A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The Earl Grey tea unfurls immediately, its bergamot sharpness cutting through mandarin sweetness whilst rice wine adds an unexpected, almost fermented complexity that prevents the opening from becoming merely citrus-bright. It's aromatic and slightly austere, unlike anything the celebrity fragrance sector typically offered in 2003.
Freesia and honeysuckle emerge after 45 minutes, tempering the tea's tannins into something warmer and more traditionally floral. Orange blossom layers in a creamy, almond-tinged sweetness that feels almost creamy against the skin, the composition rounding out considerably from its initial sharpness.
By the fourth hour, the sandalwood and orris root settle into a quiet, powdery-woody embrace, but the fragrance has already faded to barely perceptible whispers. What remains is a gentle skin scent—pleasant but negligible, leaving you questioning whether it's still there at all.
*Still Jennifer Lopez* is a fragrance caught between whispered intention and brash declaration—a scent that arrives with the promise of elegance but struggles to sustain it. Michel Girard crafts something genuinely intriguing in the opening: the bergamot-forward brightness of Earl Grey tea collides with mandarin and rice wine, creating an almost savoury citrus composition that feels unexpectedly sophisticated for a celebrity fragrance of 2003. There's a tea-tinged crispness here, as though you've just poured hot water over citrus peel, the tannins mingling with fruity brightness.
The heart emerges as a traditionally feminine floral gesture—freesia and honeysuckle forming a soft, honeyed cushion, whilst orange blossom adds a waxy, almost almond-like sweetness that bridges the gap between the tea-steeped opening and the comforting base. This is where the composition becomes most conventionally pretty, the florals softening the tea's initial austerity into something more approachable, more "fragrance-like."
