Junoon Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 2.5 Ounce

This has become my new favorite scent. It smells like a modern take on vintage fragrance. It’s classic, semi-sweet, feminine, powdery, comforting, and so deeply enjoyable that I can’t stop sniffing it. To get this out of the way first: you absolutely MUST like powdery fragrances to enjoy this perfume. It THE powder bomb; frequently listed on perfume lineups as the “powderiest scent in [reviewer’s] collection.” I own 7 boudoir powder/baby powder fragrances, and many other gourmand & floral powdery fragrances, and this is the most powder-heavy of them all. Also, this has a vintage feel to it, but it’s a modern fragrance. I’ve never been one for many vintage fragrances, as even when I appreciate the scents and the artistry, they typically smell outdated to me, soapy, or too gamey and I don’t want them on my body. This perfume captures the essence of a vintage fragrance, without smelling like one. It doesn’t smell jarring, funky, animalic or extremely aldehydic. In my opinion, it smells timeless. When I first sprayed this, I immediately got a blast of vanilla scented body dusting powder (the kind with a talc-y perfumed scent) that women used to frequently pat their shoulders and necks with and wear as perfume or under perfumes. Imagine that scent mixed with fresh, wet baby wipes. That is what this smells like at first. Initially, it’s quite strong; but wafts of vanilla begin peaking through after that first spray, and really begin to shine about 10 minutes in. After about 5-10 minutes, the baby wipe scent begins to settle and tone down, becoming more uplifting rather than harsh. A sweet iris and the heliotrope creep in and mingle with the vanilla, and slowly I can detect a very soft and subtle rose note. This isn’t a mature, or dry rose scent, it’s a a full bodied, plump rose that never becomes a main character. If you don’t like rose fragrances, there’s a strong possibility you won’t even smell the rose in this. Hours into the dry down I get a lovely sweet almond powder scent that settles into the skin. I love this stage of the dry down. It smells like almond, iris, powdery vanilla heaven— with a soft baby-wipe touch. Interestingly, this perfume is a bit cold on the nose— like you’re sniffing chilly air; but when it really warms to the skin it gets a bit of warmth to it, while still maintaining that “cool” airy facet. It’s said that this is meant to be a dupe for Villoresi Firenze’s Teint de Neige, which translates to “color of snow.” I haven’t smelled that fragrance yet, but I am happy to see that this fragrance also has a coldness to it. I wouldn’t call this a “clean girl” scent. It does smell like baby wipes, and some may smell baby powder, but it has a delicate sweetness from the iris that smells slightly candied, and a sweet quality from the vanilla, heliotrope, and tonka bean as well. It’s not a gourmand sweetness, rather a more natural, floral sweetness. The powder also doesn’t go in a a linear, “fresh” direction— this is vintage boudoir powder puffs and a bouquet of sweet & airy florals. When I think of an image based on Junoon, I imagine a half-dressed, fresh-faced Hollywood ingenue looking into a marquee light mirror as she puts on her makeup in private. She’s hopeful and bubbly, but doing something that isn’t meant for anyone else to see or enjoy. This perfume embodies that to me. It reminds me of old Hollywood opulence and beauty, it’s airy, happy, sophisticated, and sensual in a way that feels intimate and only for the wearer, rather than being sexy. On skin this perfume stays until I shower again the next day; and I can still smell this on clothing until I wash them. The longevity is outstanding, the sillage & projection are moderate (but could be beastly & I can tell it would genuinely be hard to breathe if you overspray), and I get a gorgeous all day sent bubble just from spraying my skin 3 times from this. Amazing quality for the price, I never want to not own a bottle of this.

Very beautiful feminine fragrance. Cannot go wrong if you're looking for a safe blind buy. Gives a nice bubble of fragrance that lasts about 5 hours. It's a nice delicate flowery, powdery scent. Smells best about 15 minutes after spraying. I recommend, and will purchase again.

I now understand why people rave about this perfume so much it literally smells like baby powder, but in a nice, more modern clean way. It doesn’t smell like a granny and a nursing home. It just smells so clean. I have had so many people obsessed with the smell and actually go and buy the perfume after smelling me. It lasts literally 12 hours for me. Towards the end of the day, it is still present, but not as strong as a nice faint smell. I will say though it does not last on skin, but on your clothes, it will, which is what I do. I spray on my clothes and my neck. It will last on my skin for a couple hours, but not as long as my clothes. I personally don’t smell any other notes except baby powder and that is all I want from it and I am thoroughly, happily in love.

Olor a bebe es muy suave

Clean, fresh, baby powder scent!

Please do not believe the reviews this stinks like terrible you can taste it when you spray it just one time its too powdery no hint of vanilla at all like I never throw away cologne this one went into the trash immediately

If you like shower to shower powder, you will like this perfume.

El perfume es potente y tiene muy buena estela, huele a talco de bebé. Me encantó

I wanted this perfume for over 2 years and finally splashed out. OMG, this perfume is absolutely gorgeous. The bottle is very heavy and lovely shape and what's inside is a fragrance that lasts. I sprayed it on the top of my wrist and 10 hours later it is still there, and 15 hours still there and ever 20 hours I could still smell faintly now though. That is what I call a magnificent perfume. A really good fragrance should last for at least 8-10 hours. This will be a repeat purchase for sure. Anyone wanting this fragrance will not be disappointed. Because of the acid mantle of a persons skin a fragrance may smell different from one to the next individual but I am sure even with a difference this perfume will stand out above and beyond what you expect.

This isn't a like for me- it's a love! Smells like the OG Nivea Creme in the blue tin from the 80's. Projection and longevity is crazy good.

I love it so much!

Me encanta este perfume volveré a comprarlo.

It has sillage and longevity
