Jasmine - there's really no need to rewrite this and Francis doesn't either
Recently, I was in the city and I smelled this fragrance on a lady. Memorable, yet simple jasmine, beautifully bright and intense.
Then the search began. I tested so many and asked saleswomen so often.
But no fragrance came anywhere near the jasmine scent I had smelled.
Even at home, I sprayed a few rarely used jasmine fragrances again, hoping that it might have slipped through in my collection or that I could have something similar. But no... no Fragonard Jasmine was even remotely similar.
At Galeria, a saleswoman sprayed the Gucci Flora jasmine scent on me and said it could only be that one, but no, that one wasn’t similar either and I didn’t want anything else.
I looked around a bit more, but then I gave up the search.
Since I am absolutely infatuated with the J'adore fragrances and have a tray of them in my bedroom, and I always wear one of them when I want to smell seductive but not too heavily covered in perfume, I naturally ordered the new J'adore L'Or this week.
The price is quite steep, I realized, but I was lucky to get it significantly cheaper with a voucher. But for a blind purchase, it was still too expensive, so I wanted to test it in the city today. However, the tester at Galeria was gone, stolen, said the saleswoman. So I went to Müller and sprayed it there.
And before anyone complains, "buy online and test in-store," I have also bought many perfumes at Müller, but there it was 56 euros more expensive than online. That’s a lot of money for me.
I have to say that I had just sprayed Gucci Rush at home shortly before and it was quite dominant on my wrist, but I found a spot and sprayed it in my hair as well. What can I say, after about a minute I realized that this was the jasmine scent I had been unsuccessfully searching for. So the fragrance actually only smells like jasmine and every saleswoman should bring that one out when someone asks for it. The orange blossom is always present with Mr. Kurkdjian, but here it’s only there to emphasize the jasmine. The rose might give a minimal soapy quality, but I don’t smell it explicitly. It also smells stronger than the Rush, which I also wore. After showering, without washing my hair, I only smell the gold scent. And tomorrow, when I pick up the package from the post.
To emphasize its own scent, the J'adore L'Or is far too strong and potent, and thus not suitable as a skin scent like the much more delicate J'adore EDP, but it is perfect for going out and making an impression.
In my opinion, it is worth the price because there is nothing comparable and also little so intense that smells so beautifully and fresh like jasmine.
As life goes, it ultimately always plays into my hands. By that, I don’t mean my collection, which interests me less, but my husband.
