Bruno Acampora Jasmin ~ fragrance review
Bruno Acampora is the proprietor of an Italian line of perfume oils about which I know basically nothing. His website “invites you to join him on a voyage of the senses that spanned forty years”, and according to Luckyscent, where the fragrances debuted earlier this year, the small aluminum bottles sealed with cork that house the perfumes are “unchanged in 30 years”, so apparently the house is not new, but it is certainly new to me. Today’s subject, Jasmin, was reportedly launched in 1978, and the notes include jasmine, cyclamen, cloves and ylang ylang.
Jasmin starts out rich and strong, and more than a little indolic. At first I worried that it might be more jasmine than I can stand — it very nearly outdoes Serge Lutens A La Nuit in the buried-alive-in-flower-petals category. Just as I was beginning to question the wisdom of testing it in July, of all times, it started to settle.
