Comments on: JAR ~ Diamond Waters & Ferme Tes Yeux http://scentzilla.com/2006/06/12/jar-diamond-waters-ferme-tes-yeux/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

Hehe, Marina, I dunno - this one is powerfully funky ;) Tania, a whole bottle of Ferme Tes Yeux unleashed at once sounds... unbearable. Like, medieval torture unbearable. I didn't know that about the leaky caps. Wow. With all the detail in the perfumes, you'd think some attention to the flacons would be well-placed. Yeeps! Ina, hehe, so tell me how you really feel about Ferme Tes Yeux. Hee! It packs a wallop, that's for sure. Judith, blue cheese??? Wow. Now if you could find a nice salad fragrance to go with it, perhaps it'd be rendered into something more bearable :P "The sniffing experience at BG is definitely worth it, even if you have no intention of buying: it’s unbelievably pretentious, really comical, and [she admits guiltily] great fun!" Actually, it DOES sound like great fun, no need for guilt. From what I've heard from others, they felt the same way about it that you do. Especially the wrist massages, which sound archly funny to me. Victoria, of anyone, I think you'd love Diamond Waters the most - it's so right up your alley. Consequently, perhaps it IS best to not try it, since I think you would "do something crazy," heh. Flora, your description of Golconda sounds lemming-inducing.

I have heard good thing about Diamond waters. Well I think am sorry I missed my chance to sniff when I was there last September. I opted out for fear I might do something crazy. :O) Darn!

And (I'm almost ashamed to admit it here), I bought it. Not a bit sorry either! (I'll be careful to avoid leaking, though--it hasn't happened yet). It's just beautiful! Ferme tes Yeux is, um, interesting. My least favorites were Jardenia, which I swear smelled like blue cheese, and Jardenia, which for unexplained reasons scared me.

Ferme Tes Yeux is truly vile. My favorite JARs are Golconda and Diamond Waters but, as others have said numerous times, I wouldn’t pay that price. Ferme Tes Yeux is truly vile.

Plus, here's a turnoff: I know from a friend who acquired a few bottles that the caps have a tendency to leak. Said friend had a bottle of Ferme Tes Yeux empty in transit all over luggage because of leaky cap, and in that quantity, as you can imagine, the effect is once-in-a-lifetime horrible. (There's a little plastic circle at the top of the metal cap, which slides out of place and interferes with the tight fit by jamming up the screw threads.) Now, for a jeweler selling $800 perfume in etched lead crystal bottles to have leaky caps? Fuggedaboudit. Better to buy two Guerlain parfums instead. That said, Diamond Waters smelled lurvely on Annie when they put it on her at Bergdorf, and she will have herself a bottle one of these days. :-) Tried them all, wasn’t terribly impressed.

Clove carnation, endlessly deep and sensuous, and just perfect. It has probably been at least 15 years, maybe more, since I last smelled it, but it made a huge impression on me. I doubt I will ever see it again, but who knows? Maybe I will win the lottery... The only on I ever tried was Golconda - it is worth every red cent of $400 and I I were rich I would own it, period.

And indeed, they are found in in a BG shop. You must report back on them after your trip! I demand it! :P Oh yes, Patty.

I think I need to stop threre this summer and sniff these. I'm not buying them, but I just need to wet my beak a little. :) Isn’t there a JAR shop in Bergdorf Goodman in NYC?
