The best Asian jasmine perfume

I've been on the hunt for a perfume that reminds me of the jasmine flowers that grow in South Asia/Southeast Asia. This is it, 100%, and I can vouch for this as a Vietnamese person. Again to reiterate, this is the scent of Asian jasmine and not the variety that might be in Mugler Alien or similar po...pular Western perfume houses, so if you're looking for that you might be disappointed. This is the jasmine fragrance note that's in jasmine tea, is my best approximation for someone who's probably never smelled Asian jasmine before. I had ordered the travel size before ordering the full bottle, and I will say I did not experience the faulty/spilled bottles with either one that some people have reported in their reviews. However, I did notice it is pretty easy to unscrew the pump from the bottle (at least for the travel size; I didn't wanna take my chances with my lovely full size!), but it wasn't that hard to screw it back on tightly. The scent is beautiful, all the notes coming together to create that fresh hit of blooming jasmine bushes on a sunny day. Sandalwood is the perfect base to keep it at just the right sweetness. Sillage and longevity - this is where I see a lot of complaints. And I want to say, yes, it is something that doesn't exactly perform for too long. Then again, I noticed it is easy to get anosmic if I try to sniff the bottle for longer than 5 seconds, so I'm not entirely sure if that's due to anosmia to the scent or something else. My notes: the scent bubble is pretty intimate, I get good whiffs of the fragrance close to myself for about 1.5 - 2 hours, after that it's a scent that sticks to skin for another half hour or so, and then it disappears. I like to spray along my hair and the back of my neck and it makes me feel absolutely beautiful for that amount of time. If that's not what you want, fair. I find that I don't mind it at all, and might actually prefer it that way as someone who gets migraines sometimes from perfumes. Projection, I am unsure. I have a feeling it doesn't project too far but again I prefer it that way as a nice day scent. Layering is difficult since its scent seems to disappear almost instantly if there is another fragrance applied, even if you layer it above the other fragrance. I've bought a few nemat perfume oils from the company itself so I'll have to see if layering with the same Mogra Jasmine oil will help. Overall: beautiful scent, if you want a single note of Asian jasmine that is the right balance of green and sweet, this is it for you. If you're looking for good sillage, projection, longevity, it might not be the best, but if you're like me and you don't mind a shorter acting perfume this is definitely a lovely day scent and I certainly don't mind carrying the travel size with me to freshen it up. As far as reported packaging issues go, not entirely sure what difference it would make if Ulta carried these in-store since they have to be shipped regardless to Ulta, but I haven't seen an issue - yet. Even if I didn't, I wouldn't mind trying to work it out, this fragrance is just far too lovely for me to give up on.
