The Different Company's Jasmin de Nuit - one of the newer treasures in this knockout line, Jasmin de Nuit is the inspired brainchild of Celine Ellena (progeny of Jean-Claude) and if this is any indication, the apple fell very close indeed to the tree. And as you can imagine, it is like nothing you've ever experienced.
Jasmine - that historically (or hysterically, as the case may be) omnipresent note in perfumery, period - as interpreted by Ms. Ellena is breathtakingly beautiful, modern as it could possibly be, and a very welcome departure from the jasmines we've been sniffing since 1685.
Not too terribly surprisingly, Ellena's concentration of Egyptian jasmine is remarkably high; its heady sweetness is artfully and boldly (even daringly?) complemented by amber, cardamom, sandalwood, black currant, cinnamon from Ceylon, and star anise. In short, a very different sort of jasmine from a very different sort of company - a company that, fortunately for us, goes where others fear to tread.
