Jasmin de Toscane

A really fresh, bright and uplifting light jasmine. I bought it in Paris and on first full wearing today in the UK, my partner called it "fresh, green shoots" and I totally agree. When I saw there was freesia it made a lot of sense, as the opening is very white floral leaning green (e.g. freesia/lily of the valley vibes), dewy spring like and natural. The jasmine kicks in but it retains the light, photorealistic sense of the opening. There is a general non--descript fruity vibe which rounds out the florals. Longevity and sillage are pretty good, and it doesn't smell like anything else I own. Fantastic for spring and early summer.

Testing my sample; this is a lovely realistic jasmine, leans sweet and bright despite the briskness of the fragrance's opening. Warms up a bit on the skin, but it feels like you're wearing a small cloud of jasmine. Warm and hot weather is best for scents like this. I'd definitely get a full bottle of this.

Fresh floral fragrance, realistic white flowers. It reminds me of my stephanotis in bloom. It’s heady, citrusy and petitgrain adds something slightly green. Amber envelops the jasmine, and it’s not a heavy masculine amber, it’s bright and feminine. I don’t get any hazelnut, only white flowers and citrus.

Non-indolic, realistic, stunning jasmine. If you like white florals, this is a must try.

At first it was an unremarkable jasmine, nice but weak, just a slightly pleasant skin scent, then it went through a middle phase I didn't care for, possibly the non-sweet hazelnut which can be a challenging note, and when that faded I thought that was the end, but then later when my skin warmed up in the afternoon it suddenly came roaring back as indolic as Boclet Cocaine, creating a scent bubble of heavy, fleshy white florals. I never got the grape soda effect others have mentioned, although I do get that from some other jasmine fragrances.
