the dance of the jasmine blossoms

Testing new things is too exhausting for me at the moment; so I rummage through my "resubmission" folders with the various collections of fragrances to be commented on and, much to my astonishment, find access to one or the other bottled creation.

I am looking for warmth and light and so I recently ended up with "Danza Armena" by Michele Bianchi, who lives up to his name here: he created an almost white fragrance that I can only now fully appreciate!
Heavy white, almost slightly overripe jasmine blossoms with golden yellow faces dominate the fragrance together with their smaller-flowered umbel-shaped relatives.
In densely woven veils with powdered cinnamon patterns, they sway to the rhythm of unknown, inaudible sounds; they circle around, entwine and separate again, only to meet again in new fragrance facets.
From time to time, tangy tangerine freshness flashes out of the billowing white, before this elegant veiled creature settles on a body of tastefully resinous warm and creamy white vanilla, where it drapes itself languidly in a very refined manner:
Quite the seductive vanilla goddess in a provocative garment made from masses of white jasmine blossoms.
Here, their slightly animalistic sensuality meets a body of spicy amber smoke, accompanied by benzoin and dark purple styrax.
This smoking ensemble also dances its very own figures before the two entwine fragrantly, marrying together.

"Danza Armena" is a beautiful decorative cover for occasions when something extraordinary is desired.
I love this slightly carriony-smelling ("stinky" - yes, I won't forget, dear Meggi!) jasmine fragrance, which is creamy here, but at the same time smoky and spicy and resembles a special piece of clothing.

Here I find a rich fragrance creation full of white flowers and aromatic smoke that is completely unaffected by the season.
This jasmine fragrance doesn't need early summer sun and warmth to shine: It carries the sun and its vanilla-heavy animalic sultriness.
Every now and then, a little subtle eroticism is a nice touch! So why not today?
