Review of Secret Joly by aad de gids

this is a scintillating Jasmine perfume. Jasmine isn't the only star. Gardenia soon follows. perhaps it is the Bubble-gum effect people are naming linked to Tuberose but I detect a kind of Marzipan aroma which I think accompanies the Jasmine and Gardenia. the Ylang-Ylang and Tuberose somehow take care for a full Bouquet of (White) Flowers but they are not especially discernable. notwithstanding the Allure of this perfume is fantastic. it is a kind of Dance, Joy, Play of initial Floral Brilliance. the Hyacinth also disperses itself through all these Ladies. in Oriza L. Legrands Marions-Nous (1928) we find a more prominent (still more) Hyacinth together with a more expansive Civet. here all is held insubordinate to the Flashing Florals of the Opening. to be finally microgranulary diffused on a 'Forestrial' Ambery Bed of Peru Balsem & Musk. the Civet gives a full aspect to the perfume. this is another sophisticated and refined Floral scent of the Famed House of Oriza.
