh sugared doughnut or a tea-cake but not in a perfume as it turns out.

In the eighties I loved KL by Lagerfeld and Coco by Chanel. This fragrance I think is very similar and I like it very much. I owned a full size bottle of it and used it all up. (that doesn't happen often I don't often finish bottles even though I love the fragrance) I still own some mini's with this perfume.

If anyone is interested, I have 3 slightly used 100 ml bottles of this for swap. No box, but the juice is in excellent condition.

Lots of other vintage YR scent too:
One new and unopened 100ml bottle of Nuit d'Orchidee, still sealed in cellophane, one slightly used 100ml bottle without a box and 2 slightly used 5ml minis, all in excellent condition, 100ml Pivoine, 2 100ml bottles of Orchidee still unopened and sealed in cellophane. Let me know if you are interested!

just want to concur that yes indeed this is very close to original indecence!!
cinammon, vanilla, honey and yes it does have a slight civet feel to it like opium

You are right Amarilia about the resemblance with Coco and Opium. The most similar to my nose is Organza Indecence! You should test it with that one in mind!
;-)

You are so right Amber!! I actually never realised the resemblance until I put on my bodycream Organza Indecence and I was transported to 8e jour right away!!

I am so happy to posess this one again, found a brandnew mint bottle online!!!
Action, you are so right, this has a certain resemblance to Organza Indecence, wich is a new favorite of mine. They are definately from the same family!
This beautiful, unique fragrance is unfortunately so rare...This would be a staple in my wardrobe!!! Have used it as a teenager...brings back so many happy memories...
The myrrhe, incence and cinnamon bring the mystery to life in this scent!
I can easily detect the iris, rose, ylang ylang, all the spicy notes...except the honey note is very far away for me now...
Feel very lucky if you have it!!!

OMG i know this 1 in 1995, it's a greattttttttt frag

This week I discovered some great similarities between this perfume and Organza Indecence. The cinnamon in both perfumes is so nicely combined with a very sweet note that they both become gourmand! So this is a category like a gourmand version of Opium and that would be something like Organza Indecence.

Passionflower, yes it happens that they fill mini's up with water. A real shame it is to do that just for a big sale

Actually Passionflower, that sometimes is the case, people filling mini's with water. This happens when a collector is collecting mainly the bottles.

The weirdest thing happened to me with this scent. It's like I can't smell anything! If I try hard, I can smel something sweet and very light, but it's allmost like someone filled my mini sample bottle with water... Very peculiar.

it is the best perfume in the world for me. So warm and vibrant

OMG how i can finde this one oooo its long time i used please help

I agree, this scent is unique, I'm not fan of YR but, must confess - this scent has great composition, it's verry noticeable,pleasant, and wearable.
The best of YR.

This vintage is in the family of Opium, but again not the same. Very high quality perfume.

I had totally forgotten this heady, spicy oriental of Yves Rocher. I got it as a Xmas present, when I was propably 13. I remember not liking it on my skin, but adored the shower gel and lotion. The smell was incredible, like freshly baked gingerbread, vanilla sticks,insence and warming spicy candle burning on a cold, snowy Christmas Eve. Very unique, strong and confident scent! I miss that smell now.
EDIT : Thank you Action for letting me have this amazing, erotic and unique scent in my collection again. I'm saving it for upcoming Christmases only :)
I also noticed now that 8e Jour reminds me a bit of Coco Chanel and Opium.
