Secrets d'Essences - Tendre Jasmin Yves Rocher 2008

Very helpful Review
Stay away from me, I don't want you as my signature scent...
...I bought Tendre Jasmin blindly during the Y.R. sale!
Given the good reviews here on parfumo, I thought I could take the plunge without having sniffed it beforehand.
At home, I immediately unpacked it and sprayed it on my arm. Yes, it’s nice.
It starts fruity, not too citrusy and slightly sweet. Relatively unobtrusive, and I decided it could be a perfect office scent.
But somehow it didn’t really blow me away; I didn’t feel any “WOW feeling,” nor did a cozy “mmmmmmhhhhh” escape my lips...
Half an hour later, my boyfriend said: WOW, you smell amazing..
That’s EXACTLY the scent I’ve always wanted to smell on you! It suits you sooooo well...What scent is that? I just replied briefly: Tendre Jasmin by Y.R...But it’s absolutely NOTHING special!!! Secretly, I was already resisting such a comment...
Later that day, the same thing happened...I visited my mother, hugged her and she immediately said: WOWWWW, you smell so wonderful, that scent is like made for you! My father didn’t really care, but he “isn’t really into scents” ;) There was still hope...
Even later that day in the supermarket...A man behind me at the checkout asked: WOWWWW, excuse me, but you smell amazing! That perfume suits you perfectly...HELP!!!!
Since I’m curious, I tried the scent for a day at the office..
Well, you can guess what happened, right? :)
Why don’t I feel that way? Why am I resisting accepting this scent? Maybe my expectations are too high and secretly I want to smell different? Maybe I’ll figure it out! ;)

No, it's definitely not average.

maybe just too generic?

Could it also be that you unconsciously downgrade the quality of the scent because you don't want to identify with the brand (Yves Rocher = absolutely mainstream, rather cheap)? I sometimes experience that myself. It's just not exclusive.

..or maybe you just don't accept it.

We often perceive ourselves differently than how the world perceives us. **"Tendre Jasmin"** seems to match the sides of you that you don’t even notice about yourself.
