4 Best Smelling Jessica McClintock Perfumes

Jessica McClintock has been a popular name in certain fashion niches for decades. During this time period, the designer has released some fragrances, and some of those have enjoyed a good amount of best seller status. In this post, I wanted to select four scents which could be considered the best of the Jessica McClintock line. As usual, I have linked each to their page on Amazon for more info and ease of purchase.

What are the Best Smelling Jessica McClintock Perfumes?

Most Popular

Jessica Mcclintock By Jessica Mcclintock For Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 3.4 Oz.– The originator and the most popular of the line of Jessica McClintock fragrances. It’s been around for decades now and is a mostly floral blend with fruit notes such as lemon.

Lily, rose, and jasmine are the triumvirate of floral notes which power this classic womanly perfume. It is a light bouquet of those floral notes with a bit of citrus to prevent it from turning too ‘green’.

Super Floral

Jessica McClintock No. 3 Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 3.4 Ounce– Another floral that is highlighted by a lily note, but this one is a pure floral and there isn’t any fruit to balance it out. Mostly, the lily and magnolia will peak through and some light greenish undertones.

Obviously, this should only be worn by those who enjoy a nice flower-laden fragrance and McClintock No. 3 also feature notes of  rose, lilac, and magnolia. Like walking in a springtime garden. Sweet, smooth, and fresh.

Fruity Violet

Jessica Mc Clintock Dancing Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce– A very clean and light fragrance with notes of juicy green apple and violet petals. It’s got a sugar citrus sweetness provided by the lemon, bergamot, and black currant notes but it all sits on top of a floral bed.

Gardenia and jasmine flank the fruit combination and provide something that is purely feminine. The floral accord comes across as fairly powdery at times, yet, with a bright and somewhat tart opening act.

The apple is the main fruit note, but the citrus and black currant are very present initially. That opening is almost all fruit aromas.

Led by Lily

JESS BY JESSICA McCLINTOCK 3.4 EDP SPRAY– Another floral but with a woody base and a bit of a different mixture from the usual flower fare.  This one is highlighted by hyacinth, which has a rather unique place, in a world where so many perfumes are headlined by the usual rose and lily notes.

It’s a light floral that is beautiful and none too complex, but one that is green and refreshing on a spring day. Update: This has now been replaced by Modern Jess. Though, you can find bottles of each, and they pretty much overlap in terms of smell.

Best Men's Colognes

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with the different fragrances that I’ve owned, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, that new hobby grew into a consistent passion, helping millions of readers along the way. I have personally written reviews for well over 800 perfumes and colognes for both men and women. This is along with writing hundreds of other in-depth fragrance guides.
