Inspired by the Stephanotis Floribunda, an asterid treasured above normal star jasmine for its unique aroma and used frequently in high-end bridal bouquets, Madagascan Jasmine is a floral fragrance as unique and captivating as its namesake. A true soliflore, Madagascan Jasmine beautifully captures the complexity of Stephanotis, which far surpasses the amorphous sweetness of lesser jasmines, presenting a floral both lusciously white and deeply green, fresh and yet heady, with a boldness appropriate for both the ingredient and the dynamic florist responsible for the Grandiflora line. Eschewing obvious choices, Madagascan Jasmine does not open with rote citrus notes, choosing instead to delve into the stemmy, green notes that represent the fullness of the Stephanotis plant, leading into the rich petals of the heart notes. A touch of waxiness further represents the skin of the petals, while a barely-there woodsiness fortifies without distracting. The Madagascan Jasmine is a flower of unique sophistication and import. We're pleased to announce that its fragrance is all of that and more.
