   |  A definite no go for me...At first I smell a lot of lavender which is ok but not exactly a scent I want to smell on me, later it starts to get very cloying and way too flowery. It's for sure a scent that you either love or hate or maybe it depends on the skin as well. 23 January 2009 |
 | Jicky and me do not get along. I wanted to love this one for the history, the mystique, all the things perfume represent. And at first, I get that: A lovely, woody vanilla scent, all mysterious creamy incense and magic. Then the bug spray note comes in and kills it all dead. I can still sense the lovely bed of woody vanilla underneath, but over the top, forever and ever, is that sharp, offensive bug spray note. 12 October 2008 |
   | Oh dear -- did not like the lavender rendition -- the middle notes bypassed me and wasn't keen on the base note combination. Apart from that...... 12 September 2008 |
 | It is harsh to nose. It goes from that old bitter mandarin oil to amber incense directly; not playfull with many notes in. thinking the year it launched i can guess how impressing it should have been. But today i should not have worn it. But i did. I mean i put some one me. Now i have two regrets. I would not drink bolls red orange anymore. They remind me each other. 02 July 2008 |

| On me Jicky was a very strong almost feral bergamot/lemon, powder/musty musk scent. It seems like a scent to wear with bright road sign yellow. It reminds me of spraying lemon Pledge in a wet, musty attic. My DH said it was too predictible. I will try it again in the warmer weather to see if this makes a difference with my chemistry. Actually I am disappointed; I was expecting a better Guerlain offering. I just don't believe I will use this that much. It smells somewhat synthetic in drydown, like a fake lemon. 13 February 2006 |
