Jasmine Neroli

After trying a number of 7 Virtues fragrances and reading the ingredients list for each one, I have realized that they seem to be following a basic formula where they choose one single essential oil to be the main note of the fragrance and then add a variety of botanically-derived processed scents (such as coumarin, eugenol, geraniol, linalool, etc.) to add some complexity and depth and strength to the scent. So it is making a little more sense to me how all of their fragrances can be distinct from one another and yet at a core level be quite similar. I really like all of the ones that I have tried so far, enough to consider buying them. In this case, I especially do like real jasmine essential oil and this is a very nice version of it, and I think this is a scent that I would wear often if I obtain a full bottle of it. (Note that it does not smell like dryer sheets or anything artificial at all to me - this is entirely different and quite lovely.) In addition, one little spray will last for several hours for me, with the jasmine being prominent for most of that time. I wouldn't want it to be any stronger in terms of sillage, since some people object even to natural fragrances. The more I wear this one, the more I like it.

I spent a long time searching for my perfect wedding perfume, and the moment I smelled this, I knew it was it. I got a sample from Sephora, and the more I sniffed it, the more I knew this would compliment the (all vintage) silk dress, rabbit fur stole and leather gloves I wore for my winter wedding. I sprayed it on me directly on my neck and wrists, and onto my veil, and it somehow blended so beautifully with the scent of the tulle, creating a fragrant cloud that my fellow fragrancephile Maid of Honor said she couldn't stop sniffing from her spot in the ceremony :) And of course my husband said I smelled really lovely. It really does have a soft, clean, comforting, even almost a bit yummy? element to it despite being very white floral. Almost like something you would imagine a sweet, beautiful mother or a caring nurse to wear. Now I own a large bottle so that I can bring back memories of that beautiful day for both of us any time. Highly recommend as a wedding fragrance. I love that it's also a non-toxic scent, so I wear it lightly in the office without too much fear of offending noses.

I got a 7 virtues tester set from sephora. This one and the rose amber I immediately bought travel rollerballs of. I love rose and jasmine unfortunately my allergies do not. It's very rare for me to find floral scents I can actually tolerate. And both the jasmine neroli and rose amber are perfect true to life florals without being too strong or perfumey or synthetic smelling or too old lady headache inducing. I smell Janine and Neroli and I love this so much. Very clean fragrances, they remind me of perfume oils instead of eau de parfums.

This is by far my personal fav out of all the entire 7 Virtues collection. It has such a realistic natural scent of Jasmine without smelling synthetic. Absolutely gorgeous, nothing compares. All other perfumes currently on the market are either too sweet or lasting power is weak. Definitely worth to check out.

This fragrance is what I think of when someone asks for a scent representing the “coquette” aesthetic. Powdery, sweet, white floral, very girly.
