Jessica McClintock (1987)
by Jessica McClintock

My mother loves this perfume, but everytime I smell it it gives me a headache, I think it has a too strong flowery scent. It is quite nauseating

This was my very first fragrance. I cannot seem to find it's match. I smelled it on my friend in h.s. and not knowing what else to ask for Christmas as a teenager- I asked for Jessica McClintock. It just works very well w/ my chemistry. I received compliments from men and women whose eyes would light up as they asked me what it was! People would be surprised when I would tell that that it was JM because it did not smell the same to them on themselves or others. I have tried other white florals and at age 27, I am ready for something a little more unique and mature that works this well with my chemistry. Now, as I type this, I think I want another bottle of an old favorite.

Sweet floral which smells a bit fresh that seems to not have aged very well. Its advertising is for young people butI cannot see 20-minus year olds wearing this. But if they like it, go for it. Too muhc lily and some faux-gardenia. On the plus side, it seems soft enough to get someone for a gift.

I loved this perfume as a teen. Personally, I couldn't wear it. My skin chemistry was all wrong for this scent, and one squirt would have me smelling like Lysol for the rest of the day. My friend Cristi, however, smelled divine in this, and I admit that I use to needle her about putting this one every day just so I could smell it on her.

Another poster, takemyhusbandplz, is right: there's a ton of a lily of the valley and honeysuckle in this perfume. Which, to me, makes this more suitable for a younger generation. Even if I could wear it now, I wouldn't. But this is a scent I wouldn't mind buying for a teenage daughter, if I had one. Very feminine and a bit "old fashioned" just like the image Jessica McClintock portrays in her designs.

This perfume absolutely stinks real bad. I tried one squirt of this and it made me feel sick for the rest of the day, i had to wash numerous times and still couldn't get rid of the smell. Very strong and pungent and took me back to the 70's and smelled like a cheap perfume from that era. Yuck!!!

I tried this one on in the store one time and I just had to buy it because it was the epitome of a fresh springy floral. So beautiful! It totally drew me in. The problem was that after I began wearing it regularly, it made me sneeze and sniffle - and I'm not a very allergic person. I can wear many other scents heavily and no problem. If it wasn't for that, it would've been perfect.
