Build your own Guerlinade!
Or also: the perfume kit for the well-heeled.
First of all, I have prejudices. After smelling countless jasmine fragrances, I'm still in love with A la Nuit by Serge Lutens because it's perfect for me in every way. Some, even those by Guerlain, could not match its beauty. What about Jasmin Grandiflorum? The first few minutes were very promising. Beautiful, powerful, fresh jasmine flowers in abundance, as if you were surrounded by jasmine bushes.
The floral freshness subsides and turns into the typical heavier, but still mellow, direction that makes you think of hot, Mediterranean summer nights and the need for cool summer drinks with an umbrella in them. It's a little overpowering, hypnotizing, a little dizzying, but in a good way. I've smelled one or two jasmine scents that have actually left me breathless, but not this one. The white-floral sweetness is just right too, slightly creamy and quite pleasant. The scent, like the 5 others, has good longevity and is perfect for layering. Get all 6 of them and start your own version of the famous Guerlinade!
