I'll make this simple:

edt = citrus, lavender, oopoponax/tonka with vanilla.
I enjoy it very much. My husband hates it.
Fleeting in longevity.

It's hard to be neutral about this classic I suppose, but here I am. I'm just one of those people for whom Jicky does not work. I find it overwhelming, confused, and disturbingly chemical. It comes as no surprise to me that with Jicky Guerlain pioneered synthetic ingredients in high-end scent. I acknowledge Jicky's high status, but I rarely enjoy wearing it.

unfortunately and despite of all the positive reviews it does not work for me.i find it too warm, too sensual,too smooth and too powdery.maybe it´s because i am addicted to the chypre scents and the aldehydes.jicky is shalimar and shalimar is pure vanilla.i miss the edges.jicky is too nice.

I used this in the 70s and know it disappeared from the US for a time. When I found it at again, I was reminded of younger years and better days and loved it now as I loved it then. One of the all-time greats.

It is so suprising to me to see that many of you don't love Jicky. Years ago I followed someone down the street in Manhattan to ask what she was wearing, and have been wearing it myself ever since. It really is my all time fav scent, and it is my understanding that Shalimar was created by adding vanilla to Jicky (which is one of the first unisex scents) at the time when vanilla was first imported to Europe. To this day it makes my mouth water to catch it on someone.
