Went into Neiman's today to try the new JM Blue Agave & Cacao (meh) and found this. I already had 4 frags on so didn't put it on, but the bottle is the cutest thing I've ever seen! A heavy round ball, the perfect size for your palm, covered in silver with random polka dot cut-outs revealing purple crystal. Or maybe the glass is clear and the juice is purple. At any rate, for the first time I could envision buying perfume just for the flacon. I'm going back to spray it on next week.
Other impressions:
Blue Agave & Cacao - Lots of chocolate in the top note which doesn't appeal to me. The drydown is nice and it did seem to have more staying power than the usual JM scents. I can still smell it on my skin 8 hours later.
Pomegranate Noir - Second try for this one, and I put the cream on this time. I wish the crisp top note of pomegranate stuck around longer. Nice woods in the dry down, slightly sharper than the drydown for...
Mandragore (Annick Goutal) - Wow! Yum!!! Where has this been all my life? Citrus, ginger and wonderful woods in the drydown. Actually this might layer nicely with the Pom Noir. Initial sillage was great and I did receive a compliment on it. Unfortunately it was gone 4 hours later.
If only the Mandragore came in the silver polka dot ball.
