Who doesn’t love the story of how Cleopatra seduced Marc Anthony? Dressed as the goddess Aphrodite, she sailed into his harbour with the purple sails of her royal barge drenched in jasmine oil. He followed his nose, and their passion became the stuff of legend. The Egyptian queen knew what she was doing, because jasmine’s narcotic allure is irresistible. Persian poets called it yasmin — “gift from God”, Indian temples burn it for Ayurvedic healing, Chinese tea masters steep it with green leaves, wellness practitioners use it to improve mood. From the over 200 species of jasmine, only two are used in perfume: jasmine grandiflorum and jasmine sambac. Jasmine grandiflorum has an intensely sweet, narcotic white floral character. Rich fruity-banana facets emerge, while warm indolic undertones provide the carnal depth. A herbaceous tea quality and subtle clove-like spiciness add complexity. Jasmine sambac is greener than grandiflorum, with bitter green freshness and tropical fruit dewiness, evolving into a heady orange blossom heart, finishing with honeyed sensuality and subtle animalic musk. Depending on where jasmine is grown and how it’s processed, it can lean sweeter, greener, more musky, more fruity. And synthetic jasmine bases can blur the profile even further, lending this plush pleasure provider even more options. Depending on the composition, this voluptuous floral can go from dark and edgy, to hot and heavy, to clean and marine. Savour this edit to appreciate how jasmine can adjust to fit everyone from boudoir bunnies, leather lovers, coastal connoisseurs, bridal babes...and you.
Bo-Bo is named after a Mediterranean folk dance, which is a perfect fit for this nimble, sunshiney jasmine fragrance. Jasmine is supported by the citrus bliss of mandarin, the shy, bitter green of lily-of-the-valley, soft orange blossom and dry vetiver. Refreshing and bright.
Bright mandarin and juicy pomegranate burst out of the opening, softening into a heart of jasmine and delicate lily-of-the-valley, grounded by warm amber and nuzzly musk. Feminine but not too sweet.
003 is an easy-wearing, contemporary interpretation of 19th century barber/pharmacist tonic infusions for gentlemen. A crisp yuzu, green violet leaves and dry vetiver cologne-style fragrance, with a cushioned jasmine upholstering the frame. Deep, shady, cool.
A self-possessed perfume for a person who doesn’t need anything, but craves everything. This is excess with control, 70s-era Bianca Jagger wearing Halston, lighting up the Studio 54 dance floor. Carine is a fiercely chic patchouli with an ample jasmine and gardenia cleavage, trussed in a corset of vetiver. Sighs of rose and amber sail through the trail of this Dominique Ropion composition. Confident, elegant, insolent.
A battle royale between jasmine and oud, where everyone’s a winner. Oud in White opens on a zest of pear, ginger, and raspberry, before revealing its true intentions with jasmine sambac’s shocking sensuality. Peachy osmanthus fleshes out the fleshiness, and resinous labdanum and milky sandalwood makes the slide into leathery Cambodian oud irresistible. Between the twinned forces of indolic jasmine and barnyardy oud, this one’s for connoisseurs of the finer side of skank.
Hiraeth, pronounced "Hear-ay-the", is Welsh for nostalgia, or longing. Satisfy your longing with this abundant, life-affirming blend that brings a summer meadow wherever you go. Jasmine and neroli sing a heartbreaking harmony, while rose and frankincense lend ancient mystery. Cool lavender and warm nutmeg keep things lively.
In Buddhism, the ultimate aim is Nirvana, which refers to liberation from suffering and the attainment of peace. Find your peace with this enfolding eau de parfum, with the freshness of mandarin surrounded by waves of black tea and sultry jasmine sambac. Go from floating in the clouds to drifting through the universe.
Inspired by a typographer’s mark and the detailed study of a blossom. A prismatic sheen washes over a lively conversation between flowers, penned in iridescent ink. This impression is brought to life with tender honeysuckle, voluptuous jasmine sambac, and creamy, apricot-esque mirabelle plum.
Hélène Napoleone was the daughter of Napoleon’s last lover, Albine de Montholon, and although it was never confirmed if the now-exiled Emperor was indeed her father, he did give her his name, so…? Her namesake fragrance is a vivacious bouquet of fruits and florals, headlined by sparkling pear and jasmine. The charm deepens with the amber base, warmed by sandalwood and patchouli.
