White-green sea of flowers...
Ah, how beautiful it is..
I recently stumbled upon this little treasure and can't believe it's rated so poorly here and hasn't been commented on at all. That needs to change, here we go:
A few days ago, when I opened the office door, a scent wafted towards me (subtle, but present) that immediately captivated me. Like the siren's call: sweet and lovely and light and hypnotic. So, I first sniffed my way through all the female colleagues and then discovered it on an Egyptian colleague. (And the now-sniffing colleagues trailed behind me like a pack of bloodhounds on the scent... ;) )
This perfume oil comes in a simple mini glass bottle with a roller for better dosing and is sold, among other places, in mosques. It's almost ridiculously cheap, yet still an extremely fine, delicious thing.
The dear Jasmine here is not a heavy, cloyingly sweet thing (at least that’s how she usually presents herself to me and often gives me headaches), but a very light, green, clear nymph that immediately sends images of flower meadows, spring air, sunshine, and pure, radiant nature to my mind’s eye. Not the usual ripe, full version, but the youthful one.
The sillage is definitely there (even in the open-plan office), but by no means overwhelming. It rather makes the surprised nose constantly search for an open window and scratch its head in surprise, wondering if spring has suddenly burst forth, with all its splendor and freshness.
There isn’t really a scent development; over the hours (yes, the lovely one stays and stays and stays), it just becomes a bit quieter and warmer and blends with the surroundings (I suspect there's a clean musk softening the loud opening).
Due to this straightforwardness, I can also imagine the oil being great for layering if this pure floral quality ever feels too much or too simple.
This fresh Jasmine is recommended to anyone looking for a fine spring scent, who loves white flowers and green-green-green, or simply wants to be surprised that Arabic fragrances can also be quite different from being heavy and spicy.
P.S.: The only way I can explain the previous poor ratings is perhaps due to skin chemistry. On my colleague, it "developed" into a cloyingly sweet chewing gum.
