Charles Jourdan Votre is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1978, created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac. Votre opens with Hyacinth, Cassia, Spicy Notes, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Marigold, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Charles Jourdan's Votre carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly classic green floral that divides opinion: some find it a masterful, sunny blend, others a challenging ferment. Either way, it's a confident, elegant statement from a bygone era.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Office Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and classic, elegant profile make it suitable for office wear if applied lightly, and it certainly fits formal occasions. While not overtly casual, its fresh greenness lends itself to daytime wear, making it versatile for smart casual outings. It's too refined and not fresh enough for sport.

About

Votre opens with a sharp, green burst of galbanum and aldehydes, brightened by hyacinth and a hint of mandarin. This vibrant introduction quickly evolves into a rich floral heart where rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang intertwine with a touch of juicy plum and the distinctive marigold. The dry-down settles into a warm, woody base of sandalwood and cedar, softened by amber and musk, with a surprising whisper of raspberry adding a subtle sweetness.
