Je Reviens Eau de Toilette

Je Reviens Eau de Toilette by Worth, composed by Maurice Blanchet in 1932, is a classic aldehydic floral from the era that defined the style. Everyone describes it as floral; smaller groups also notice spice, wood, a fresh edge, amber and citrus.

Aldehydes open it with a sparkling, slightly soapy brightness, alongside lemon and bergamot and the first white flowers: jasmine, orange blossom and ylang-ylang. The heart is where its character sits, with rose and lilac giving a soft, old-fashioned prettiness, narcissus adding a green, slightly earthy depth, orris root a cool powderiness and cloves a warm, spicy accent. The base is long and dry: violet and tonka bean for sweetness, sandalwood, vetiver and oakmoss for a mossy, woody finish, and musk, amber and a trace of incense for warmth.

Most wearers report moderate longevity and a moderate to close trail. It is voted mainly for spring and mostly for daytime. It suits someone who appreciates vintage-style florals with powder and moss rather than fruit and sugar.
