Jasmin Kusamono

This is a nice, crisp, floral scent without smelling overly sugary sweet.

Jasmin Kusamono is a breath of fresh, dewy air. It captures jasmine at its most delicate, clean and almost translucent, with a watery green quality that feels like petals floating in a Zen garden pond. There’s no heaviness or indolic edge here, just a soft and serene floral. Unfortunately, the jasmine note faded too quickly on my skin, leaving behind only a faint trace.

Great smell

Upon applying this jasmine fragrance, my nose was instantly inundated by lily-of-the-valley. The stated top notes of pink pepper and nashi pear escaped my nose, as did the middle notes of jasmine and orange blossom. It was just a linear overload of lily. The base notes of sandalwood and cedar never emerged either. Those base notes were much needed to make this fragrance interesting and remarkable. This scent reminds me of the older lady at church who douses herself with too much perfume on a hot summer day. The longevity for me was moderate to lengthy with it lasting 6-8 hours. I'd say that for the first 4 hours there was moderate sillage. IMO this is strictly a feminine scent best worn in Spring/Summer, but if you live in a sultry, hot, humid environment, this might get a bit cloying to those around you. I don't find this fragrance at all unique or niche. It's one of those "been there, done that" for the past 50 years. If you like a straight white floral scent, this is a good choice. Thank goodness for Lucky Scent that we can experiment with many fragrances. <3

I like it a lot, but don’t love it enough to get a full bottle.
