Jasmine
Jasmin er parfumens ultimative afrodisiakum. Den er den mest intime, sexede, smukke og sensuelt indbydende af alle de store hvide blomsternoter. Jasmins smøragtige, silkebløde aroma af vanilje og opvarmet hud findes overalt i parfumeri - i både herre- og dameparfumer. Dens utrolige alsidighed er svær at matche: den kan svæve alene eller blandes kunstfærdigt ind i baggrunden for at tilføre en farlig knurren til en enkel, sart blomsterbuket. Den er også en af de mest populære noter, særligt i dameparfume, så hvis du nyder jasmins glødende sensualitet, kan du opbygge en betagende duftsamling på ingen tid.
Blomstret, frugtig, elegant, animalsk, fyldig, berusende og kraftfuld.
