Jasmine Yang

6.8

Anima Vinci · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Anima Vinci Jasmine Yang is a fresh, lightly sweet women's fragrance that sets citrus brightness against a floral heart. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It opens with yuzu, mandarin orange and pink pepper, with citrus leading at first. The heart of frangipani, water jasmine and ylang-ylang forms a floral core. In the base, vanilla, white musk, sandalwood, patchouli and ambergris settle it into a powdery, creamy, woody warmth, with a green freshness running through the flowers.
