Elegant, deep, calming Jasmine

This is the perfume that brought me to the joy of perfume collecting. It is also the one that made me realize my love for white flowers in general and jasmine in particular. It's such a deep, classy, sophisticated jasmine scent.

I was obsessed with it the moment the Jo Malone store clerk in Rome sprayed it on my wrist. It was a hot, 42°C day. I was initially only curious about the normal cologne and tested the English Pear & Freesia and Peony & Blush Suade. I was not ready to buy a full bottle right away because of the price. But then, I saw the black cologne intense bottles. I asked what the differences were, and she sprayed this on me. It did not impress me at first, but then after a few hours, I came back to the store, asking the name of the bottle, then later bought it on my birthday. Even now, after sniffing the Tom Ford Jasmine Rouge, Diptyque Olene and Do Son, and Chloe Jasmine Nomade, this jasmine scent still leave a big impression on me. It's not a rich Jasmine milktea like Jasmine Rouge. It's not a bouquet of jasmine and other flowers like Do Son and Olene. It's not just passing by a jasmine on the way to a vanilla shop like Chloe Nomade Jasmine. This scent is more like an elegant mysterious lady with a calm voice you meet spontanously somewhere and cannot get her out of your head. For me, the scent is like that.

I sprayed this when I'm nervous. Or before going to bed. Or simply for a night out. I think this scent could be overwhelming for those who are not into or get headache with jasmine. But for me, it's just perfect. It lasts around 6-8 hours on me, so the price is okay.
