I didn't see it on the site either..But It was around for a year or 2 they.The line was called French Garden Flowers and they put out Jasmine,lilac,Rose and I think 2 others but I can't remember..I still have a bottle but it's turned so I can't use it

Meant to ask also..there's a Body Shop in the UK??Would you mind looking for something for me??The Body shop here in the states used to carry a perfumed oil at the scent bar called Chypre..I would kill or die for another little bottle of this oil but they've stopped making it here

Yes i will, by the way, could this have been Coty healing garden sensual jasmine ? They do Lavender and Gardenia in the range too and it has a little pink bow around it. Sorry i cant post pics, im clueless with computers !

Hi Alli,I loved the Ashley musk too. The closest I've found (and it has a beautiful scent that ROCKS) is Jovan musk for women. It is NOT the white musk (that one does not smell good- don't pick it up). Just go to any drugstore and and spray some on your wrist. It's nearly impossible to put too much on. This stuff should be high end- it's that heavenly. It's the one that looks like this:

P.S. I have a Body Shop down the street from me if you ever want anything.

Hey girl!

You could always layer a jasmine and a musk. I can send you a beautiful jasmine sample to try if you like, lmk

Originally Posted by Tinydancer No, its Chanel Gardenia, a perfect jasmine imo. **scratching head with glazed eyes** So Chanel Gardenia is a Jasmine scent?!? Chanel play bad tricksies on poor Ali
 
hehe, thats what I said to the woman at the counter, I didn't think she was right but then I had it confirmed at a perfume site. Who knew! Originally Posted by allisong **scratching head with glazed eyes** So Chanel Gardenia is a Jasmine scent?!? Chanel play bad tricksies on poor Ali
 
I really hate it when companies quit making a much loved product, I remember Jovan used to make "Night Blooming Jasmine", it smelled so good and was really popular when I was a teenager (not even going to go into how long ago that was ). The only place I see it available now is on ebay.
 
Hmmm! I'm not a big Jasmine fan but Aedes de Venustas has some great fragrances. Maybe you can do a sampler order to find some obscure but awsome scent? http://www.aedes.com/home.php

How about:

Serge Lutens - A La Nuit: This exhilarating fragrance is composed of maroccan, indian and egyptian jasmine, irresistibly oriental white honey, benzoin and musk. The perfume breathes and expresses freshness, sensuality and splendour.

Calypso - Jasmin: Calypso's fragrances are made in the old tradition of french perfumery in Grasse, France. Jasmin is a sweet and sensual scent ideal for women who love the bold smell of white flowers reminding them of a trip to Morocco. Pure Egyptian Jasmine!

This is a real stretch from what you're describing, but maybe you'll want a sample anyhow...

Parfums de Nicolai - Sacre Bleu!: An oriental, floral scent of raspberry, apricot and blackcurrant, blended with rare jasmine, cinnamon and clove.

Hi Impish..Yes,I've tried layering various jasmine&musk scents but have not been able to even come close to the scent I'm looking for
