I did not like this scent at first. It smelled rather musky and strong. But after a while it grew on me and mixed beautifully with my scent. How ironic!

I liked this perfume. Pretty subtle but nice fresh smell that lingers throughout the day.

Smell was perfect...

The scent profile does not align with James’ branding. I found myself annoyed at how old-fashioned I smelled as I went about my day.

It's a positive spin that it fades quickly. The fragrance only screams gardenia.

The heavier notes in this - fit and amber - make it perfect for fall. Lasts about 4 hours before I notice it fade.

I was nervous based on the mixed reviews but I love it! Nice staying power...sweet yet warm, maybe a little Smokey...but I like fig and gardenia...no headaches!

I love this scent. I need a bottle now!!

This is a very light fragrance and that's its power. I really love it for those calm days when I just want to sit and sip some coffee or tea and just chill. I'm buying a bottle ASAP.

Light, feminine scent. I never thought I would enjoy this type of fragrance. I usually wear spicier scents and love patchouli. This is a very pretty floral scent. Does not give me a headache and is not an obnoxious scent. The only negative thing is that it doesn’t last long.

I actually think I like this one. It's a little bit on the masculine side, which I actually tend to like in my fragrances. It's a little bit musky and spicy. I would call it a warm fragrance. It's got some kind of bitterness in it that makes it almost grainy. It's interesting and something different. But my one complaint I think so far is that it kind of smells stale.

Fragrance did not go with my chemistry.

I like a little more spice, a little less powder dry down

It was so wonderful I wanted to buy it until I saw the price. So thankful for my Scentbird.

This one was a long shot for me, because I don't normally go in for flowery smells. But this one doesn't have that overly sweet chemical smell that I get from most other flower scents. It just smells like a flower shop. And opening a dryer right after it has stopped. (jasmine/wisteria/dryer sheets?) I then proceeded to drop the bottle, shattering it immedietly. Swearing ensued.

This smells lovely, but smells too much like honey suckles after the rain. I love smelling this in nature, but not so much on me all the time.

I was not a fan of this at all. I felt like I smell like an old lady.

I really like most scents from by Rosie Jane. I love that they are clean and botanically based. James is very fig forward to me, so if you like that, then you will like this one.

Scent was not what I expected. Smelled similar to a man cologne.

Love the smell my husband like how it smell on me

My nickname is James, so it fits. I love the fragrance as well!

It didn't last and the scent was okay.

Nice

This brand does tend to last long. I love it.

Smells kind of like an old lady!

Yes

Too much magnolia scent

Tried something new, love how the scent smell

ok

I thought I would like this because the amber notes (amber works really well with my body chemistry) but the gardenia was overpowering. It ended up giving me a slight headache even. Also, something about this perfume did not mix with my body chemistry at all because I ended up getting hints of mothballs which I did not enjoy.

Fig scents can be tricky. I don't know why so many perfumers add coconut to so many. Thankfully, this one avoids the stereotypical fig scent!!. It's closer to the real fruit, but it's also blended with florals. The dry down is ambery but not sharp.This is an easy to wear scent which fits well in Spring, Summer and Fall. Warmer climates - all year round. More feminine than unisex due to sweet florals.

too floral for me

Very very strong on the gardens, could not smell much of anything else

The perfect mix of floral and sweet. Im in love

A unique scent. Not one for everyday

If you’re not a fan of Gardenia, stay clear from this perfume. It’s a very strong, floral and sweet fragrance. I tried wearing it twice and simply couldn’t stand it.

This is almost straight gardenia and unripe fig, with only the slightest hint of amber on the tail end of the drydown if I stick my nose directly on my skin. It's completely forgettable, like a dollar store body spray. My five-year-old daughter, however, thinks it makes her smell like a fairy princess, so I gave my vial to her. There are much more complex and memorable gardenia and fig scents out there. Unless you enjoy ultra-light fresh florals, I wouldn't bother with this one.

No. Just no. It smells like old cardboard and old lady. I really wish I had picked something else.

This was not for me. When I first received the scent, it smelled horrible; however, I gave it a try and put it on. I can’t describe the smell but it just wasn’t to my liking and didn’t agree with my body chemistry. It was very strong too.

Good

I did not care for this parfum at all. The only scent that I could pick up on was the gardenia and it reminded me of a floral air freshener.

I do no recommend this at all. I smells horrible to me. Take your chances if you want.

Did not like it at all. Will not wear it.

If I could rate it a zero, I would. There is a scent that is so harsh to the nose 😳and revolting🤢. I'm not sure I could be in a public bathroom with you. If you love Etat Libre D Orange, Remarkanle People or Like This are the best! THE BEST!

2 words: fig bomb. I love oriental/amber frags but I got none when I sprayed it on my wrists. Just... fig. It smells nice for what it is, but Ifound it too boring and too strong of a single fig scent... (Plus it goes strong for an hour or so then just. Dies out?) If you enjoy scents like that you might enjoy it. It's just not for me

This lethal review requires an explanation. One time in high school, I was in the backroom sifting through old magazines (trying to find nudes in National Geographic) and behind some yellowing editions that hadn't been touched since the 60's I found a little vial of unlabeled perfume. It was a tester size, and I should've known from the toxic waste-orange color, that is was now vinegar acid. I still had to smell it. Tragically, when I popped off the rubber cork top, the oily residue slipped through my finders and all .8 ounces of it spilled on my Nirvana tshirt. It smelled like the aerosol coroners use on old-dead ladies, but more like the smell of an exhumed casket that contained an old lady corpse after 50 years of southern cemetery heat. It stayed in my pores like a skunk spray. I almost had to drop out of school because students called me "Funky Old Medina" so much. One girl in my gym class that day actually threw up. This perfume is the successor to that cursed vial in the library.

This was my first scentbird delivery. It's floral without being overly so, and it's one that I probably wouldn't have smelled and purchased in store, but the more I wear it the more I love it. I get lots of compliments on this one.

I can’t describe it, I only know that it’s not me and not my taste. 2* because I feel bad to leave 1*, but actually Is 1*.

This is a little too musty for me. The gardenia is also the only element that really comes through strong. Overall, it's ok, and I'll use it... but not often.

Smelled like fall. Not overpowering wish I It would have lasted longer throughout the day

This one is an airy gardenia scent, with a touch of sensuality thrown in by the ambrox. It’s lovely and ladylike.

Really nice fig fragrance... not too strong at all, no headaches... staying power, lasted all day... a clean and gorgeous scent. Not too sweet, has a green, grassy note in there that you pick up every so often.
