   Blind buy years ago. Didn’t like it at all even though I adore jasmine (more Sambac because it’s is green) but this here it’s not green at all. Overripe jasmine with the pee pee scent of basil. Tried it today again – like it now much more. Maybe because it’s still wintery cold outside and the honeyed warmth of the fading jasmine gives me a hug.

   This is how the Lido di Venezia smelled in late May.
   Yes, this perfume is supposed to be late autumn jasmine, anyhow, when I came pack from Venezia, I searched for the scent and found it in this bottle.
   Absolutely dazzling!
   I guess this bottle is more a souvenir to me, less a perfume to be worn on a daily basis because it IS HEAVY.
   Lets call it a piece of art. A creation, people like search for. This is something I would expect from the maison Serge Lutens. Every time I expect something from Serge Lutes, I get it. In my opinion this is what puts Lutens above most other maisons.

   I have wanted to smell Diptyque’s Essenses Insensees 2015 edition since I read it was an intoxicatingly sweet jasmine/white floral (which is right up my street). Yes it’s very similar to Lush’s ‘Lust’ (but much more expensive). But beware, there’s also a urine smell to it. It’s a crazy, strong, cat-piss note that stings your eyes with a stale ammonia style tang. Why is it there?! It ruins it. Stick to Lush’s ‘Lust’ as there’s no pee-pee note in there.

   Straight up, intense white floral for me. The Jasmine is front and center with little room for anything else, on me. I feel like I smell like my great grandmother’s funeral, but not in a bad way. It is nicely done, but too strong for me.

   Heady, intensely sweet floral opening. An almost overwhelming fruity, sugary jasmine with notes of pear. Sweet tea – no milk, just straight up sugared tea. Looking at the notes it’s surprisingly simple. I can’t really pick out the basil but there’s a faint soapiness that I attribute to the orange flower. A true jasmine fragrance that’s only accentuated by the accompanying notes, except sweeter than any jasmine I’ve smelled. Opulent, sensually feminine but still manages to be pure – there’s nothing dirty or skanky here. Doesn’t read as a nighttime fragrance despite the jasmine; like sitting in a shaded jasmine bower in the tropics. Dries out touch as it goes on and the orange blossom moves a bit more to the front and sillage reduces pretty dramatically (around the 2 hour mark) but still lovely. A beautifully rich, true to life jasmine fragrance.

   that’s a sumptuous soliflore. An autumn jasmine, a flower who dies slowly in is bed of honey. Simply the best jasmine soliflore I’ve smelled until now.

   Sweet, natural jasmine. Very realistic, yet nicely rounded for a soliflore.

   Drat! All I get is shampoo and something vaguely floral. Probably some kind of white musk is the culprit. Either my nose or my skin often reacts badly to those.

   I love this perfume. It’s a fabulous combination of white floral and green. I bought a backup bottle. Thinking of getting a third just because it’s LE. It lasts a long time. I’m not crazy about the spray mechanism, minor detail but I don’t feel it sprays well.

    Jasmin…incredibly natural capture! Sweet intoxicating soliflore dripping in nectar and so very honeyed! Wow, so lush and real. For the true Jasmine lover.

    After reading the press release description, as a jasmine lover, untested, I purchased a full bottle. It arrived today and my first impressions are: Opulent, Feminine, Elegant, Enthralling, Natural smelling. The superior quality jasmine, orange blossom & basil notes are all prominent, creating a soapy, cream accord. The flacon is beautiful heavy glass and most elegant. It won’t be stored in my fragrance wardrobe cabinet, but rather on my dressing table. I’d consider this a fall/winter evening fragrance, perfect for special occasions, but the sillage is such it can be worn in any season. Because I have nothing like it in my collection, I’m quite pleased with my blind purchase.
    Epilogue: Think, Marlene Dietrich, but I can easily see Alison Goldfrapp wearing Essences Insensées 2015! An hour later – the sweet strawberry jam accord has arrived & smells very sexy. Now, it has dried down to a skin scent that wafts regally long after you thought it had fully dissipated.
    Update: After wearing this for a week, I feel there’s nothing old fashioned about this fragrance, as it’s a modern and unique take on jasmine. Very natural smelling, stunningly beautiful, and full bottle worthy. For jasmine lovers, this is an immediate must have!

    I tried this yesterday at Nordstrom. Very strong and lush; thick and dense. Too weighty to be refreshing. The orange blossom was ahead of the jasmine on me by quite a bit. The basil prominent, and smelled like a mix of fresh and dried basil. The bottle was beautiful and heavy.

    It would have to be. It’s the “Wild Essences of 2015”
