I wonder if some people expect "Sex and Jasmine" to be deep and moody. In reality, I think it's called that because it smells like jasmine and sweaty human skin, due to its musky and salty notes.
This has quickly become my summer favourite. It's not subtle, it smells a bit like oriental incense, but it just works so well in heat. Jasmine and sandalwood remind me of my vacations in Spain and I associate them with hot weather- that's when Jasmine blooms and when I burn the most incense. I have a travel sized bottle now but I will upgrade to a full bottle when I run out.
I also want to mention that Paraphrase travel sized bottles are a bit larger than industry standard, which was a nice surprise. Most brands offer 10ml (Scentbird is only 8ml), and Paraphrase ones are 15ml, which I think is a good idea, and makes me less nervous about running out of the fragrance too quickly.
