I uster watch this when I was little.
Jasmin 17 is a jasmine to cut your teeth on: it's not the least bit indolic, more along the direction of the delicacy of honeysuckle or orange blossom than something heavy and seductive like tuberose, extremely fresh and pretty, thanks to a dose of citrusy Litsea cubeba and bigarade, and a subdued soapiness that would make it an ideal scent for summer nights on Martha's Vineyard. It's not remarkable for inventiveness or complexity, but there is nothing objectionable about something that simply smells good, though its style is not my speed in the least.

Hey, Chris Isaak! He's a local boy :) from Stockton.
You might like Montale's Jasmin Full, if you're in the market for a jasmine perfume. It reminds me of star jasmine, which is what they plant in parks and street medians around here. It's heavy and sweet, but mellow, not sharp or indolic. In Jasmin Full it sort of comes in waves, so it's not dull like other soliflores.

Never tried it, though I've been curious. I hear it's "the" jasmine soliflore. It's just that I'm not particularly interested in jasmine, I rather prefer the fleshy girth of tuberose or lately, the delicacy of lily of the valley.
