Boss Collection - Silk Jasmine Hugo Boss 2011

...,the experience is truly enchanting. Immediately after spraying, one is enveloped in delicious trails of honey and jasmine, delicately seductive, silky, and sensual.

However, by the second minute, the fragrance wraps itself in silence. A noble silence, indeed... but it is silent. At best, a deep breath near the wrist conveys a vague hint of what was intended as the heart and base notes. Gentle creaminess, subtly spicy, a cautious shift towards hand soap.

This is not unattractive, but somewhat arbitrary. I generally like to identify myself as a lover of finely crafted accents, but here the action is so silent that the term "olfactory experience" is actually inappropriate.

"Stay a while, top note, you are so beautiful...!", one wants to call out to the fragrance. But hardly has it been said, the magic has already dissolved into thin air.
