Yours

Yours doesn’t quite live up to its name — instead of staying close and personal, it floats outward, creating a fragrant cloud that reaches out to everyone nearby, eager to embrace and enchant. It’s a solid example of what I call a “heavy” jasmine scent — the kind where jasmine feels so dense, it’s as if you’ve stepped right into the middle of a blooming bush. This kind of perfume needs air to truly shine; without space, it can feel suffocating. Definitely not one for cramped offices or sweltering summer days — Yours reveals its best self in the evening, when the heat has settled and a soft breeze carries your trail past strangers on the street. I don’t wear this one close to my nose — there’s a sharp note in it (sandalwood? amber?) that’s too loud when sniffed up close. So I apply it to areas like the backs of my hands or the inner elbows — places where it can breathe a little. The bottle deserves special mention — it’s beautifully done, especially for the price. A respectable white floral — 6/10.
