The year 1889 gave us Jicky Eau de Toilette Guerlain. A feminine fragrance from the fern and floral families. A fragrance from the Jicky collection, in eau de toilette.
Brand country — France, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Jicky Eau de Toilette is built as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of Guerlain is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The internal accord map is built around these accords: Animalistic, Balsamic, Aromatic and Citrus without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Gourmet, Floral, Wood and Powdery add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
At the opening of the pyramid you catch radiant lemon-bergamot first notes: Bergamot, Lemon and Mandarin.
When the opening settles you meet Iris, Jasmine, Lavender, Patchouli, Rose and Rosewood carrying a velvety sandalwood direction.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Floral, Whiteflower and Green. The palette also extends to Wood, Ambery, Balsamic and Animals.
Overall Jicky Eau de Toilette sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.
