Description
Grandiflora's Madagascan Jasmine offers a remarkably realistic interpretation of the Stephanotis floribunda, a jasmine variety cherished for its unique aroma. It opens with a vibrant burst of green tropical fruits and mango, quickly transitioning into a lush, dewy heart of Madagascan jasmine, white flowers, and green foliage. This isn't your typical heady, indolic jasmine; instead, it captures the flower as if you're burying your face in the vine on a cool spring morning. The fragrance settles into a soft, radiant base of musk, a subtle smoky accord, and roasted cacao, giving it a grounded, natural feel. Perfumer: Michel Roudnitska
