The perfumes are undeniably bursting with white floral bouquet. It possesses a distinct air of femininity, so appealing, that only brides can carry it with elegance.
The signature fragrance, Jessica McClintock perfume is the classic floral fragrance and very much 80’s to some extent. It’s heavy on the floral accords. It's flower power in a bottle, so to speak.The initial whiff is an overflow of soft flowers with nuances of musky woods. The contrasting aroma of these essential oils gives the fragrance its sillage prowess.
Another scent from the collection is the famed Silk Ribbons. Like the name suggests, it’s a quiet floral fragrance with a silky floral finish. It doesn’t announce itself in the crowd rather it possesses a very unique style, a quietly demure fragrance, if you may call it that. The fragrance is a tamed version of the original making it a nice daily wear.
There’s also a perfume created for men in the McClintock fragrance collection called Scott McClintock. The perfume smells like the original Jessica McClintock with a spicy twist. It’s still the fragrant flowers that fill the air but this time, it’s sprinkled with spices for that strikingly masculine effect.
