Le Labo Jasmin 17

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on neroli and bitter orange, moves through jasmine and orange blossom, and settles on vanilla, musk and amber.

• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter
• bitter orange: sour marmalade citrus, closer to peel than to juice

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
