A good red wine, candles, strong cheese, and Q Perfume = Match!!!!

Absolutely delicious, cozy. I feel like I'm already spraying it in front of the fireplace with my loved one, surrounded by candles and good red wine. And it fulfills that expectation 200%.

I made an impulse purchase with this perfume. Smelled it, fell in love, bought it. And I've been wearing it daily-multiple times. Multiple is unfortunately a "key-word" here.

I still find it pretty brilliant after over a week. But the price/performance ratio is not in proportion.

It is fascinating, wonderful, and profound. It unfolds from candied cherry and cotton candy to vanilla, amber, and skin-close powder.

But what I really find unfortunate is that the longevity and price are not in proportion. Right off the bat, I can think of 3 comparable Tom Fords that also pack a punch and last…

I still don't know how or if I will repurchase it when the 30ml runs out, which will probably be quite soon-because I use it 2-3 times a day since it is so delicious.

…is my new fragrance

And it is absolutely underrepresented here, I don't understand why.

I've had it for about a week now, and I haven't been able to wear anything else since.

At first, it is elegantly fresh, not quite ordinary but also not an outlier. Over time, it becomes slightly gourmand, but without a powdery sweetness, then fruity spice comes through. Everything is always fine and flattering. And yes, in between, there is a very noticeable similarity to Santal Blush.

It is great to wear in warmth and during the day, but I also love it in the evening with a sweater and scarf while enjoying a white wine spritzer. In the office, it is not intrusive but refines the atmosphere in a warm and welcoming way.

Even after 24 hours, it is still close to the skin. On textiles, it lasts even longer… I am simply thrilled and totally smitten with this gem. A fantastic price/performance ratio leaves me with no wishes unfulfilled.

It is currently 0:18 AM in August, we are sitting on the balcony watching stars and shooting stars while I sniff my latest conquest.

About 2 weeks ago, we were spontaneous and briefly in Barcelona, visiting family - quite crowded - quite exhausting - but also emotional and overall beautiful.
Just before the flight home, in Duty Free, I walked through the aisles and fragrances as usual, stopped briefly and without expectations at JM and had it in my nose - Mimosa & Cardamom. Oh wow.

I bought it, spontaneous and immediately. My husband was somewhere else at that moment, he wasn't asked for his opinion this time - I was uncompromisingly enchanted.

Even after nearly 2 weeks of continuous wear, I still love the scent: this spontaneous freshness when spraying and the gentle spiciness, the subsequent powderiness, the beautiful mood this fragrance gives me - perhaps a bit like a special vacation, a mix of relaxation and exciting curiosity.

And yessssss - I usually wear heavy hitters like Tom Ford's Noir or Tobacco Vanille, sometimes Guerlain as well…

But this Cardamom dream, which later develops into such a wonderfully warm blend of tonka bean and sandalwood - becoming powdery…. I am in love and completely enchanted by this Cardamom - Tonka - dream?

My only bittersweet note is that I have to reapply it 3 times a day, because the longevity is truly modest. At this price, it becomes an expensive pleasure over time? But for now, I am still willing to bear this consequence.
Even in winter, under completely different circumstances, I can imagine it as a wonderful companion for cozy evenings by the fireplace with a nice book.

My husband finds it (compared to my other fragrances) quite herbaceous and rather spicy, but he is used to something completely different from me?

Right now, I'm not feeling so well. Breakup... You know how it is...
My stomach and my nerves are frayed, even my favorite scents aren't really reaching me at the moment. They are not the usual balm for my soul.

Yesterday, I went to the perfume shop... just to take a look, maybe there’s a little something with healing properties. Who knows.

So I wandered through the aisles, bored and frustrated. Nothing smelled good, a homogeneous mush, cheap, mainstream - dreadful....

Then I stood in front of the display, the shop-in-shop...
ugh, Jo Malone, I don’t like it. The scent I have is nice at first but doesn’t last... Expensive, but short-lived pleasure, grumble, grumble, grumble.
But as it goes, I took a quick sniff, yes... quite nice but not blowing me away, quite nice, yes, yes.... and THEN - whammmmmmm. WHAT IS THAT????

At first, the calming lavender that dances around me, caressing and wrapping me in a fine mist. A little later, the mysterious myrrh invites you to play and brings friendlier thoughts. The tonka, powdery, sweet, and warm perfectly complements the composition along with the vanilla. Light-hearted and sniffing at my wrist, I head home...

More than 8 hours later, while brushing my teeth... what smells so good? Wowwwww - Jo, is that you? Still? So determined and self-assured, even detectable despite the toothpaste? Wow.
Now 14 hours have passed. I'm sitting in the office. I've casually washed my hands at least 5 times, and when I sniff my wrist, I can still perceive the powdery warm vanilla that makes me smile and radiates warmth.

A new love is like a new life.... he will be my new one, this Jo! Right after work today, I will pick him up and free him from the way too small box. Together we are free.

It makes a powerful entrance, it can seem a bit stuffy at first, but only for a very short moment, I promise, because soon it becomes silky, very precise, and the jasmine takes over in a pure and clear way. It is surrounded and enhanced by cardamom and gentle bergamot. It is floral-spicy, but not sweet. It is different, it is never intrusive but noticeable. It comes off a bit sultry, sometimes even mysterious. Unfortunately, I am not professional enough to pinpoint which characteristic belongs to which ingredient.

To put it visually. With Jasmine Rouge, I am never over- or underdressed. I always enjoy wearing this scent. On the home sofa, in the yuppie bar, or the small smoky jazz dive next door. Even during yoga, it doesn’t annoy me - and that surprises me almost myself. If you like jasmine, you should definitely give it a try.

For me, there is nothing more beautiful than going to bed at night and still smelling the remnants from the last evening on the pillow, and in the morning putting on the scarf, coat, or whatever, and inhaling the scent remnants deeeply before I spray it on again. For me, personally, it gives me courage, strength, relaxation, and identity. Since I have embraced Jasmine Rouge, I actually don’t need any other fragrances anymore! Even my beloved classics I hardly use anymore. I feel like Jasmine Rouge - Thank you, Tom!
