Number 3 (2001)
by Jessica McClintock

Years back, I used to like this one alot. Since becoming familiar with superior floral frags, I cannot stomach this smell anymore. If I want a crisp, bright floral with tenacity I will definitely choose Lauder's original Pleasures over this!

My husband loves the scent of lilacs and hyacinths, so I bought the fragrance rumored to have good lilac qualities (JM's Number 3), but did not find what I was looking for. In all fairness, lilac cannot be extracted from the real flower and has to be synthesized. The first Jessica McClintock fragrance was a true lily-of-the-valley composition, and Number 3 seems to have inherited most of its genetic material from that product. Number 3 is a refreshing scent for hot weather, and the flacon's atomizer is the best of any I've ever pumped. Staying power is only moderate. I don't regret owning this, but I will not be buying it again.
