Dearest Jicky--the civet cat that rolled in a lavender garden. Truthfully, the notes mean little. Jicky's chemistry and mine simply work together, unlike 99.2% of the 500 (not exaggerating)...

I've smelled this fragrance about 2 or 3 different times, and every time, all I smell is the lavender note hit me in the nose. I do not like lavender, so I guess I can't get passed it. I've read...

Jicky EDT is all that has been described below. If you are patient, the civet (indolic) note goes away and leaves behind a much cooler (and cleaner) spicy lavender scent that is calming, classy,...

Jicky just does not work on me; I've tried it several times now and each time all I can smell is a very cold, bracing lavender with an almost medicinal/mothbally tinge to it, supported by an...

Jicky has never worked for me. Composition of cool lavander and, as a cotrast, warm spicy notes, stays forever totally unbalanced on my skin... Composition (with my body chemistry) is like hardly...

I was looking for a lavender fragrance for aromatherapy purposes. Lavender scientifically has calming benefits and I'm always a stress ball! I walked to the Saks fragrance counter and asked about...

I bought the EDT Refillable gold canister spray. How I love this fragrance. I might be among the lucky few who are compatible with the scent: it soaks into my skin, producing the most amazing...

I got this a GWP and I do like the light floral lavender smell to it. I would use this for my aromatherapy and not actually wear it as perfume. I wouldn't buy it as I could make my own lavender for...

This review is for the EDP - in my top 5 fragrances of all time! Jicky starts a teensy bit harsh with an herbal blast of lavinder, which is where it probably gets the label "sporty" from -...

Civet, mothballs, sickly vanilla and a poor lavender note squeaking in the background- thus ends my fascination with Jicky. Perhaps it is my chemistry, maybe I don't care for the civet note, could...

Another unsniffed surprise. There was such disparity on the boards on this one - that I had to give iti a try. I tend to like the controvercial scents - and this seemed to...

Jicky reminds me of the Robiola Vite cheese I tasted in a wine & cheese tasting course last night. Not in its actual smell--just in the way that I so desperately wanted to enjoy it, and kept going...

Jicky is gorgeous. I used the EdT for this review .... At first it has a tartness or a bitterness to it, a sourness layered with a prominent lavender note. Not its best moment though strangely...

Serious, major civet here. I love lavender, love vanilla, am trying to figure out how to live with the civet. This fragrance smells like my cat just crapped in a lavender patch. I'm repulsed and...

This smells like like Shalimar with a bracing lavender-lemon top. I actually like the way it smells right in the beginning and wish it lasted a bit longer than 10 minutes. Drydown is vanillic,...

I love Jicky for many different reasons. For starters, it's been around since 1889 yet still smells like a new, iconoclastic release. It's definitely not a water baby, which is basically what is...

This is one of the 3 perfumes I use regularly (Omnia and Diorissimo are the other two). Jicky seems to succeed better for crossing between cold and hot weather. The lavendar and bergamot notes make...

Oh, how I wanted this fragrance to work on me. However, what I got was a stale, powdery aroma, reminicent of moth balls. Therefore, I don't think that dear Jicky and I were meant to be.

Can I just tell you that I love this fragrance? The beginning (this is the edt that seems not to be a favorite with others, so I can't wait to try the parfum) is a crisp herb; very green, soft and...
