Scent Bar Staff Video Review for Shaft of Light

Video Transcript

Shaft of Light by J-Scent is Sunshine in a Bottle. This is sparkling grapefruit and lemon. It's so uplifting. Citrus, in general, is a really uplifting note. And I just feel a sense of kind of peace and joy when I smell this. It really puts me in a good mood.

The idea is sort of like shafts of light sort of streaming through the citrus grove or something. So there's like this idea of earth and trees. There's a nice oak moss and patchouli in the base. So there's this nice sort of grounding effect to the sparkly citrus up top. And I think the balance is what really does it for me.

And like most or all maybe of the J-Scent, it wears kind of clean and fresh, like clean skin and this white musk kind of dry down that I'm absolutely in love with. So you should definitely check out Shaft of Light if that's your style.

This is one of those scents that will illicit “you smell nice” reactions rather than “I like your perfume.” It evokes that you’re clean, use a pleasant soap, and have nice pheromones. It’s very subtle and unisex, and certainly like other reviewers, puts me in a good mood. I really did not like Yawahada, so I’m surprised that I like this one so much. A perfect perfume for when you don’t want to smell like you’re wearing perfume!

Initially, I wasn’t wowed because it just smelled like a bar of lemon magnolia soap. I’m usually not a soapy girl, but clearly, it has grown on me, since out of all the samples I got I reach for this one the most! This is a shower-fresh, jeans and clean white t-shirt daytime fragrance. A lovely white floral soapy citrus. To me, the lemon, magnolia, and musk notes are most prominent. Great for spring and summer.

A light, happy, and sparkling fragrance that says "I'm in a GREAT mood!" The citrus notes on the top are the stars of this fragrance. It's great for spring and summer. It's like spring sunshine in a bottle so I understand where the name comes in. It's definitely for the warmer months and it does lean slightly femme, but if you're a guy that likes subtle floral notes combined with citrus, then I'd say give it a try. I did end up purchasing a full bottle and I've really enjoyed wearing it. I don't think it's a mass appealing fragrance, so I don't recommend blind buying. Get a tester and try it out.

It's nice---like Yawahada in a good mood! LOL Seriously though, it smells similar to Yawahada but has additional citrus and floral notes that make it seem bright and light---ideal for a summer daytime fragrance (think Clinique's Happy). I don't dislike it, but it isn't compelling enough for me to purchase a full-sized bottle.

I tried Shaft of Light as a sample recently, and have to say I am really impressed. I have been searching for my “scent” for a while. (Of course the one I get complimented on the most [RL Romance, of all things] is too “basic” for me lol). This scent is clean, summery, and reminds me of the orange blossoms in my backyard. It’s not terribly feminine, I think due to the sandalwood and patchouli notes. Not sure if it’s “mine”, but I definitely plan on purchasing a full size soon.
