Jasmin de Nuit presents a richly layered, spicy interpretation of jasmine that diverges sharply from conventional white floral perfumes. The opening bursts with bright bergamot, mandarin orange, and star anise, immediately establishing a bold, warm, and slightly heady profile. Cinnamon, cardamom, and gentle ambrox notes weave through the heart, supporting a jasmine that is less dominant than expected—softer, more secluded, and subtly indolic in character. Over time, the fragrance unfolds into a deep, soft, velvety base of amber, sandalwood, patchouli, and warm spices, creating a sensual, intimate, and quietly seductive aura. Though it possesses moderate sillage and decent longevity, the scent often remains close to the skin, especially on delicate or dry skin types. It's particularly favored in cooler months and evening wear, with many describing it as mysterious, warm, and transportive—evoking memories of old perfumeries, shadowed courtyards, or intimate encounters. Some find it too subdued or underwhelming, while others describe it as deeply personal and transformative. The balance between spice and floral is sharp and artful, making it ideal for those who appreciate depth over sweetness, and who enjoy perfumes that feel less literal and more poetic.
