Atkinsons Jasmine in Tangerine

by: Elena Knezhevich

The newly revived (in 2013), old British perfume house Atkinsons has added a new perfume to one of their already four perfume lines: The Contemporary Collection. The name of the fragrance is Jasmine in Tangerine.

"Jasmine is steeped in the floral language of love and passion. Just as Lord Krishna brought the jasmine tree from heaven for his beloved wife Rukmini, Sir Thomas Milington, the noted 18th Century English Physician and adventurer, brought back the purest jasmine flower from India as an act of Love to England. Jasmine in Tangerine is a contemporary tribute to this romantic expedition.

It is a radically impertinent take on Jasmine that marries with a charming irreverence the exotic solar beauty of the Indian flower and the sparkling suavity of a tangerine squeeze, a fruit delicacy exclusively enjoyed by the Royal Society in the 1800s."
