Summer Romance in a Tropical Paradise - Amazing Grace Jasmine
I love the original Amazing Grace! When I saw that there are some new scents, such as AG Bergamot, AG Jasmine, and some more, I got very excited. I went to Sephora, and they had a tester of the AG Bergamot. I actually was not that fond of the Bergamot version, personally. The AG Bergamot had a nice dry down, but when I first put it on, it wasn't my faorite scent. I couldn't find a local version of the AG Jasmine, so I ordered these samples on ebay.
To preface this review, I love Jasmine Sambac essential oil, and haven't found a perfume that I like. I do not care for Jasmine Grandiflorium, which is the one usually used in perfumes. It is heavy and has a smell to me almost of decay. So when I saw that Amazing Grace had a Jasmine scent, knowing their normally light touch with scent, I had to try it!
I LOVE this AG Jasmine scent! It is light and pretty, and you can smell the Jasmine very well! Jasmine and Light are usually not used in the same sentence, but Philosophy has done a great job on this scent! It is a relatively light scent, compared to most Jasmine oils and scents. It has the sweet undertones of Jasmine, and expands into a mixture of light floral and rich tropical, but still kept very light!
It doesn't last a really long time on me, but sometimes it is still perceived by others after our own nose has accomodated to the scent. I was wearing my Amazing Grace one day at the Farmer's Market, and I could no longer smell it, and someone else who I was talking to noticed it when the wind blew their way. So you never know! Keep a sample or small spray in your purse to refresh if needed.
I think those who usually don't like the heavy Jasmine scents might see if this one could win them over! It is the smell of Summer Nights and Romance in a Tropical Paradise!
