Night Scented Morning Fragance in Florence
With the knowledge that "Night scented Jasmine" is a reconstitution of the historical perfume "Jasmin" I approached to it with awe.
I consider "Night Scented Jasmine" as a scent for me only tolerable during the morning and in winter or spring. Because I have an ambiguous relation to white-flower-scents like jasmine, lily, gardenia and narcissus etc.
"Night Scented Jasmine" starts with a jasmine-lily-narcissus mixture but is not too strong and percolating smelling for me. The tangy scent of neroli and the green notes are moderating it to a more herbal and green top-note. This is bearable for me.
A short time I am smelling something leathern but this is vanishing and an intriguing mixture which I cannot identify in particular gives the backround of a scent which is very familiar to me, a tangy special scent: Mimosa! The scent of Florence in march when I spent one month down there to learn the Italian language. Never before I could recognize real mimosa in a fragance though it was listed. That is what I appreciate by Floris Perfums: The authentically and genuine ingredients!
To continue: As well the mimosa as sandalwood, precious woods and vetiver are giving "Night Scented Jasmine" a pleasently bitter-resinous note. Ambergris seems to soften it down. Something darkgreen gives a consistantly backround. Though after hours "Night Scented Jasmine" is going to keep it's mixture of floral, herbal and resinous character - difficult to describe for me - then it is changing down to a more poudry and sweet note until the scent is almost fading out. And yet there is lasting on my skin and around me a delicate whiff still mimosa, still bitter-sweet flowers, still lasting for more hours, still Florence.
