Sambac
by Ajne

Notes of citrus fruits from America andAsia, Jasmine sambac ,aromatic forest balsams and woods.
This smells very raw ! Strong stuff and lasting ! Really raw dense jasmine with a citrus blend and I am sorry to say - it has the aromatic ambience of a public toilet - indolic and not helped by the citrus. The citrus is like air freshener striving to cover up a bad toilet smell.
Not romantic ,not lush, but 'in your face' raw materials.
You will not find a romantic partner wearing this one.

I have never smelled pikake before, so I sampled this out of sheer curiosity. When I first applied it reminded me of A&D ointment a bit. Somewhere in the middle I got of whiff of hemp. As the scent develops on my skin it is beautiful, slightly tropical, fresh and balmy-herbal. Very different from anything else out there I think.
