About This Perfume
Jovoy Paris Sombres Dessins smells like smoky amber incense, spiced rose, soft powdery rum. It opens with pink pepper and Italian bergamot, moves into osmanthus, patchouli and rose and settles on frankincense, labdanum and rum. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for date nights and nights out. Released in 2015.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.

- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and cozy for date nights.

Jovoy Paris is the in-house line of the historic Rue de Castiglione niche perfumery in Paris, a curator-and-house double life that gives the line rare narrative depth. The 17 live pieces on Scendira average .90, are strongly unisex (11 of 17), and skew Fresh (5) with Woody (4). Prices span $167-$220 (average $195), solid Paris-niche band with tight pricing. Standout live pieces: Remember Me ($187.18,.17, creamy vanilla tea with bright citrus zest), Incident Diplomatique ($187.18,.11, smoky vetiver with green mandarin and nutmeg warmth), La Liturgie des Heures ($220,.07, smoky resin incense on damp forest floors), Oriental ($210,.03, peach-rose tea with warm peppered amber) and Pavillon Rouge ($187.18,.01, smoky leather club with sweet vanilla-tinged whisky). Best read as the Rue de Castiglione house's own signature curation.
