Stairway To Heaven Jul et Mad Paris for women and men

This is freaking gorgeous. I don’t see how it could possibly offend anyone. It’s so clean light and fresh but still has a presence. Sweet orange & heliotrope are the standouts for me.
Anything I have to say about this fragrance isn’t going to do it justice you should really Sample it if you adore, clean, crisp fragrances.

P.s this doesn’t smell even one iota like Vera Wang princess.

A very aptly named fragrance. This is one of the cleanest fragrances I’ve ever smelled without smelling like cleaner. The aldehydes in this are very sparkly and fizzy to me. In fact all I really smell is aldehydes - in a good way. This is 100% backup bottle worthy in my opinion. Will make you feel like a snow queen in winter, and laying on a fluffy cloud (with a pillow that is always cold) during the summer.

To me this smells like “summer in a bottle “, its fresh but not too much, is sweet but not too much. It smells very clean aesthetic girl, very beautiful, is musky and fruity, I would say this smells like grapes (red grapes). I know for sure that this scent will be in my collection forever. I’m obsessed with this 😍😍

Are you afraid of heights or rather astonished and in ecstasy when being among the clouds?
This fragrance is created for worship and ravishment before the majesty of the Air element. Carefreeness and spiritual light are tactile here, in addition to the gentle touch and grace of the fluffy dandelion seeds.
There is no dissonance between floral, citrusy and balsamic accords, every one of them is on its rightful place, in a perfect symphony. This perfume sound also lyrical like *Between Twilight* (from Lindsey Stirling).
It is a pure pleasure and delight for the senses, especially when they have been olfactory overloaded.

Ha. It´s fascinating to read as other people perceive the same smell.

I love Stairway to Heaven. I really do. I don´t get any musk, gunpowder, fruit, nor aldehydes. What I get is Fanta drink with ice cubes. It feels fresh and fizzy, and I can almost feel bubbles tickling in my mouth.
Amazing.

angelic smell. its like laying on a cloud surrounded by the softest musk
strangely its not sweet but almost minty. very interesting but tiring over time. too chemical.

the gunpowder note is the same as in cdg 2

This is what an angel would wear. Truly ethereal and otherworldly.

If you want to stand out, this is for you. The wafts of this masterpiece are polarizing and very pretty, oddly. Don't overspray!

I’ve been playing with this for a few days and this is a scent to spray lower on your body so you catch wafts as you move around-to me, it does not smell good up close like on my neck or smelling my wrists. This is best in the air. I like it a lot that way. Here is what it smells like to me, in a good way: smells like you have poured a berry flavored La Croix/Perrier type sparkling water over a chunk of dry ice, and the foggy vapor produced is the smell of Stairway to Heaven.

A sparkling bottle of sugary Ramune left in a cold fridge. A little metallic but oddly cozy as well, the juxtaposition is interesting. Straddles the line of "interesting" and "wearable" very well, I wonder why I don't wear it more. I suppose it's because I have trouble deciding which season to wear it in. Sunny and cold days in the spring and autumn might suit Stairway to Heaven the best, as in summer the scent is too thick and heavy, and it may be too cold-smelling to wearing the cold winter. Would be great for the office as I think Stairway to Heaven is a bit too formal for me on a daily basis.

Love at first sniff...me in a bottle. Cold yet warm.

Wow, this one is fascinating. I've been testing this for a few weeks now and although on its face it isn't super complex with radical niche transitions, in a way it is because it's so unique. This scent was not a love at first sniff for me because it's so strange. This scent is all about texture. The 8 different musks combined with rose, berries, orris, heliotrope and airy diffusive aldeydes make me think of think of being on a mountain top in the heavens.

Overall it's a silky smooth, musky, laconic and tranquil experience that reminds me of fresh, air dried linens, strawberry fields, ice cream, and fluffy clouds. I think the perfumer did a good job of representing a heavenly headspace. It's also got a pleasant berry note that smells like an airy strawberry. The sum is a pillow soft clouds, fresh mountain air, with strawberry or berry patch in the distance. 🫧 ☁️🍓

Scent 7.8/10
Performance 9/10

P. S. Easy on the trigger, this one is beguiling with its soft and cold texture, but it's also potent.

This is THE avant-garde fragrance I've always wanted . . . too bad it doesn't suit me enough to not feel like I'm layering a masterpiece around me instead of on me lol. There's something so uniquely fizzy and fun about STH, with a (fresh and very literal) air of synthetic indifference that keeps me coming back to this fragrance like no other. It manages to balance immensely artful creativity with wearability ~

I get scent memories of bright summer poolside concrete and sparkling chlorinated water at a school swimming carnival - yet somehow only the positive associations. To me, it's so cold it's hot. The crisp aloofness makes it ultra modern - more youthful than childish, upbeat, and so, so stylish.

If you can rock this please do so for the sake of humanity because the world needs to smell this abstract wonder - plus, you'll definitely smell cooler than me d:

Smells cheap, harsh and hubs hates it. Great 🐈 litter freshener. Thanks but I’ll take the elevator.

I am joining the choir of all who sing praises of this masterpiece.
At first my nose doesn't know what to pick up, there is so much and so well blended. A good bit of sweetness, iris-like powder, citrus zing and the sparkling aldehydes. I am not an aldehyde fan at all, but this is beautifully blended and doesn't choke me out.

This is such a versatile scent. Yes it can be worn as a white blouse + jeans fragrance but where I find more interest is the subtle seduction that this scent encompasses. The picture: white, cool silk sheets, crisp, but you and your partner left your perfume on those sheets after a steamy night. Suggestive but classy!
And yes, this would smell soooo good on a man too!
One of my best purchases this year. LOVE

One of my absolute faves. I love a powdery scent but the gunpowder and incense turn this into something more punchy.
A sharp suited assassin

This is such an unusual scent. I don't like it, its way way too fizzy for me. But it is a really high quality fragrance, brilliantly crafted, complex and a bit beast mode in its own gentle way. Great bottle just not to my taste. If you like ice cold scents this is for you. But definitely don't blind buy!

خاص، آرام و در عین حال بسیار پیچیده. یه عطر مشکی پودری که با وانیل شیرین شده و کلی جزئیات جذاب داره. در عین حال همواره رام و ارومه. سبک من نیست ولی طراحی رایحه استادانه انجام شده.

White musk carried by the distinct sparkle of aldehydes plus citric fizz, with faint undertones of incense and powdery heliotrope. "Flavorless" would be an accurate one-word description, as this really smells like almost nothing. Fresh, clean laundry washed with unscented soap and line-dried? A church filled with snuffed candles, but the candles weren't recently burning and the building is brightly lit? It's like a combination of textures without taste. Moderately soft projection for 3-5hr, longevity 12hr+.

Easy to wear frag, stays close to skin. Although its not my type of frag, but I like it. Not powdery, just cozy, musky and fresh.

I could easily choose this as a signature scent. It is so abstract, it doesn’t become annoying to me and even though it has quite a weird composition, with the gunpowder next to sweeter notes and aldehydes, it is actually super pleasant. Longevity is excellent, I can easily smell it the next day, especially on clothes and hair. It is airy and bright, so you won’t bother anyone with it. In a perfume world flooded with gourmands, this is literally a breath of fresh air. Not boring either.

What this scent smells of to me:
Gunpowder on a white marble table, cotton candy clouds, a frozen can of fruit cocktail, an angels breath, a mothers hug, strawberry soda (or Big Red), compact makeup mixed with vanilla scented lipstick, falling in love, watching romantic comedies in your pajamas, the sensation of an icy raindrop falling on your cheek, childhood tea parties, white scalloped plates and slices of pound cake topped with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.

This smells like chlorinated water in a freshly cleaned indoor swimming pool. I don't hate it.

Like stepping into a fridge where they keep some fruit & pool cleaning chemicals. It's weird, it's niche², it's interesting as a smell concept but it's not something I really want to be wearing as a perfume in the sense perfume is usually worn, that is, in order to be more appealing to other humans. I got this off Ebay out of curiosity. Can't imagine smelling it in a shop n deciding to buy it at full whack. Having said all that, I've worn it n been told 'it's very me'.. er.. yeah I guess it is, weird, strange n a bit difficult with the odd facet that's just about acceptable, lolz.
Sighing :(

I have not encountered anything like this before. What an interesting olfactory experience with this particular fragrance. I get a cotton candy mixed with some type of mineral (which I assume is the sweetness from the berries and the gunpowder accord).


I can definitely see how people get the experience of opening a new refrigerator, chlorine in a pool, and literal fresh air.

Very fascinating...

Strawberry milk-shake and fresh breeze :) really really longlasting and great sillage

Smells like the inside of a new fridge. How did I end up on this weird side of niche? I love their Stilettos though, so do give this brand a chance.

Fizz, fizz, fizz! Like a fizzy soda. Orange and berries very well blended but it's not a fruity blast, more in the background. It has a gun power note and you do smell it. It's like opening up a fizzy drink and a shooting a gun at the same time. Drydown is strangely beautiful, leaving a so very light fresh sweet scent. It's not a challenging scent, just very different and unique. HavenLeeScents on YouTube said that this fragrance reminds him of the movie Twilight and he couldn't be more correct. 😅

the rapture, the bliss, the exaltation....if there was a scent for that...this would be it. Not easy to describe, but strangely beautiful...

This is absolutely stunning. I think it’s so wonderfully named. It does smell like you’re standing on the highest mountain and smelling the freshest air and the clouds and ozone and the sparkling rays of sun. It’s brilliant and beautiful and happy.

This fragrance has more texture than anything I’ve ever had my nose on. The aldehydes make it sparkle and fizz and the gunpowder makes it sharp and zing like tiny glass shards.

Honestly I’ve never encountered another fragrance like this one. It’s a masterpiece.

I wanted to make a review because this fragrance touched my heart but I don’t want to reduce it to a special song.
Very transparent, well blended, for delicate free souls and maybe little ghosts. Enough words.

Beautiful. It is similar to TF Metallique but the drydown is much prettier and a little more floral. This was a blind buy that I'm quite happy about.

I love this one so much! The gunpowder note is fascinating amidst the incense and musks. It is so good and clean smelling and mysterious and bold. Both my husband and son, who are usually indifferent to whatever perfume I am wearing or make them smell, both remarked that they really like it, with a surprised look on their faces. This is super significant. I would definitely call this my favorite EVER... Top 3 at the very least.

Drops of morning dew appear on the petals of a precious snowdrop as it emerges from a snowy and icy barrier. Suddenly the drop falls onto the glistening snow, leaving a misty trail behind. In the far beyond, the sun shines on the mountaintops, a chilly wind blows through the trees. The air is crisp. Breathe.

I wanted to paint the cleanest, whitest, most refreshing picture I could because that is what this fragrance reminds me of - total clarity and purity. Cecile Zarokian created Stairway to Heaven - a very opt name! - for Jul et At Mad; a modern and unique take on aldehydes.

This fragrance is aldehyde heavy, but do not imagine a No.5 kinda aldehyde sensation; this is totally different - on the top, citrus and aldehydes blend together which is throughout accompanier by a faint floral trail, heliotrope with rose - but this is also not a floral creation in my opinion.

This fragrance is truly hard to write about because it resembles so many different things - the aldehydes and the citrus give it a fresh feeling throughout, the floral notes make it slightly sweet, and the base of musk, gunpowder, ambroxan make it truly deep and unique - it is almost mineral and salt-like in the drydown on my skin, and has an edgy undertone to it. Truly, truly unique. A fragrantica review said that after the initial spray its like a celery-accord would appear - and I kinda agree. But eventually it becomes this slightly sweet, aldehydic, freshly mineral fragrance. I would just absolutely love to ask Cecile how she came up with this particular formula because this is just so incredibly unique. ❄️ And let me just add that this is absolutely mindblowingly long lasting - talking about days and days on clothes!

This is a very interesting & well-composed fragrance, but is not super to my taste. Opening is strong aldehyde & citrus, and very sweet. Interestingly, this opening immediately strongly reminded me of the celery accord of Skarb, by Humiecki & Graef. This citrus aldehydic accord extends for a very long time as it introduces heliotropin floral heart accord, also very sweet, which is super smooth & powdery. Base is well-balanced musky balsamic with enjoyable olibanum slightly smoky incense facets, sweetened by plenty of vanilla. Base becomes prominent pretty quickly, so the floral heart is really only forward briefly & takes a back seat to the top & base. For me, the unifying theme is that this is MEGA sweet. So if you like that, this is absolutely worth a try.

Ok let me start by saying I do not like Aldehydes, all the Aldehydic fragrance I smelled makes me thing of vintage. This is not that at all, I’m so in love with this fragrance. It’s so well blended, I can’t really pick out any notes. It’s so addicting to smell. Works so well in the heat. A little sweet but with something creamy, I do get a little smoky pleasant note of incense here and I think that’s what makes it so addicting. It’s creamy smooth so smooth and airy. The performance and longevity is outstanding. If only all Aldehydes would smell like that I would be totally into them. It’s gorgeous and honestly it needs to be experienced because it’s very hard to describe.

I’m really enjoying this modern take on aldehydes! I received a sample from my favorite niche perfumery, Indigo Perfumery, and later bought a FB.

Although Igsoltek can draw associations with other earlier works, these are too obscure to my untrained nose. In the universe of perfumes with which I’m acquainted, I think this perfume is very unique, if not boundary pushing with the overt aldehydic quality which isn’t so popular nowadays. The closest approximation I could draw to this perfume would be Chanel No 5 Eau Premiere. As much as I love No 5 EP, there is a melancholic nuance to it. Stairway to Heaven is lighter, brighter and happier, but with depth brought by the vanilla, patchouli and incense (these notes are not detected individually; this is an abstract blend), as opposed to a woody base in No 5 EP.

The perfumeurs’ attempt to conjure “whiteness” was a resounding success in my view. The overall feeling I get while wearing this beauty is meditative, comforting and uplifting. The perfume is a play of opposites—warm and cold, fresh and deep. The opening is cool, bright and fizzy with a touch of citrus in a soft, aldehydic burst. As the fragrance develops, soft florals, and warm vanillic musks bring a sense of comfort. The interplay between warm and cool exists through the duration of the development/drydown. Another fragrance that comes to mind is TF’s Metallique, which differs greatly in that Metallique has two distinct and somewhat disconnected stages—aldehydic opening followed by a vanillic drydown. Stairway to Heaven is smoother with seamless transitions, less synthetic, and the aldehydes are felt throughout.

Simply lovely!

Cécile Zarokian smelled Christophe Laudamiel's Spacewood (The Zoo, 2016) and made a copy. This accord of manmade freshness and highly abstract mineral chilliness was put into action by Laudamiel long ago in 2006 in his (wonderfully original and innovative) Thierry Mugler’s Le Parfum coffret (Ermite).
