Sweet, heavy millesime

In contrast to the previous speakers, I don't find this millesime light at all and even less pleasing.

Nevertheless, after Shalimar Extrait and the edc, it is my favorite Shalimar so far, because I like jasmine so much.
In the first few seconds you really get a full load of jasmine, which has already driven away some jasmine haters. The original can hide it well, in this one it has been masterfully blended without it becoming stuffy or sultry.

Those who have not yet run away can now, after these 10 seconds, look forward to Shalimar's art mixed with a heavy, smoky vanilla. And here, a single spray is enough, because the fragrance has a lot of oomph. When I smell the sprayed area, I have such a heavy sweetness in my nose that it evokes associations with syrup. In the silage, the fragrance is much more pleasant, as is the case with Shalimar Millésime Iris or even Tonka. Jasmine never leaves the fragrance, but for me it is only really noticeable in the first 10-20 seconds. After that, it's a small piece of the puzzle that fits in well but doesn't play the main role.
The Shalimar is not absent, which is how it should be.

For me, this was a successful blind buy.I honestly didn't think that Jelk would succeed in designing such a great creation with jasmine at the center.As it turns out, no expectations are the best and never disappoint.

@VerityChar I tested it last week. It's a very nice jasmine on me, but not too intense or sweet. Every now and then a hint of indolic flashes out. Later comes the nice smoky shalimar vanilla. I like it very much.
