Lovely, soft and soapy jasmine partnered with woody creaminess
You can never go wrong with fewer notes than more and this is proof of it. L'Artisan parfumeur spotlights jasmine as this floral beauty that unfurls its petals to the nose of its wearer. At the beginning, she's sharp and floral, with a facet of fruitiness like white-gold. She borders on indolic and powdery territory, but avoids going in too deep. After awhile, it's the creamy facet of jasmine, paired with sandalwood and tonka beans that appear. There's sweetness, a slightly woody aspect and the powdery floral jasmine takes over.
All in all, it's a pretty linear fragrance that is light, almost soapy with florals and a touch of woody sandalwood. It's a safe blind-buy and a more refined, adult version of Flora Gorgeous Jasmine. I also really love the Botanical collection bottles which I find classic with a touch of elegant refinement. I'm not the biggest fan of wearing jasmine on myself which is why it won't make it into my collection, but I'm glad I got to try this quiet but sophisticated fragrance!
