Full of contrast and duality, a composition of refreshing, oriental notes, Jicky Eau de Toilette plays on the ambiguous nature of the masculine-feminine olfactory repertoire. It was the first composition to be termed a "perfume", it was also the first unisex fragrance in the history of perfume-making and the oldest perfume created by the House of Guerlain.

Tried this at a fragrance counter and honestly it was overwhelming. Way too much going on, too animalic, too heavy. The civet and leather feel aggressive, and all those spices and woods make it smell dated in a bad way. I get what some people see in it but it's just not for me.
