Jasmin Kusamono presents a transparent, watery floral composition that evokes freshness and minimalism. The opening features a crisp, slightly green nashi pear note intertwined with bright lily of the valley, creating a delicate, airy elegance. Jasmine sambac emerges as a clean, bright centerpiece without indolic richness, harmonizing with the floral transparency. The base settles into a light, creamy sandalwood and subtle cedar, adding a softly wooded harmony without overwhelming the floral core. The fragrance develops gently, with a slight green freshness suggesting herbal or tea-like nuances, and leaves a faint, clean aquatic impression in the drydown. It performs admirably for an EDT, offering moderate longevity and consistent sillage that is completely appropriate for spring and summer wear. The scent feels intentional and refined, balanced between freshness and sophistication, making it accessible and suitable for daytime use. While some perceive it as too linear or lightweight — with a minority reporting a synthetic, headache-inducing quality — the majority find it beautiful, serene, and elegant, particularly when appreciated on the skin.
