There are some fragrances that are so unobtrusive that they actually tend to fade away, which is quite a shame. Trussardi is one of those for me. I have neither a strong affinity for the fragrance house nor am I particularly drawn to the bottle design.
Nevertheless, I had noted Pure Jasmine on my list and tested it in the summer. While I liked what I smelled, I also had Olympea Solar on my skin at the time, which caught my attention more, and the little jasmine was simply too quiet that day.
Coincidentally, I received a sample of the fragrance with a perfume package and was about to pass it on thoughtlessly until I realized that it was the jasmine scent that I actually liked very much but had dismissed for reasons I couldn't recall.
The fragrance opens fresh and sweet at the same time. Somehow aquatic, citrusy, marine, and yes, you can smell the pistachio too, although I wouldn't have been able to identify it as pistachio if it weren't mentioned here, I admit. All of this is painted in Monet colors, blurred, not flashy.
I really like this start, which pours into a bright, clear floral picture. The jasmine is nicely toned down to its light nuances and its sweetness, only occasionally does the indolic note flash up, but just for a moment. This could look different in very high temperatures; jasmine tends to be quite assertive in summer, as we know.
Particularly noteworthy is this wonderful creaminess, although the fragrance follows a rather clean line, a clear scent trail (you do associate colors with sillage, right? The Pure Jasmine is definitely transparent in the sillage with milky veils). However, it is not a powdery creaminess, nor a creamy creaminess; it is this kind of well-groomed creaminess that leans more towards understatement. Nothing here clogs the nose, you don't feel greasy.
Towards the end, jasmine hands over its sweetness to the vanilla. It is a truly enchanting vanilla, not a bakery vanilla. Overall, the fragrance is sweet but not sugary. I cannot draw a parallel to Girl of Now, as indicated.
And thus the circle closes; the fragrance is beautiful. It has no recognizability, it is not a head-turner, and yet in its understated sillage, its well-groomed nature, and its non-sugary quality, it is a perfect fragrance for so many occasions. Perhaps even a perfect bridal scent.
Finally! I was finally able to smell it, and I completely agree with you! It's a beautiful, creamy, soft fragrance with a sweetness that even I can appreciate. Well described!
I don't know this one; however, I really like the "Scent of Gold" from this house. And it doesn't always have to be a head-turner; sometimes an understated scent is enough. In fact, it might even be necessary.
It seems that Thomaso Trussardi commissioned a very feminine fragrance that has been nicely crafted. Your description definitely 'tickles' my olfactory imagination. ;)
First of all: So nice to read from you again!!!!!!
You've described the scent with such kindness. Fragrances that just smell beautiful deserve much more attention. This one might still be a bit too sweet for me, but I'm already curious.
Oh, I have nothing against sweet scents. Sweet is something beautiful. It doesn't always fit, and you don't always want it, but it's lovely. From now on: wishlist.
Thank you very much. I'm not sure I could say it's too sweet for you; I would lean more towards it being too floral. It could be too floral for you. In terms of the scent profile, I would categorize it more towards 1957 by Chanel.
