Sex & Jasmine

Sex & Jasmine by Libertine Fragrance is a striking, unapologetic jasmine-centered scent that leans heavily into animalic, warm, and slightly musky accords. It opens with a bold, linear jasmine note—rich and lush, but often described as indolic or dirty by those who prefer ethereal, clean floral profiles. The scent is anchored by patchouli, sandalwood, and ambergris, which together create a dense, earthy base. Some reviewers note a faint, slightly sweet vanilla and balsamic warmth that rounds it out, contributing to a mood of sensual intimacy rather than overt sexiness. While a few describe it as opulent, elegant, and truly beautiful—especially in warmer weather—others find it overwhelming, stale, or offensively dusty, likening it to an old basement or tarry patchouli on skin. The dry down often features a flat, musty jasmine with a heavy indolic trail, making it a very polarizing scent. It's not subtle—its sillage is moderate and noticeable, and for some, it becomes too loud too soon. The fragrance shows moderate longevity, but its performance varies significantly depending on the wearer's skin chemistry.
