Wild Jasmine

I love this! Ordered a bottle off ebay on a whim. Jasmine is my favourite smell and I've been looking for a jasmine-forward fragrance I really like for ages. This is perfect! It's very realistic to the smell of the jasmine flower, with a warm carnal undertone that I adore. I guess it's just jasmine but I would've believed it if the notes had had a tiny bit of amber or some incense in there as well! On me it's more of a skin scent, but it lasts all day & perfumes generally don't project that well for me anyway. I don't find it soapy or green. Great take on jasmine, not the more banana/fruity jasmine or overly watered down clean jasmine you get in a lot of modern perfumes. Smells really gorgeous & timeless.

My friend Cat picked up a perfectly preserved bottle, still full, in its original packaging, and it smells lovely--truth in advertising, a jasmine soliflore, just what the title promises. Despite the "wild" part of the name, this jasmine isn't remotely indolic; it's more like the kind of jasmine that you would smell in a nice soap or lotion, not so much night-blooming jasmine on the vine. It projects quite well for a cologne, but I find that to be true of most of my vintage Avon colognes, perhaps owing to concentration over time, perhaps just another harbinger of the general dissolution of quality in mainstream consumer goods.

I really like this. Normally i'm not that fond of Jasmine bit this one i like very much. Longtivity and projection are above moderate and it's quite strong for this oldie.

i found a partial splash bottle at a thrift store. it's a pretty indolic jasmine that smells fairly realistic. i sense a hint of green from the jasmine leaf. very pretty for summer.

I'm a big lover of indolic, humid, narcotic jasmine, so I was excited to try this based on the reviews. I bought the 1.5 oz spray in the silvery box. It is a decent sambac jasmine scent but sadly it's also infused with that cheap-smelling Avon accord that was often used in Avon perfumes from the late 1960s to the '80s. I agree with the reviewer below who notes an incense (frankincense) warmth in the basenotes. That cozy, incense-y drydown is my favorite part of the whole thing - the only part I truly enjoy because the "Avon-ade" accord has died away by this point. The box is really pretty.
