SEX & JASMINE

I’m obsessed with fragrances, and years ago, my signature scent was BVLGARI Jasmine Noir, way back before I began obsessing over healthy lifestyle and clean perfume. This one is so very close to my old favorite, with the deep and sophisticated Jasmine that’s very “noir”, quite spicy and definitely not sugary and feminine. I got it as part of the sample set and immediately discarded it as a “no”. But I came back to it a couple of days ago and realised how similar it is to my old perfume crush, sultry and deep and at the same time clean ingredients. I’m going to have to purchase the bigger bottle. It is exquisite.

It is sex in a bottle. Romantic and primal. Threw me off first time I ordered the sample , fast forward six months , found that sample and immediately ordered the full bottle.

This is a fragrance I will never be without! Its a woody salty humid jasmine. The ambergris is salty and creamy and not anamalic in the least. The geranium lends just the slightest sweetness and greeness to this. Projection and longevity is outstanding. Only a spray or two is needed. An absolutely stunning fragrance!

I purchased a sample of this fragrance, and I was impressed by the thoughtful presentation. The samples arrived complete with a handwritten note from the creator and individual scent cards for each fragrance—a true A+ for attention to detail.

The scent has a a slight vintage vibe imo, likely due to the ambergris note, while the jasmine shines beautifully. In the current cold weather, the sandalwood and patchouli are bit more subdued, giving way to a salty, white floral aroma with the slightest hint of green, likely from the geranium. However, when indoors or near a fire, those warmer notes come alive, blending seamlessly with the others. The craftsmanship in this fragrance is evident, with each note harmoniously contributing to the overall experience.

After a few hours, the fragrance settles into a woody, salty, humid jasmine dry-down that is absolutely stunning. A beautifully balanced creation, without a doubt. Honestly one of my absolute favorites of all time!

It’s so sexy and subtle and a really well blended fragrance.
