Now, I have the good fortune to walk by jasmine each day, and I am training my son to appreciate the beauty of this flower. There is nothing like it - if a scent is capable of duende, then this is it. Of course, now, whatever I have him smell, be it a rose or incense, he says, "it smells like jasmine!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-30972832964218981372008-07-17T17:02:00.000+02:002008-07-17T17:02:00.000+02:00Billy, a mi tambien me encanta Lorca.

Although I connect orange blossom mostly with Andalucia in particular (the sight of the orchards is something almost sacred!), jasmine plays a major role in every Mediterranean culture. <BR/>It's lucky that I live in a place scattered with bushes of it, blooming at least 7 months a year: the waft of jasmine in bloom is evocative of a southern summer evening no matter the time.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.com
