Bvlgari Jasmin Noir L’Essence Eau de Parfum Spray 50ml – £62.00

I’ve tried the various incarnations of Bvlgari’s Jasmin Noir as well as a whole host of other Jasmine specific fragrances – some indolic, some light and refreshing but none have really captured me in the way Marc Jacobs Blush did.  Blush has sadly been discontinued and having tried this new Bvlgari adaptation of a classic single note fragrance – I’m fairly sure this is my replacement for Blush.  It’s simplicity is charming and there’s plenty of warmth in the base notes.  Better than the original in my opinion.

Top Notes: Green Sap, Gardenia Petals

Heart Notes: Sambac Jasmine Absolute, Satiny Almond

Base Notes: Precious Wood, Liquorice, Tonka Bean Absolute

Jane Packer Red Roses, Black Violet & Cyclamen Eau de Parfum – £45

Jane Packer Red Roses, Black Violet & Cyclamen Eau de Parfum 50ml. An explosion of fresh notes on a delicately warm heart composed of sensual Red Roses and Black Violet. This is a sophisticated fragrance with delicate spices which delights the senses. The warm after application radiates sensuality and gives a mysterious oriental feeling.
