Night Jasmine & Lotus Blossom

Night Jasmine & Lotus Blossom is one of the first perfumes Juliet Rose made, and it spent years as a big seller in Covent Garden before it moved online. The idea is simple: a bright, romantic floral for day or night. It opens on night-blooming jasmine and lotus flower with a little lily. The heart stays floral, with jasmine grandiflorum, gardenia and tuberose, and the base is cedarwood, sandalwood and benzoin, soft and woody rather than heavy. The two brand pages list the notes a little differently, but they agree on the jasmine, lotus and tuberose character. Wearers call it a classic. One buyer reports that it is very strong and warns against spraying it just before leaving the house, or you will smell of jasmine extract. The maker says it lasts at least twelve hours, and buyers use phrases such as very long lasting; a fragrance database lists projection and longevity as above average. Another buyer says it is the scent that everyone asks about. It suits spring and summer days best and works for evenings too, in a light hand. The official page describes good sillage and excellent staying power, and says it leans feminine. It sits next to other lush indie white florals on the shelf, made by hand at home rather than a mass-market jasmine, and it is a good first sample from the house for anyone who likes jasmine, tuberose and lotus.
