I really love this mixture of grandiflora jasmine and night blooming jasmine. You would expect with those notes that this would be one hot number, but the petitgrain cleans up much of the indoles and tones down the sexiness, making this a beautiful daytime option.
That is, it would be if it lasted. Unfortunately, the performance is abysmal. Within two hours it is a skin scent and so light, it is barely noticeable. Even on clothes it disappeared fast. I used almost a 2ml.spray sample just testing it out so I can imagine running through 100ml bottle in no time, which is unacceptable for the high price. That's too bad because I really love the smell of this beautiful perfume.

This is a very powdery fragrance that's more a mixed white floral than a soliflore. Powder is what hit me as soon as I applied and then white flowers appear. It's very pretty but I am really having a difficult time distinguishing the jasmine amongst all the other flowers. That heavy powder presence doesn't make it easy either since that seems to be the strongest note. It's also making this a little too oppressive to wear right now in the summer heat. Because of that, I think I'd prefer trying this again in the colder months which is the only time I like wearing powdery perfumes.

I'm pretty perplexed by this fragrance. While I never imagined this to be a seductive jasmine fragrance, especially since the theme of this line "garden flowers" and the youthful packaging suggest a springtime garden, I didn't expect it to be a fall/winter scent either. At least for me. Some people may enjoy wearing heavy powder perfumes this time of year, but I don't as I find them way too cloying. I'll put this away to try again in the Fall. Hopefully, I'll enjoy it more then than I do now.

A zesty, clean fragrance. Not sharp; just crisp and refreshing. Sweet neroli and creamy orange blossom with a touch of zingy petitgrain. The musk adds a nice rounding softness but no powder. Very simple and simply pretty. Performs more like an eau de parfum than a cologne with excellent silage and longevity. The biggest surprise is the price, which is downright cheap.

This is a pretty aquatic flora. It smells like the scent of the sea with jasmine flowers in the air. It has a very strong ocean note yet is not salty. Nor does it have Calone so often used in aquatic scents, which is fine with me since I hate that note. The watery notes are achieved with a very pretty waterlily note.
This doesn't have the greatest opening as it's a little sharp, but you need to give it time to unfold. Once it does it smells like the scent of flowers on a cool ocean breeze. Feels very crisp and refreshing. I think this will be a nice scent for the dog days of summer.

This reminds me very much of White Rose de Alix by Atkinson, and as such is also mislabeled as a Chypre when it is actually an Amber Floral. I do not think it has much to do with Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Toilette, as some like to compare it, except for the similar musk. This is mostly amber with citrus notes and a beautiful mélange of flowers, the ylang and rose being the most prominent with the osmanthus adding apricot nuances. As the base comes more to the fore, it gets a little musky but not powdery and beautifully accompanies the vanilla and a clean and green barely perceptible patchouli. Fortunately, I get no soap or shampoo.
It really is a lovely scent, but it smells so similar to White Rose de Alix, which I already own, that I don't feel the need to add a bottle of this to my wardrobe. Of course, that is subject to change should White Rose de Alix ever be discontinued, then this would make a fine substitution. In the meantime, the travel sprayer that I have of this will do.
