What am I actually looking for .... ?!
Must be the first question you ask yourself when you want to buy fragrances again.
Hence my answer to this topic - memories and feelings. I had already dealt with the whole "trauma" sufficiently in my review of Marzocco Eau de Parfum ;)
Now to the fragrance itself - what does it smell like?
Quite "one-dimensional" is a fair answer.
Nevertheless, it is a complex beauty and almost unbeatable in its intention. Rarely have I smelled a more realistic jasmine fragrance. Other reviews before me say that the fragrance is not "perfumey" enough for them and I completely agree. If you want a highly complex, fancy fragrance, you've come to the wrong place.
But if you are looking for a delicate orange blossom that, together with a slightly sweet, sour and earthy pomegranate, opens the door to an Arabian jasmine garden, you are in the right place. The scent of jasmine is difficult to describe, but it is easy to imagine - Tunisia in late spring after a light shower in the morning and the jasmine spreads its scent on every roadside - paradise or whatever everyone wants to call it :)
Now a serious description:
Neroli opens the experience together with a very delicately citrusy bergamot. Heliotrope and jasmine quickly take over. To prevent this from getting out of hand, a fresh pomegranate regulates the course of the sea of flowers with a few splashes of light corrections. It is more a slight acidity and above all the "earthiness" of a pomegranate that supports this. After a good 30 minutes, you walk along a hedge of yasmine for several hours - white flowers with a slight soapiness but definitely absolutely clean and not animalic - not at all.
Perhaps Granada can be seen as the more cultivated brother of Orange Flamingo. Less fresh wash due to the lack of lily of the valley and a pleasant longevity and, above all, sillage ;)
Should definitely be tried if you value floral and above all realistic fragrances.
Bye bye.
