It lacks the dewy realism found in more expensive floral compositions. The black currant in the heart adds a tart, jammy quality that clashes slightly with the jasmine. This fruitiness is loud and sticky rather than elegant.
The rose here is a heavy, red variety that dominates the midsection. It mixes with the white floral jasmine to create a dense, pollen-heavy atmosphere.
