Aphid scare included
I used to have Tagetes in the garden frequently as a deterrent against aphids to protect roses and other greenery. That worked quite well. Except I always found that the colors of the Tagetes - from yellow to orange to orange-brown - didn't go so well with the colors of my roses. And Tagetes stink.... doesn't smell that pleasant, in my opinion. So I eventually switched to lavender.
And with Tagetes starts "Tagete" what else. I pondered after spraying on, whether T had actually stood on my watch list, and if so why, or whether it was "just so" a friendly addition of Daisy, because I had already tried other Profumum Roma ... Anyway, after spraying it on, unpleasant tagetes hits my nose first, and I'm glad I only gave it two short sprays on my wrist. Great, probably also still durable until midnight.
My wrist disregarding first once coffee put on and to the dog round outside. At breakfast then times carefully sniffed in the direction of the wrist and ... ohhh! The jasmine has come to the fore and smells finely floral, slightly sweet and with a delicate tart hint, which probably still comes from the Tagetes. Even though this hint is still fading, the jasmine remains soft and delicate and not at all radiant and demanding. With time, a slight musky powderiness joins in and maybe there's a hint of vetiver green in there somewhere, but I'm not really sure. The sillage is overall in the middle to lower range, the durability is about 8 hours.
My suggestion would be, immediately after spraying on first a while to stroll through the garden to scare any aphids.
I thank Daisy for the testing opportunity
