  Love and Tears: Surrender is an incredibly well-constructed perfume that tells a different story on every skin. Like an ambiguous, mysterious fable, each reading depends on who wears it. It’s a fragrance built almost entirely around jasmine, the protagonist of this sad chapter—the fourth movement of ‘L’Ouvre Noire’—where the heart breaks and sinks into sorrow. Because isn’t love also about suffering? The more you loved, the greater the pain of loss. ‘Love and Tears: Surrender’ smells like that inner moment when you keep waiting for that person to return. That’s why the chosen jasmine is fresh, vigorous, and exquisite, wrapped in soft aquatic notes and a cushion of moss. Even those who don’t usually like white flowers, including myself, are surprised by the dramatic intensity of this scent. It’s a perfume you have to try to see how it evolves on the skin. Unfortunately, in my case, what starts as a cold, melancholic jasmine eventually warms up. The wild nature of the jasmine takes over, revealing animalic and warm undertones, which makes me lose interest. However, it’s a great jasmine fragrance; in fact, it’s the most delicious jasmine I’ve ever smelled.
