Jasmine Perfected
[Subjective]
Jasmine after a light summer rain. Absolutely stunning in the clarity and quality of its simplicity. Everything here supports the jasmine in a subtle and delicate way. The special process used in this fragrance really seems to pay off, as this is the most photorealistic fresh jasmine I have smelled so far. The faecal and earthy qualities of jasmine at night are missing, though, if they were there, this would be an absolute 10. It was so fun for me to experience this scent so many times; white florals are too sweet for me. I think this fragrance is a must-try for anyone, really. It’s not cheap, but the 50ml will last you a while given its performance, and there is really nothing else like this available right now.
The Ambrosia flanker is interesting but a bit confused. It’s pleasant and fresh, but it misses the balance and clarity of the original Gelsomino a freddo
I wish more houses would take the dive into novel extraction techniques. I’d personally rather hear marketing about ingredients, sourcing and processing than see a celebrity campaign, or marketing focused solely on performance.
[Opening]
Gorgeous photorealistic fresh Jasmin, an absolutely pure and clear jasmine presentation. Once you recover from the (pleasant) floral blast, the accord is complicated by a very complementary and subtle spice alongside a green freshness that reminds me of watermelon rinds.
[Development]
Over time, the spice and a very faint smoke note become more apparent, but the jasmine remains intense and luminous in a way I haven’t perceived before. The jasmine disappears very elegantly and slowly, revealing a warm skokeyness and violet floral notes. For a floral fragrance with very little wood or musk, this is really as good as it gets in terms of quality and balance in the durational aspects of a scent.
[Performance]
Stunning, 8+ hour wear with gorgeous development. The jasmine remains present until the end. Projection is also good and not over-the-top. Masterfully made.
