The scent of the winds beyond the wall: bluebonnet, passion flower, freesia, jasmine tea, mint, thyme, and redcurrant.

 

Wet: sharp and green, almost herbal or lavender smelling. As it dries, the flowers and currant and tea peek out; this stage is truly beautiful, ethereal and lightly sweet. It gets a bit dusty after that, and fades quickly. Would definitely be one to require repeated slathering to be noticeable by others, I think.

First impression on the skin: the passion flower and freesia are loud to start this one out, not bad but not quite what I was expecting.

 

After a few minutes: the jasmine came out more as it dried down (yay!), and there's a touch of berrylike fruitiness that must be from the redcurrant, though it's not distinguishable as that specifically. The freezia is still one of the dominant notes for sure though. Not getting much of the mint at all, and I was curious to see if that would show up more in the next bit because I think that would be a good element

 

Once it settled: it developed a touch of something herbal, probably from the mint and thyme and possibly a little bit of the tea note, but I think that it is just balancing very much towards the floral (especially freesia and jasmine with a little bit of the passion flower lingering that was so strong at the start) on me. I like it, but it remains not My Perfect Jasmine scent that I am seeking.
