[...] The Bottom Line : Quality A Smells natural; seems coherent with good flow. Grab-scale score 9 If not higher – I’m leaving myself a little wiggle room! Short description Ethereal green tuberose. Cost $$$ Earns compliments: Yes. Even Bookworm, who tends to dislike tuberose, calls this one “pretty.” Scent presence Slightly less than average (2 spritzes last 4 hours), moderate sillage. Will not get you lynched at the office. Review Report: Now Smell This, Bois de Jasmin, Perfume-Smellin’ Things (by Marina), Perfume-Smellin’ Things (by Donna), Aromascope. [...]

Rachel, Zagorsk is such a winter scent for me, now you got me curious to try it in the heat! Terre d’Hermes is perfect in any weather – a true modern day classic.

I tried Zagorsk today and loved it’s piney coolness in the heat… with violet and iris coming in on the breezes. Also, Terre d’Hermes is great, too, for something warmer.

Caron’s Narcisse Noir in hot weather is positively narcotic. But the even better thing to do is combine Narcisse Noir with Bellodgia. The hotter it is outside, the better these two grande dames smell. They are wonderful on their own, but combining them every so often on a scorching hot day (or humid sultry evening) is a truly wonderful experience.

Teri, oh, absolutely! Jasmin de Nuit is a true beauty in summer.

Ah, I know. Sometimes, on very rare occasion, it is indeed a blessing for the night. Shovel heat! LOL!

I agree with Teri about Jasmin de Nuit. I love its warm, cuddly spiciness… Jasmine was made for the heat. It’s a hot climate flower!

I recently, quite by accident, discovered TDC’s Jasmin de Nuit blossoms beautifuly on my skin in the extreme heat. In winter it was pleasant, but fleeting. In summer, it’s a diva! I’ve been puddling around for the last few days with some other jasmine scents (Goutal’s Le Jasmine and SL A La Nuit) and found the same happy effect in varying degrees. I’d always thought jasmine scents would be too much of a muchness in the summer, but instead, on me, they are being all they can be.

I remember AC as being a blessing on those midwestern nights when the temp never sank below 98 degrees, with humidity at 98%. But since I’ve moved to Colorado, where the heat is usually dry heat and the nights cool down beautifully, I scarcely use it all.

Give me heat over cold any day. I don’t have to shovel heat!
