ShadowEtienne Report post Posted May 25 19 hours ago, Assimbya said: I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a creamier jasmine scent! It's a relatively recent LE, so not currently directly available, but possibly pretty findable on forum sales. If the other notes in The Hound and the Milk White Doe sound good to you, I did find the jasmine to blend really well into the creaminess of the coconut in it. The notes are: golden sandalwood and liquidambar, cardamom, coconut milk, jasmine sambac, white petal rosewater, and labdanum. To me, the jasmine is a pretty wonderful and important element to the scent, but it's certainly not a pure jasmine scent. I feel like I might have some other thoughts that aren't coming to mind right now. Jasmine is a note that I really like, so I might circle back with another few thoughts later though.

Hound is a great suggestion for this. My test lately for whether something counts as a true "jasmine" scent is whether my sweetie Ashton calls it out -- he really dislikes jasmine. And this was definitely one that he preferred me not to wear around him TOMIE doesn't bother him, as the jasmine is very smoothly blended into the floral aspect of the scent. Same with Caligari A-Go-Go, which has a woozy jasmine component that I find nice and strong and nocturnal, but I think the other notes (cotton blossom, dirt, petitgrain, tobacco) throw him off the track.

Assimbya Report post Posted May 27 Thank you so much @ShadowEtienne and @Failmingo for these very thoughtful suggestions! Reading reviews, The Hound and the Milk sounds so beautiful - I tend to get scared off by coconut notes maybe because of sunscreen/lotion associations, but that's really not fair of me and this sounds like a gorgeous blend! I'll keep an eye out for it on the forum. What a trial to have a beloved who cannot stand jasmine scents! My sympathies with that one. I've heard so many wonderful things about Tomie that it may be time to try it even if it isn't a "true" jasmine! These are both wonderful places to start, I appreciate you both. I may also try imps of Delight and Nyx, which are both GCs which haven't yet crossed my path to this point. I love that a lot of these also have rose - one of my recent jasmine experiences was finding a stunning bush of it beside an equally beautiful pink rosebush, and I wanted to remember the experience of those two scents together forever.
