Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
While it is versatile enough for business settings, the dominant jasmine absolute and woody base make it lean more towards evening and formal wear. For an office environment, it is best applied lightly, as its oriental and sweet accords can feel quite dense in small spaces.
How does the "Noir" aspect affect the scent profile?+−
The "Noir" designation is reflected in the base notes of patchouli and cashmere wood. Unlike a fresh or "white" floral, this fragrance uses almond and tonka bean to create a darker, creamier, and more mysterious character that is better suited for nighttime.
How does it perform in different seasons?+−
This fragrance is most effective in the fall and winter. The cool air allows the sweet and woody accords to bloom without becoming cloying. In the heat of summer, the almond and tonka bean may feel a bit too heavy for some.
Does Splendida Jasmin Noir have a strong woodiness?+−
Yes, the dry down is heavily influenced by cashmere wood and patchouli. While it begins with florals and plant juice, the final lingering scent on the skin is a woody-oriental blend with a distinct creamy texture.
