    Real talk

    The jasmine here is unapologetic. Not aggressive, just present. It doesn't ask permission. Some people find that overwhelming. Those people haven't yet felt how the vanilla underneath makes it feel.Alien Essence Absolue
    This one divides right at the heart. The opening is a strawberry-lover's dream, bright, sweet, almost syrupy. Then the white florals take over, and that's where opinions split.Purple Ruby
