Hey, I'm for layering, but even that one sounded sacrilegious, not to mention cringe inducing...but somehow, the person wearing it carried it off. <br /><br />Besides, you gave me a back door...for one of your combinations, you put one on each arm...given that I've done a "harmonica" of scent (next to each other, riff and huff), methinks I can handle that approach if I'm askeered of the full on layering, LOL.<br /><br />And yes, I can see how jasmine is like butter in cooking...useful in so many ways, not just a flavor on its own...(I'm struggling to find a better cooking analogy, but think it's best if I just let this one fly...)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28037586.post-77565078048043355332010-08-03T15:25:31.041-04:002010-08-03T15:25:31.041-04:00SS -- I have read that 80% figure in relation to j...SS -- I have read that 80% figure in relation to jasmine a number of times from different sources but they were media sources, so perhaps it's not a statistical solid fact but I get the picture. It is like musk - one of those elements that show up everywhere, even if in tiny amounts, blending and softening and expanding everything else. <br />Glad to have perhaps piqued your interest as to layering/transitioning scents together over the seasons. I know some frown upon it but I don't think anyone is going to show up at my door to arrest me so what the hell...indieperfumeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933060392329498890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28037586.post-82637965705492562402010-08-03T15:21:45.673-04:002010-08-03T15:21:45.673-04:00C/Ida, yes, jasmine is my new sleeping draught, mi...C/Ida, yes, jasmine is my new sleeping draught, mild but good for the nervous system.

Really? 80% of perfumes use jasmine to some extent? I had no idea. (How did I miss that?? Thank goodness I come here!)<br /><br />You know, I am a huge believer in the impact of seasons on perfume perception (and therefore effect), and not such a big proponent of/experimenter with layering (no particular reason, just because--and maybe because I still feel like I'm learning so much about how individual perfumes behave, I don't have the brain space to venture there). Your previous musings, which you linked to here and I read for the first time, have opened my eyes in a different way. Up until now, I've always been aware of transition scents...scents which, for me, do a good job of expressing/bridging the gap between particular seasons. Maybe now, when this fall starts wending its way in, I'll be ready to think of potential appropriate layerings.ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28037586.post-50091002625020849482010-07-28T13:03:53.884-04:002010-07-28T13:03:53.884-04:00Snootfuls of jasmine do it for me ;-)
