A play with Jasmine
Ah, it says right here: Jasmine in the cast. Main antagonist. Yes?
If I was perfumer, I'd give some fantabulous phantasy names to my inventions, only vaguely associated with the real ingredients. For example, I like Imaginary Authors fictive titles. We can envision the nature of their fragrances, but just because they bear those names, nobody expects them to actually contain bull's blood or a city on fire. Whereas if jasmine is on the label, everyone expects jasmine.
Well, fine. It DOES contain jasmine. In fact, 600 times, carefully picked, says the website. And oh yeah, this kind of decadency is exactlly what any shiny advertisement brochure would claim, accompanied by a great marketing shot. But I do believe Sharini. One of the reasons is the extensive amount of media on the slightly chaotic website, where perfume creator Nicolas squats in the lavender field, swinging his hand scythe and fills copious amounts of flowers in coppery cauldrons. If anyone knows the old German show Hobbythek (which was all about creating your own stuff, in fact including perfumes): He reminds me of Jean Pütz, in his best years, maybe with a slight hippie tint. Artist by dedication, I reckon!
My problem with Jasmin Celeste is rather a logic one: That is to say, while I do recognize the flower scent, there are two further perfumes by Sharini, which display jasmine way more prominent than this one: "Musc d'Hibiscus" and "Iris véritable". Maybe this jasmine is so celeste that it's already on its way heavenwards? Fortunately, it's in good company in the flacon: 300 rose buds, 120 orange flowers and much more. It's exemplary how Sharini lists the complete ingredients (if only split on two different pages, but still) transparently. I wish all brands did that, but of course, which big mainstream brand would ever want to proactively inform their customers of the toxicity that are wide-spread in perfumes (and other products) nowadays? Hmm.
And thus, jasmine only acts as side role in the play with her name. I don't mind really: Of the three mentioned Sharini scents, Jasmin Celeste is my favourite. Nothing is indolic or too florid, attributes that jasmine carries all too often for my taste. Would I wear it? No, unsurprisingly too floral for me as a guy. But it's an enjoyable one.
Conclusion: Dulcet piece of theatre. Watch it.
