This could be accused of being very linear... and quite honestly it is. Let's be fair though the quality of this is excellent, I'm not a white floral fan and this is far too feminine for my butch sensibilities (if that's not a contraction in terms?) but I have to say I love jasmine. Jasmine bomb then pretty much? Grand Bal isn't quite as sweet as some jasmine notes, could be that hint of ylang and sandalwood but more likely it's accurately floral and delivers all aspects of the jasmine spectrum, sweet, powdery, waxy even a little dirty? You know what though? I still like it! This Dior line doesn't have to hit the mark with amazing creations each time because enough of them are superb, original compositions to carry a few fillers. This is for the lady who can afford it, and far from being an expert I'd suspect they're cheaper options that deliver in this department. Lasted very well on me and does what it sets out to.
