Jontue (1975)
by Revlon

Like a child with a little change pumping his or her first Slush Puppy (Try a pump or two of every flavor! That has to be awesome!), Revlon tries to fit every flower at hand into a single bottle. If you, the reader, have ever fallen victim to the one-of-each approach to frozen drink mixing you can probably imagine how well Jontue works.

I wore this in the 70s in my teens, but mainly because it was one of only a few perfumes available where I lived. I remember it as sweet and fresh and perhaps slightly syrupy, orangey-pink in colour. It was different, though. Perhaps it was a floral in a field of hippy orientals and grown up chypres. To me it will always be a little sister scent.

My mom wore this throughout the seventies and eighties, and somewhere into the mid-ninties, there seemed to be a change in the formula. Something tinny and metallic intruded into the floral mix. The current incarnation of Jontue is not the same as the sunny, comforting, fun fragrance that was "mom" all over. Thumbs up to the previous formula.

Very sweet floral with jonquil and orange flower-my mom loved this one! Thumbs up for the original formulation.
