Community Sentiment Pulse — Ashlemah
Mixed7 opinions · Source: r/fragrance community
6.5
/10
Ashlemah is a powdery-violet fragrance that performs well for some but suffers from a common issue: ionones (the main aromachemicals in violet) cause rapid temporary anosmia in many people, making the scent fade quickly or be undetectable. Performance varies significantly based on individual anosmia susceptibility to violet aromachemicals.
Positive
- Powdery-violet dominant scent profile
- Violet note is detectable for those not anosmic to ionones
- Good for violet enthusiasts seeking violet-forward fragrances
Negative
- Faint projection and longevity issues reported
- Ionones cause rapid nose blindness/anosmia in many wearers
- Violet note may be undetectable depending on individual anosmia to aromachemicals
