Charles Jourdan Charles Jourdan The is a Parfum launched in 2004, created by Caroline Sabas. Charles Jourdan The opens with Bamboo, Mango, and Basil, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Charles Jourdan's Charles Jourdan The carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, creamy mango-sandalwood scent, but the performance is divisive. If you find it at a reasonable price, snap it up, but don't pay silly grey-market prices for what some say is a body spray-level longevity.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

While some find it light enough for the office, its warm, sensual character and moderate projection make it far better suited for dates or evening events. It's a versatile choice for day or night in cooler weather, but might be too much for active sports.

About

Opening with a juicy burst of mango and the unique green snap of bamboo, this fragrance quickly settles into a rich, creamy heart. The initial fruitiness is beautifully balanced by a subtle spiciness, leading to a warm, woody dry down where smooth sandalwood and earthy patchouli entwine with amber, creating a deep, inviting aroma that lingers seductively.
