Do you know what you like when it comes to fragrance? I mean, really know what you like and be able to describe to someone in less than 5 sentences? Me either. It’s really hard when it comes to scents and the notes so I am trying to pay attention to the ones I see over and over in scents that I love.

When I created my own a while back, I’m surprised that jasmine was not one of the notes inside of the ones I made as I really love the smell of it. If you learn anything from this post, from what I’ve gathered, the jasmine note tends to be nestled in the middle of a scent. Will you be trying any of these out in the near future?

BVLGARI Mon Jasmine Noir eau de parfum ($80/1.7oz, $105/2.5oz @ kohls.com) – look for citruses and lily of the valley as the top notes that dry down to a musk/patchouli/Virginia cedar/Nougat base with the aforementioned jasmine resting in the middle.

I’m trying to decide if I’m a fragrance push over, in that, it seems like I am loving a lot of different fragrances that have come out this year. Well actually, let me rethink that, I didn’t like the new Chanel No. 5 scent. It smells like dish detergent on me! Not the usual fan of the powdery fragrances, but I am really loving this KENZO fragrance. FLOWER BY KENZO Eau de Parfum Spray ($85/3.3oz @ bloomingdales.com) is a floral notes like violet and rose mixed with white musk and vanilla. An unual mixture to be called a floriental but it is and it has quite a following. It’s a little heavy so I recommend this one for eves.
