Je Reviens Couture, from Worth was released in 2004. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Coriander, Lemon, and Orange, middle notes of Jasmine, Narcissus, Orange Blossom, Rose, Violet, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Musk, Tonka Bean, and Vetiver.
I never got to smell the original Je Reviens, but the current Couture version is absolutely beautiful nonetheless - it contains everything you’d want from an old school floral, whilst making it easily wearable today. There’s a contrast of flowers here; on the one hand you’ve got the beautifully delicate harmony of jasmine and orange blossom, with their bright, soapy facets amplified by a generous dose of aldehydes. To contrast this, a trio of jonquil, narcissus and ylang combine to create the most addictive buttery smooth base you can imagine, allowing the brighter white florals to glide through the air with unspeakable grace. I love this scent, I only discovered it in recent months but already it’s a firm favourite and it makes me even more keen to smell the original. If you love vintage-style florals then you simply cannot go wrong with this, especially for the price.
