Skipping a day because yesterday's tester needs a lot more attention than I have this morning, what with guest turning up, cleaner unavailable, and therefore our sudden need to make this place look a bit less like a ransacked Amazon warehouse.

Ah but.

High Frequency suits me. I haven't really had a chance to test its longevity yet, but instantly we get on. It's a very good synthetic jasmine note. I love jasmine but grew up with it as a flower in mediterranean gardens, bold and warm and beautiful, just a sprig or a flower perfect in my hair. Thing is, jasmine without heat doesn't have anything like the smell, and artificial jasmine perfumes get paint strippery really fast. Even the essential oil is never quite the ticket.

This starts with a note that made me think of bitter chocolate, definitely a bit gourmand whatever reviewers claim. Then I identify it properly, jasmine but not quite, and almond (guess almond's back in favour as an ingredient.) Gets soapy in the dry down but I love that too. Yes, so far I like HFvery much. Real contender for a buy if it carries on like this.
