Jasmin Antique by Rogue
Chanel Sycamore
We've got jasmin all over our yard at home - love it. And as it pertains to shaving and fragrances, I totally dig Mystic Water Jasmine shaving soap. So when Rogue launched this Jasmin Antique, I was certainly interested, so ordered a sample from them. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work at all for me. To say that the sample I had was an indolic nightmare would be an understatement. I wonder if the sample I received had "turned". Oy!
My guess is the sample you had was fine.
Based on comments from a thread on Basenotes, there is a relatively small segment of folks that appear very sensitive to the indolic aspect of the jasmine used in the composition, and you appear to be one who has that indolic sensitivity. I am not very much into indoles myself, but luckily only get a slight indolic aspect, which for me is the perfect amount. Folks like yourself that instead smell indoles to the extreme near unanimously dislike the perfume (and I can easily see why, because if I smelled what you do, I would too). Too bad sensitivity to the indoles obscures the unbelievable subtle nuances to this reference jasmine soliflore, as the perfume is one of the two best I have ever sniffed outright (out of thousands).
