Jasmine Orange Blossom

Natural nectar fusion of orange blossom and night blooming jasmine, the flower that is only fragrant after dark! Tahitian vanilla infused oil is a superb vehicle for the synthesis of these two indolic flowers. It adds to the creamy narcotic smell that you experience with the flowers themselves, but does not intrude. This scent is a perfect recreation of both! Not easy to do since recreating the nocturnal jasmine is difficult. Cestrum nocturnum smells very different from Sambac jasmine, the one most are familiar with. It is a little bit more wild and green. Paired here with orange blossom, the two create a tropical heady burst that spans blooms from day to night! Soft sillage and longevity as with all naturals. A sultry equatorial scent!

This scent is very accurately named. Orange blossom & jasmine are what I smell here, with the orange blossom being very dominant. I haven't tried all of Laurie Stern's fragrances, but among the ones I have tried, orange blossom and/or orange fruit seem to be the dominant notes in most of them, at least as far as *I* can smell. I suppose because she is based in California and does natural perfumery, orange essences might be some of the most readily available to her. It makes sense. This particular scent is light, sweet, and pleasant, as orange blossoms are. This house makes me wish I loved orange scents more, since I love what the Purrfumery is all about in terms of its vision, philosophy, and values. But I think that anyone interested in natural perfumery should definitely check them out, and particularly so if you like orange!
