The sophisticated new fragrance from Boss Parfums, Jour Pour Femme, uses the first light of day to reflect three important female facets – light, inspiration, and elegant composure - in a beautiful blend of white florals with vibrant citrus.
ღ The Fragrance
Jour Pour Femme is best compared to an onion. Every layer peeled off reveals yet another beneath it. The initial spritz is fresh and light; by the time dusk rolls around, the earthy base notes are unveiled in their full glory.
At a glance:-
◆ Top notes: Grapefruit Flower, Lime
◆ Heart notes: Freesia, Lily of the Valley, Honeysuckle
◆ Base notes: White Birch, Amber
It is subtle, mild and unobtrusive. It is the type of scent that won't offend when you are stuck in an enclosed space with others.
ღ The Flacon
The flacon has very clean lines and is effortlessly chic. However, I thought that it could have been better constructed. The crystal cap makes a squeaking sound when it is being prised open, and this is not a sound that I want to associate with my perfume.
My second criticism would be the plain body. It is not adorned (words/logo/could be anything) which can make it look half-finished.

Hmm, what a weird choice with the packaging! I hate when my higher-end items have squeaky lids, such a turn-off for me during use. I'll definitely look for a tester of this in a store to play with :)
ReplyDeleteSad that the packaging is poorly executed, would expect more from Hugo Boss.
ReplyDeletemmm Honeysuckle...seems like a scent I would love to try :)
ReplyDeleteI must say, I really love the white dress in the advertising. Random I know, but its just lovely lol!
ReplyDeletesad that such a high end brand would have poor packing
ReplyDeletePackaging is such a huge factor for me, that is so sad!
ReplyDeleteThat's surprising that it's so poorly packaged for such a high-end product! I guess I would rather have a product that is flawed in package design rather than in quality, though. That ad featuring Gwyneth Paltrow is stunning!
ReplyDeletepackaging is important to me...too bad it went poorly.
