    This is a very light and fresh fragrance which would be perfect for the hot summer months. The floral note is lovely however it is not at all long lasting. If this fragrance had at least a 4 hour...

    Acqua di Biella's Janca is a light fruity floral scent with dominant notes of peach and linden. Stylistically, it is very similar the floral perfumes offered by Annick Goutal such as Petite Cherie,...

    Oh YES. This is a gorgeous lush floral, which is not what you'd expect from an iris frag, but I think the addition of peach kicks up the headiness factor. It doesn't smell like peach per se, but...

    Um. Hmmm. Well, I like it! And it smells terribly sophisticated and expensive! And, yeah. . .I have nothing to say. I'm usually fairly adequate at the scent-describing game, but Janca has me...

    Named after a town near the Biella river of Italy (according to Luckyscent), Jance is difficult to describe. It’s almost a skin scent, almost spicy, almost a floral--like a very sweet soft rose...

    This scent was fairly unpleasant on me - a sharp, synthetic-smelling green floral with some peach at the beginning. I kept hoping that it would become less synthetic over time, but this did not...

    When I first sniffed this without reading the description, it didn't even strike me as a floral. On my chemistry, the cardamom, musk, cedar and patchouli notes stand out most, making Janca...

    After reading Thisbe and Genny’s raves for this, I ordered a sample – and fell in love. Janca is just so crystalline and beautiful in a soft, gentle, and refreshing way. The floral notes just...

    Stunning, incredibly-well blended soft floral that's unlike any other floral I've tried. I usually love musks and woody scents, don't bother with florals, but I tried this at Takashimaya in NYC and...

    Chilly, watery, fruity floral. Actually felt as if it cooled my nose when I sniffed it. You won't get much pleasure out of it yourself, because it disappears so fast. But the people around you...

    I want to like Janca. Seriously. I have a full bottle. I love the bottle. Nice, simple lines, satisfyingly heavy in the hand. I love the opening notes of iris and linden. Remind me of being...

    Initially seduced by the powerful sillage wafting up at me from the sample vial, I could not wait until I tried this one on! And it was everything I thought it would be: seductive yet floral, sexy...

    Sooo generic. What a disappointment. Sharp & synthetic. Reminds me of many readily-available department store perfumes. The new Michael Kors, Calvin Kleins, maybe Elizabeth Arden, or something?...

    Completely agree with Dreamstorm's review below - too watered down, too synthetic, with no distinct personality. Not worth the money.

    Gorgeous, stunning, and a very worthwhile experience, I agree with Thisbe's review of this intoxicating scent. The pleasure of this scent is that it does smell incredibly common and run of the...

    My initial impression of Janca was rather disturbing: the harsh, perfumey accords of Tommy Girl or perhaps Clinique Happy touched with cumin. Half an hour to forty minutes into the dry down...

    How can I outdo Thisbe's review of this lovely fragrance? Just to say that I agree that the drydown -- which takes ages to get to, and thus, the staying power is remarkable on this fragrance -- is...

    Thisbe's review is so beautiful but I found this to be just another dull watery floral on me. Overpriced, too. :-(
