Fado Jasmim Special Edition
by Miguel Matos
Fado Jasmim Special Edition is a deeply sensual and complex fragrance built around a volatile jasmine sambac core. It opens with a bold, nearly medicinal burst of indolic jasmine blended with tropical fruits—banana, passionfruit, and plum—giving it a unique, slightly retro impression. The fruitiness is not cloying or childish, but rather interwoven with an animalic depth from civet and ambergris, contributing to a mysterious, erotic warmth. Over time, the floral intensity softens into a smooth, musky, and woodsy base of agarwood, oud, coumarin, and oakmoss, anchoring the scent with depth and a quiet strength. The overall effect is one of layered sensuality—both intimate and radiant—evoking a melancholic elegance tied to memory and music. The silage is strong and long-lasting, making it ideal for evening wear during autumn and winter.
