the Dance of Jasmine Blossoms

Testing new things is currently too exhausting for me; so I rummage through my "to be reviewed" folders with the various collections of fragrances to comment on and here, much to my surprise, I find access to one or another bottled creation.

I seek warmth and light, and so I recently landed on "Danza Armena" by Michele Bianchi, who truly lives up to his name here: He created an almost white fragrance that I only now fully appreciate!

Heavy white, almost slightly overripe jasmine blossoms with golden-yellow faces dominate the scent profile, along with their smaller, flower-like, umbel-shaped relatives.
In densely woven veils with powdered cinnamon patterns, they sway to the rhythm of unknown, inaudible sounds; they circle, entwine one another, and then separate again, only to meet again in new fragrant facets.
From the undulating white, a sparkling freshness of mandarin occasionally flashes forth, before this elegant veiled being settles on a body of tastefully resinous warm and creamy white vanilla, where it lazily drapes itself in a very refined manner:
Completely the seductive vanilla goddess in a provocative garment, woven or braided from countless white jasmine blossoms.
Here, their slightly animalistic sensuality meets a body of spicy amber smoke, accompanied by benzoin and dark violet styrax.
This smoky ensemble also dances its own figures before both intertwine fragrant, marrying each other.

"Danza Armena" is a beautiful decorative shell for occasions when something extraordinary is desired.
I love this slightly carrion-scented ("stinky" - yes, I won't forget it, dear Meggi!) jasmine fragrance fullness that snuggles up creamy here, while also being accompanied by smoky-spicy notes, resembling a special piece of clothing.

Here I find a rich fragrance creation of white flowers and aromatic smoke that is completely independent of the season.
This jasmine scent does not need early summer sun and warmth to shine: It carries the sun and its vanilla-heavy animal warmth within.
Occasionally, a bit of subtle eroticism is also something nice!
So why not today?

A very beautiful, enthusiastic, and detailed description. I often have issues with dominant jasmine notes in fragrances, but this one still sounds very interesting.

There are still plenty of fragrance samples, probably just as interesting.
But you know: The right words need to be ready!
