Jasmine Sambac

I was looking for a fragrance that most resembles the Flying Fox from the Lush. I bought samples of this one, Yves Rocher Tendre Jasmin (very dissappointing)and Floris Night Scented Jasmine (also not my thing). I must say i love this fragrance, the Jasmine is definitly the overtone. It is a sexy sweet Jasmine, the only thing i am missing is a little bit more honey and unfortunatly the scent doesn' t stay long, after 1,5 hour i still detect the scent, but only if i actually put my nose really close to my wrist. I also think you have to spray a lot to actually smell the scent on you without actually putting your nose close to where you sprayed. So overall i love the scent, but i think the sillage is a little dissappointing.

I ordered it on a british online shop, unsniffed , unexpensive. I was afraid, before I 've got it, to get too strong jasmine straight in my face, and especially when here was no other notes named... What I get it , I realized it's is jasmine only, but really nice one, softened with citruses; if someone doesn't like creamy sourness in base notes, I don't recommend it. It vanishes in two hours but due to price I don't care as I can re-apply it often in a day. I like it in summer. It reminds me to summer evenings in Tunisia, Egypt when an air is full of magic jasmin scent .

A long forgotten fragrance, now discontinued (not sure if the house still exists). It is a very classical edition of a pure Jasmine soliflower. I love this flower, and its olfactive power here is very well represented. Here we have a very intense smelling variety of Jasmine Sambac. Very linear, has a lovely sillage, and a very good lasting power. I cannot claim it is a super unique fragrance as the note is very common in perfumery. But may you find it... worth trying. The bottle is gorgeous.

I'd say that this is a very simple jasmine blend, but still very nice, and exactly what I was looking for. Uncluttered with too many distracting notes, not sugared or spiced or dirty/indolic, just kinda clean, bright, and natural. Lasting power was average for me... I couldn't smell it after 1.5- 2 hrs, but maybe other people could? I spray it in my hair and on my chest. At any rate, it's never overpowering. I am in the US and had to purchase it from a British perfume site, but it was still under $25 including shipping! I thought the bottle was boring from the picture, but really like it in person.

This perfume along with the other three from the same line was first launched in London, so luckily I had a chance to take a first sniff. According to Matthew Williamson himself, each fragrance from this line is inspired by a place in the world, yet this one, inspired by Ibiza - a fascinating Mediterranean island. The bottle for this one is the green one. Jasmine is the dominating note in this, with a faintly zesty taste of citrus. It is just like having a refreshing and light-hearted holiday at Ibiza, perfect for summer time.
