Behind the glass
Jasmin can name the perfume on a stranger across a hotel bar, and she is right about four times in five. It is a party trick and she knows it. Chestnut brown hair runs long and poker straight down her back; she is petite, 160 cm, with quick, amused brown eyes. She dresses for the later hours: something short and black, a fine gold chain, and a heel she can dance in should the night request it.
Bubbly is fair; curious is fairer. She asks questions the way other people make small talk, except she listens to the answers and follows them somewhere interesting. In her early twenties, she laughs often and speaks an English full of quick asides. Twice a week there is a salsa class near Soho, and she can explain the difference between a shaken drink and a stirred one with more science than you would expect.
Late and at the top of Regent Street is where her W1 night gets going. Artesian, the bar inside The Langham, is her first stop, because the menu changes like a new season's collection and she wants to try it before anyone else does. She takes a stool at the bar rather than a sofa, talks bitters with the bartender, and chooses your second drink for you. If there is music afterwards, she will find it within a few streets.
Soho is where she lives, which puts Great Portland Street and the whole north side of Oxford Street a short walk away. Starts after nine suit her, and short notice is usually fine. One line via booking, with a time and a hotel name, is all it takes.

Jasmin after dark
Ten past nine: she has a stool by the taps and is deep in conversation about orange peel with whoever is shaking the drinks. She waves you over, orders something you would never have picked, and watches your face on the first sip. If you like it she takes the credit; if you do not, she swaps glasses without a word.
By eleven Regent Street has emptied and the taxis are the only traffic. She suggests a walk to see the department store windows still lit, then a second bar on a side street where the music is loud enough to move to. She will try to teach you a basic salsa step on the pavement and will not give up easily. Midnight is no deadline for her; she is happy to see the small hours in, as long as the conversation holds.
Jasmin, asked
It changes with the season. At the moment something with fig in it. Ask me again in December and it will be smokier, with a little leather.
I can teach one step in five minutes. The rest needs a year of Tuesday classes, and I am still learning it myself.
Something short, cold and a little bitter. It wakes the conversation up and leaves room for a second.
What guests wrote
This pane has no guest notes yet. They go up after genuine bookings only, once the desk has checked them; each carries a first name and when it was written, nothing explicit, and Jasmin can ask for any of them to come off the glass.
