California Star Jasmine Pacifica for women

Light, citrusy scent. Not very complex or deep; just simple. However, it does not smell like ornamental star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides). This plant is in the milkweed family and smells divine, sublime, heavenly sweet and heady. This perfume is NOT star jasmine, it is citrus based. A nice scent, but not attention-grabbing.

This definitely reminds me of going to the pool for swimming lessons when I was a kid. (and I'm from California.) But that's because it smells like sunscreen and pool, with some jasmine bushes in the background. And it's not like the coconutty kind of suntan lotion, but actually sunscreen, like banana boat. Maybe the tester went bad? Or maybe that's just the driftwood accord coming out?

I don't dislike the scent, it is nostalgic, but if I want to smell like sunscreen, I would just... wear sunscreen. There might be a milky/planty kind of jasmine hiding in there somewhere, but I can just barely smell it.

Starts off as an earthy white-floral scent with some bitter citrus and woods, and dries down into a tame, soft jasmine aroma that stays close to the skin. I prefer the opening, as the drydown is a little too quiet for me. I'm not in love with it, but it's a nice scent nonetheless.

I like this perfume very much, but do not be misled by the name of it because I smell orange as strongly as I smell star jasmine. I love its flowery sweetness, and it does remind me of sunny Southern California, where jasmine and orange trees are bountiful. This is a beautiful, warm, summer scent.

I love the perfect packaging colors and design and the roll-on is fantastic. The price is amazing! The scent is an orange jasmine-y white floral with a prominent sweet tart candy note! It smells like youthful sunshine candy and is perfect for some people! A very light sandalwood note drifts in and out of this pretty scent. This may be a headache inducer. I've developed a deeper appreciation of this on rainy days, when stronger green jasmine reveals itself a little easier and prominently. Every day I fall in love with this a little more!

This was 90% citrus and woods on my skin, right from the initial spray. A tart orange and driftwood that seems to turn a little bitter on my skin. Luckily it was not overwhelmingly strong. I think I could enjoy it in candle form.

A bit of a disappointment for me since I was hoping for some star jasmine to take me back to the time I lived in Los Angeles (I never realized I liked jasmine until I smelled it on the bush outside).
