An Overlooked (but great!) Jasmine Fragrance


Just today I sampled Givenchy's Organza EDT for the first time - the manufacturer's description didn't sound appealing to me (honeysuckle, nutmeg, vanilla and gardenia.)

But the bottle design is SO BEAUTIFUL and unique that I just had to try the fragrance.

The fragrance itself is pretty sweet - lots of jasmine (I honestly can't tell the difference between jasmine and honeysuckle) and vanilla on top. And the nutmeg, which I didn't think I would care for in a fragrance, actually lends a unique and interesting note that is actually kind of appealing.

And actually if I'd tried it sooner I would have included it in this months' Jasmine selections!

This is much sweeter and lighter than I would expect from an oriental, or even a "floriental." I personally enjoy darker, heavier orientals. But a very beautiful, elegant, feminine fragrance that is perfect for many women I know.
