Moroccan Jasmine, Gardenia, and Mallow

Recommended Posts

this starts with an indolic jasmine, then i get a hint of mallow seconds later. gardenia is in the background with the mallow but i find jasmine to be the strongest note on my skin. it gets less indolic over time, but that element is still there. jasmine with a creamy softness.

I suspect that this is going to be one of those jasmine notes that is divisive. It works well on my skin, bringing to mind the sweet richness of jasmine slowly drying in the sun.

 

The gardenia brings a subtle note of sweet freshness that makes the flowers smell more alive. The mallow is a sweet earthy and herbal note that does remind me just a touch of homemade marshmallows I've occasionally encountered at farmers markets.

 

Overall, I like this, but I might be experimenting with layering in spices or citrus (or both) for a more complex scent.

Better late than never to the party...?

I made myself give this one a chance despite the indolic jasmine sniff right from the bottle... It is much more pleasant (way less indolic) on the wear down with the gardenia and mallow coming out more, too. Overall this is a creamy, softly sweetened, white floral that's not too heady (still more than I care for). If you enjoy jasmine and simpler blends, you'll like this.

 

I have no strong feelings about this menage a trois, but boy, it wears for a good couple of hours.
