Which Should You Buy?
Sarrasins isn't just a jasmine; it's a divisive, dark floral masterpiece. You'll either swoon at its 'howling velvet' indoles and animalic depth or recoil from what some call 'stable boy' musk and 'poo smell'. This is art, and like all true art, it's not for everyone.
This one's a divisive floral with a strong powdery violet heart. Fans will adore its romantic charm, but beware of a potential 'screechy' opening if your nose isn't on board. A real love-it-or-hate-it affair, so a blind buy is risky unless you're a devout violet enthusiast.
