Stiletto joined the Charles Jourdan portfolio in 1996. A feminine fragrance belonging to the floral family. The fragrance concentration is eau de parfum.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. Expect high longevity: it stays close to the skin for hours. Country of origin — France, and that already says something about the quality. Stiletto Charles Jourdan unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Stiletto is shaped as a living composition, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The style of Charles Jourdan is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
Without strict stage separation the notes arrive together with a voluminous floral mood: Floral Notes. In this format 1 note sounds as one integrated frame, creating an elegant floral wave that reads as cohesive from the start.
The heart and base are perceived as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Floral without random overlap. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In longevity terms High suggests confident staying power.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Floral and Whiteflower. At family level the scent maps to Floral.
In summary Stiletto sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
