8e Jour by Yves Rocher, 1993

Oh, how I loved this scent. I purchased many bottles through Yves Rocher mail order. 8e Jour as I remember it was a sort of "quiet" spicy fragrance, not like Cinnabar or Opium. They were "loud" spicy fragrances and they had their place. I liked the subdued spice of 8e Jour. I do miss it.

I have this now in tiny miniature, and the scent moves something deep in my bones. I have no idea about sillage and projection, but will test it out more this week. The Honey came to me right up front, with a bit of floral, but not to my nose overtly iris or jasmine. I actually got spice, and then saw the cinnamon listed. That explains it. I need to wear this when I am not sifting through my collection spraying every other finger with something else that I had forgotten I owned. Warm. Comforting like hot tea with honey and cinnamon without being overtly gourmand.
