blooming jasmine & orange - perfected
My first thought upon inhaling La Route d'Emeraude is that it reminded me of "Sung" by Alfred Sung, which in turn had strongly suggested to me a more refined and less aldehydic take on "White Shoulders". And no wonder:
ROUTE D'EMERAUDE
Top Notes: Bergamot, Rose oil, Cinnamon
Heart Notes: Jasmine sambac, Moroccan jasmine absolute, Orange blossom, Tuberose
Base Notes: Ambergris, Benzoin, Vanilla, Musk
SUNG
Top Notes: Bergamot, Galbanum, Hyacinth, Mandarin, Orange, Ylang-ylang, Lemon
Heart Notes: Iris, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-valley, Osmanthus
Base Notes: Amber, Orange wood, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Vetiver
WHITE SHOULDERS
Top Notes: Aldehydes, Bergamot, Green notes, Orange blossom, Peach
Heart Notes: Lilac, Gardenia, Spices, Iris, Jasmine, Lily, Lily-of-the-valley, Tuberose
Base Notes: Amber, Benzoin, Oakmoss, Musk, Sandalwood, Civet
There are other perfumes I've tested over the last few years that sprang from the same well as Sung and White Shoulders, though their names escape me now.
But if you love Sung, you will Looooooove La Route d'Emeraude. It takes the smooth jasmine & orange motif to a whole new level of quality and creaminess. Absolutely luscious, with nice projection and longevity.
