Jasmine

I'm trying to make better friends with jasmine. I have problems with a lot of perfumes turning to soap on my skin and I've just realised that the common note in all of them is jasmine. For a while I was convinced it must be what did it and thought I couldn't wear it at all - which is tricky considering it's practically ubiquitous in perfume. But of course, there are jasmines I can wear fine, so maybe it comes down to what type is used and whether synthetics are involved or not? (if anyone has any ideas about this, please message me and let me know!) So, I figured jasmine soliflore is the way to go, one at a time. I ordered a sample of this and warily dabbed a little on my wrist, waiting for either soap or something overly indolic to happen. To my delight, it was all lovely. So lovely I kind of want to apologise to jasmine for thinking badly of it. This is a slightly sweet, fleshy jasmine. There's the animalic touch that's often present with this note, but it's not overwhelming - it's enough to take this from pretty to sexy, but not so much that it becomes difficult to wear. The idoles are kept well at bay. This never gets *that* scent (you know the one I mean) at all. It's womanly and sexy, but not in your face about it. Easily suitable for pretty much any occasion/season. Jasmine, I think me and you are going to start something up again. Moderate sillage, amazing longevity.
