Jasmine (as well as other heavy florals like rose, ylang and neroli) can be softened with vanilla. Equal amounts make a powdery scent that can be used as is or blended with other fruits or floral scents. One of my favorite scents is White Shoulders (the original, not the new stuff), which is supposed to be a combination of white flowers. Cat I don't mind jasmine and ylang ylang if they are used very sparingly in blends. I find using components like citrus to cut through the heaviness of them helps -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by http://www.soapcraft.co.nz - supplier of raw ingredients.
