Jujutwin Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Stupid question I'm sure. I had found a little bottle of lotion at a country store once and remembered it was Jasmine. It smelled great. I don't want to order just one bottle, so I am hoping out of the many many bottles of FO's I have, I might have something that smells somewhat similar to Jasmine, or be able to mix something that smells similar. I am the guinea pig, this is just for me.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logcabinmomma Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 honeysuckle and gardenia are very similar and often blended with jasmine...-Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxSioux Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 There are some Jasmine's that have a unique, lovely note, but for the most part, I've found Jasmine to be an almost generic floral. I've had Hyacinth, Gardenia & Blue Bonnet that could easily pass. Don't get me wrong -- they're all nice fo's, but unlabeled, I seriously doubt too many people could identify which is which.Susan.

ChrisR Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I have to disagree. True jasmine is a very potent, heady scent and jasmine lovers will be able to tell the difference immediately. I worked with my local florist years ago to match my FO's to the true floral scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I agree w/ you, Chris -- the 'true' scents are distinctive. I was trying to say that most of these florals are not represented very well by most suppliers & it takes a lot of sampling to find the ones that have the intoxicating notes that make a scent stand out. I've smelled many wonderful Jasmine candles, but I've yet to find one that sets my world on fire.Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
