ياسمين سامباك

I've tried a lot of jasmine scents that go syrupy or soapy, but this one stays expressive without turning heavy. It wears close for the first hour, then opens into something richer and a little indolic, which is exactly what I wanted from a true sambac.

I've worn a lot of jasmine perfumes and this one actually smells like the real flower instead of soap. It's rich and a little indolic at first, then softens into something warm and skin-like after an hour. Easily the most expressive floral in my collection right now.

The jasmine here is realistic and clearly well-made, but it leans sharp and almost green on my skin instead of the soft floral I was hoping for. Lasts about four hours before fading, which feels short for the price.
