hi, I am 54 years old, and I was trying to find J’ai ose for a long time, I enjoyed it around 1980, and I kept in my memory that it was glorious. I wonder if the fragance by Guy Laroche was the same as the new company named the perfume released recently. I f anybody knows where to get it in Miami, that will be great.
thks a lot

I do agree, this scent has changed big time. I would like to know why? I was loving the J`ai Ose in early 80-ties and than it disappeared on me. I looked for it throughout the Europe and finally a year ago I saw the Eau de Toilette in one shop in Canada. They had only two and it was on sale. Not withstanding that the difference between the parfume and eau de toilette existed back than too, one I bought was a pale copy comparing to my memory of my favorite scent. The richness, the layers, the secret of the scent was gone. I have just found out that still one can purchase it on the web. I might just try.

Hilda Rosa, thank you for the clarification! It just breaks my heart when classics get reformulated…

Robin, I’ve never smelled anything Yardley, I don’t think. What a shame.
The job’s going well! We’re very busy which is a good thing.

Tom, you’re right. Guy Laroche wasn’t so popular in the U.S. Oh, those smelling sessions! I so miss them.

Marina, this cracks me up. You know why? Because I somehow never smelled Poison when it first came out, despite the public infatuation. And you never smelled J’Ai Ose? Now we’re even. Ha!

Minsun, always glad to please. I’m such a novice in vintage but it’s always thrilling to discover and review the ones I like.

Elle, I saw the parfum at Imagination Perfumery for a decent price. I do wonder if it might be better.
