    I absolutely loved this review. I have not tried Jasmal, although I adored Natalie Wood and her movies. She was an great actress and imparted such feeling and emotion to her roles, that you forgot they were roles. However, I never heard that Jasmal was her fragrance,..I thought it was Jungle Gardenia. I have read many biographies of her and do not remember Jasmal being mentioned in any of them.
    Nevertheless, you have me wanting to try this one.

      Glad to hear it. I do think it is as I describe it – a jasmine Diorissimo, just fuller. Very heady and joyous in a way, but there is something else there under the surface…

      On Natalie Wood, I think I have only seen her in West Side Story with that ludicrous accent (love it though, obviously).

      I always wonder if they really did murder her on that boat….

    Sounds like something I should seek out. I love jasmine, and have been known to spin out of control.
