If there was a name that was suggestive then the top prize has to go to illicit.  Unfortunately this was the only fragrance from the company to date. This is such a shame because they showed such promise when they brought out illicit that we thought the dream would go on forever. I would definitely like to see more of Billy Jealousy in the perfume business.

The Brand

Billy Jealousy is a manufacturer of men’s grooming products in the great state of Texas. They debuted illicit and then gave it a miss. The company targets the modern man with products that are practical and stylish at the same time. Their grooming products emphasize the all American wholesome values but with a hint of naughtiness as seen by the titling.

The Fragrance

Illicit starts off with bergamot followed by ginger . The masculinity is emphasized by the presence of sandalwood and musk . This creates a perfume that is just too standard to create any lasting professions. It could be any number of sports fragrances that lie on the market. You could then wonder why I thought they had promise. My idea to give them a thumbs up for showing promise is that they are able to create a quite competent perfume from very simple ingredients. I am afraid that this is an art that has been lost in the modern age of experimentation therefore anyone who tries has to be commended.

The Packaging

Strangely enough the packaging looks like a spirit bottle. In particular it reminds me of Vodka with the black dragon like labeling. I suppose they wanted to maintain a link with their clothing industry in general and the jeans section in particular. It is a sporty king of packaging but it does not raise the temperature.

General Customer Feedback

People who tended to like this perfume were those that always preferred the simple things in life. One customer suggested that it would be a perfect perfume for the busy teenager. I couldn’t agree  more with this sentiment. I wish that the makers would go bold and create a stunning creation that would launch them firmly in the perfume world.
