Jasmine Brown Sugar
by Voluspa

As simple as it is, I find it interesting. It is a brown sugary floral that I would definitely call gourmand. It is synthetic, but not to the point of bothering me. I realize the jasmine is there because it says so in the name and because the scent does not smell like pure brown sugar, but I can’t really tell that it is jasmine that I smell. This is a sweet fragrance… a feminine flowery / sugary sweet. It has definite sillage and good longevity, but, in the end, not very exciting. It might be of interest to someone who likes gourmands.

The combination of jasmine with brown sugar should have warned me that this might not be to my taste, and sure enough, it was just awful on my skin. It smelled "schizophrenic", with a sweet semi-synthetic jasmine competing with the sweet, uber-synthetic brown sugar/browned butter accord. They went to war on my skin, and both perished in battle. Just horrendous. So much better if they had just focused on either the jasmine or even the brown sugar, but not both! Never both!

Yikes, I should have known a fragrance with "brown sugar" in the title would have been way too sweet. This scent is pretty much a blast of sweet flowers (jasmine and gardenia mostly), a hint of vanilla, and sugar. It leaves nothing to the imagination, nothing subtle; it is just very sweet and the jasmine is strong. I prefer to use it as a room spray as the scent is too overwhelming to use as a day to day fragrance.
