Why do these two floral notes smell wonderful, make you smell wonderful, yet hardly leave a scent trail? Jasmine calms the nerves and has a freshness that lifts moods. Tuberose is headier and has a butterycreamy scent that gives off a sensual vibe. Out of the seven fragrances here, six have either of the two, or both, and they have our – and our neighbours’ – nod of approval. – KT
