Jasmine perfumery

“... I have especially vividly remembered from the time of my childhood“ Jasmin de Corse. ”At that time, these were expensive perfumes in which the genius Coty managed to convey the attractive sensuality and charm of the light, perky fragrance of this flower, without the essence of which it is impossible to create any good perfume ... "- K. Verigin.
