Perfume: Jordache--Hello Kitty.

Recently, I was shopping my local dollar store, not bad for a small port city that has two dollar stores, but okay. . .anyway, I was shopping with my mother and she noticed the store placed a large selection of their perfumes near the front door. While I was getting a kart (cough), my usual routine whilst we are shopping, she was browsing through the fragrances. I don't know what is was she was smelling, spraying or considering, for she bought several bottles. I noticed they had a Jordache 'smell alike' of Hello Kitty by Hello Kitty. (Okay, to say the least, I am a bit confused on the 'who' of this product. On the Jorache bottle the label says Hello Kitty by Hello Kitty. But when I searched the Internet I come up with Hello kitty perfumes from Sanrio co., Demeter and Koto parfumes. So I need to get more educated on the 'who' of this fragrance.)

I remember smelling this particular fragrance while was shopping at a Clair's boutique in our local mall,  and I really, really liked the fragrance. So, to put my mind at rest I took the cap off and gave it one really good sniff. And for being a dollar I bought a bottle. Yet I also smelled another version of Hello Kitty at Target that was not the same as this. On the box by Jordache their disclaimer is they are not connected in anyway to Sanrio and does not use the same smell, more on that later.

This particular perfume is sort of like an old fragrance I use to wear in the day, okay, you got me, I'll translate for you ("in the day"=late 1980's early 1990's). Electric youth by Debbie Gibson is a lot like Jordache's Hello Kitty in my opinion; only, Hello Kitty has more of a subtle 'in your face' bold, musky high tone with a very spicy under tone. What I mean by "subtle 'in your face' bold, musky high tone" is, it's a bold smell that is definitely noticeable yet it's not so bold, or in your face you want to open all the windows gasping for air. It makes a powerful statement without suffocating you. Electric youth was a fragrance with soft powdery under tones with crisp, clean, spicy high tones. The high and under tones of Hello Kitty and Electric youth are about the same with a similar fragrant quality, yet one is more musky than the other, still either way, I like both of them and will be looking for another bottle of Hello Kitty soon. Hello Kitty is still available on the market being launched some time in the late 2000's around 2008 or 2009. Electric youth is something that has been long gone and vanished from the market launching round 1988. It was made by Revlon, so if you look hard and long enough for it you'll find bottles new and used starting at $19.99 to $1, 500+ per bottle, depending if you buy Electric youth from a private deal or a commercial one. A great place to find Hello Kitty is online, although, I have not found the Jordache version online; Still, you may like to still check stores at your local mall. In our mall (Birchwood mall) we can find this perfume at Clair's boutique starting at $18.00. If you want to look up this fragrance under the name and term 'tester' you may get a standard bottle for as little as $11.00. Some perfume websites have listed this fragrance as little as $10.00. It just depends on how much you want this fragrance and how much money you're willing to pay for it. Since I do enjoy this fragrance, I'd pay the $18 to $35.00 for it. And that's not saying the most of it, they have multiple versions of this fragrance from Hello kitty to Hello kitty, Noir.

 I know this Jordache version I have is not the same fragrance I smelled while I was at Target. That fragrance was sweet, lemony and crisp. It made you feel clean, fresh and sweet, while the version I have from Jordache is bold making you feel courageous and confident.

Whatever, or wherever, your fragrant statement is on whatever day of the week, you can be sure Hello Kitty by Jordache is going to be bold.
