Jasmine Wisp

How it Smells

Jasmine Wisp bursts open with an intense wave of candied passionfruit, like a sticky syrup spilled on sun-baked asphalt. The peach note leans artificial, reminiscent of those peach-flavored gummy rings from childhood. The pear is more of a supporting character, adding a touch of generic sweetness. The heart is where this diverges. The lily-of-the-valley is surprisingly prominent, adding a soapy, almost medicinal edge not present in the inspiration. The drydown brings a creamy musk that, thankfully, softens the shrill opening. The sandalwood is understated, while the vanilla adds a subtle gourmand touch, like warm custard. Overall, it lacks the velvety smoothness of Kirke and has a slightly harsh, synthetic quality.

Is it Worth It?

Jasmine Wisp is a statement scent, best reserved for situations where you want to be noticed. I'd recommend it for outdoor gatherings in cooler weather, a night at a club, or any occasion where a bold, fruity aroma is appropriate. Just be mindful of the opening, as it can be overpowering in enclosed spaces. Not safe for the office or intimate dinners.

Longevity & Projection

This fragrance sticks around. I got about 8 hours of noticeable scent on skin, and it lingered on clothing even longer. The projection is initially nuclear, filling a room easily within the first two hours, then gradually settling to about an arm's length. I wore it during a day of errands and it definitely announced my presence everywhere I went.
