Ikat Jasmine

I never gave Estée's daughter a fighting chance in giving her fragances a go. I first thought "this is probably going to be a concentrated version of "Modern Muse" with a somewhat higher pricetag along with the rest of Aerin's line." I was wrong. I am totally impressed by her whole collection. Not only is her company fresh and bright but I think her business aspect is going to go pretty well above Jonathan Adler's aspect. I think we should support more American brands who have great ideas and creativity as much as their European counterparts. Upon seeing her line at Barney's I immediately noticed the beautiful bottles. You can't miss those stone caps. Those caps reminded me of Giorgio Armani Privé's couture perfume line. I hope that wasn't intentional on her behalf. I smelled a lot of her scents and really liked where she was going with them. Ikat Jasmine for whatever reason stuck out the most for me. There is a dense lightness to it (if that oxymoron makes any sense). It is large bouquet but is lightweight that it brushes your skin like a biased cut silk dress. The florals are just divine. Jasmine sambac, Honeysuckle, tuberose, Egyptian cotton (that add's a little powdery accent to the fragrance). I requested a decant for this and gave it to my mother for her to try it and she was in love. Something of this scent reminds me of her growing up in the 90s. She had a fragrance that was very similar to this in the summer. There is an aquatic feeling with this scent. This of course a day fragrance but you can cheat a little and stretch it out to 7pm on a summer evening. Then layer it with "Tuberose Le Soir". And that is another wonderful thing about Aerin, you can layer these fragrances. Aerin managed to create "separates" with fragrances (the same way Donna Karan created "7 easy pieces" with fashion in the 80s). This fragrance has a big bright projection. Easily can be worn in the office, but I don't want to smell it in the office. I think it's much more elegant for florescent lighting--it cheapens the brand. This is casual and breezy. It should be worn with jeans and a white shirt. Not to say this is overly casual, this is also a lunch fragrance--so don't forget your shift dress. Sillage is very close to the skin. Can be a bit intimate. I am very excited for the future of Aerin Lauder. I think she has big opportunities ahead.

When I first tried this in the summer of 2022, I wasn’t sure what to think of it. I know what jasmine smells like as I grew it in the summer. I also love jasmine tea. But being perfume illiterate, I was hoping to get more of a soliflore jasmine note, but I see that tuberose is in the mix. When I first bought this, I had no idea what tuberose is. I still have only a vague understanding of what tuberose smells like even though I now own three different interpretations of it. So, my first impression, Ikat Jasmine was just an ok scent for me. But over time, I have come to like it and understand different notes a bit more. I think I might love iIkat more layering with something citrusy. EL/AL suggest layering with Mediterranean honeysuckle. Might be worth a try since MH includes bergamot and grapefruit notes. On a side note. tuberose perfumes I really like are Tuberose Le Soir and Le Jour from Aerin. Ikat Jasmine is well-formulated. Update: 07/30/2023. I sprayed a few more times since my initial purchase last year. And I like it so much now. I think I was unfairly expecting a soliflore. Ikat still is a dominant jasmine perfume with very clean white floral notes ever softly in the background without any stem greenness. Very elegant and pretty. Love now. 🥰 Bravo, Aerin Lauder.

Ikat Jasmine is a light white floral with moderate-low projection. The notes don’t suggest it but I swear I smell a lot of bergamot in the opening. The bergamot note here is sweet and vibrant at the same time. I’ve sprayed this on my recently washed wrist three times before bedtime. When I woke up it was still significantly there on my skin. It is by far the longest lasting Aerin perfume I’ve ever tried. I didn’t get the honeysuckle or the tuberose. However, the dry down is sweet and powdery with sandalwood and jasmine in the base notes. Compared to a rich and narcotic jasmine such as Lush Lust, it is much more friendly and demure. Compared to a more modern jasmine such as Estee Lauder Modern Muse or Thierry Mugler Alien EDP, it is much more natural, bright, and joyful. While it may lack the opulence or the complexity of greater jasmine fragrances such as Creed Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie, it is still a feminine and beautiful rendition of this flower. It actually reminds me a lot of Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum without the copious tiare & vanilla that dominates the Guerlain composition. For those of you who are looking for a fresh, soft, everyday or a sort of “introductory” jasmine fragrance, this may be a good one to try. I recommend it for all seasons.

This isn't your normal dominant jasmin scent. To me it's more a vanilla tuberose profile with a woody undertone, the honey suckle sweetens it nicely and I believe the ambroxan in the base makes it clean and addictive. I sure do smell Jasmine but it's so beautiful layered with tuberose and sandalwood that it becomes entirely creamy and full bodied. It's sweet and beautiful in a very gorgeous natural and creamy way. It's stunning as a matter of fact and I need this tomorrow. High quality , very beautiful. Some reviews here said they like the clean drydown. I am at that stage now and "wow " it's great. It becomes like a Nivea smell. Creamy and clean. It must be the notes combined with the ambroxan !? I am impressed. To me it has a warm vanilla quality. It very long lasting. Longest out of her line. In love !

Ikat Jasmine by Aerin Lauder is giving me glamour girl vibes! Jasmine can sometimes be quite screechy but Ikat Jasmine is giving this potent princess a whole new note to sing and it’s lovely! It smells very clean and is mellowed out but the honeysuckle which is another floral Aerin Lauder does well in my opinion. The tuberose is being it’s creamy white floral self. I do not pick up on the sandalwood or ambroxan but that’s okay, I’m sure they are there somewhere playing supporting act. I smelled this on a whim expecting not to like it and was very surprised when I really did. I sprayed in on my arm as I left the store and 6 hours later I ordered a bottle, it’s fabulous!

Jasmine was an early love for me- my first experience was Jovan Night-Blooming Jasmine- it was my go-to college scent- Of late, though, most of the jasmines I've encountered have been way too animalic, (Serge Lutens A La Nuit) or they smelled like room spray- (Lush Lust ) or worse yet, bathroom room spray- (Pacifica Tunisian Jasmine, Al-Rehab Jasmine) I'm pleased to say that Ikat Jasmine is none of the above- it is a soft yet long-lasting jasmine skin scent, as comfortable as that shirt that you always reach for first in the closet- I love it! (Thanks, E.!)

My god is this stunning. I saw gillian anderson wearing this and i immediately went to smell it. Wew! It’s so natural smelling. It’s like walking through the meadows and having the wind sweeping across you. And you can just smell the freshly bloomed flowers. Usually i get bored of florals real quick, but i don’t think i’ll get over this one. The longevity and sillage is not bad as well. The bottle itself is a work of art. So dainty and cute 😂 i also think that the price is ok! Edit: i just realized that this smells kinda similar to olene from diptyque!

As someone who has a weak spot for white florals, I WOULD HAVE said 'Move over, Gucci Bloom'. I mean come on, tuberose, jasmine, freshly cut flower stems and FRESH linen. The combination is simply wonderful! Sadly, I find it such an offense that it has terrible longevity. Fresh and light combination of white florals-- anybody who has a weak spot for such fragrance will be swept off their feet-- and then be disappointed by the shortlived experience. It's an insult to call it EDP, this has the staying power of a cologne, or an EDT at most.

This perfume smells of clean linen hung out on a summer's day at the beach, with jasmine trees nearby with their scent wafting luxuriantly through the air. I can smell a touch of salt here too, eventhough that isn't listed in the notes on this page. I get a touch of ambroxan at the end, too. It doesn't dominate it though and it just brings down the sweetness a touch. That's probably where I'm getting the beach vibes from. I could imagine a woman in white linen going to a beach party wearing this perfume. It's so easy and breezy!

This is quickly turning into my go to scent this spring! I find myself reaching for it frequently the past few weeks. It is light, fresh, and delicate, and the jasmine manages to be both crisp and creamy at the same time. But... the longevity on my skin is an issue. It's an issue I have with all of Aerin's perfumes. They are EDPs that perform more like EDTs. This one seems to linger a bit longer than the other two I own, but I do have to reapply every 3 to 4 hours. I don't mind terribly - it's really very beautiful.

A very pretty jasmine - it's not heavy, cloying or animalic. I love all things jasmine, so this was a must for me, great for spring and summer and best for daytime (in my opinion, I don't think it's strong or interesting enough for a night out). This gives me imagines of a beautiful woman in a pretty white sundress, she has an elegance to her that seems to be extremely rare nowadays. And while I might not be that put-together, I'll still enjoy wearing this in the warmer months.

A gorgeous, special jasmin fragrance. I love this! it smells very similar to j'adore. It is absolutely stunning. I love wearing this before going to bed. But it smells just soo lovely, that I don't wear this when I go outside. I can't find the perfect occasion to wear it. It smells like a honeymoon or wedding night. It needs a special and intimate occasion to me. I love this. The most beautiful jasmin I have ever smelled.

This is a radiant jasmine blend accentuated with honeysuckle and tuberose. There's nothing beachy, heavy, or dirty here. It's light, airy, and refined, and so bright, it's almost solar. Smells beautiful right now, but I think would be fantastic in the summer, preferably while wearing a white gauzy sundress, strappy sandals, and a big straw hat. It's very appealing to me in an elegant, ladylike way that I just love.

I spritzed this while at the mall yesterday. Since wearing Calvin Klein's Beauty, I have realized that I really love the smell of jasmine. This perfume is gorgeous on, this is definitely worth exploring further. I sampled a number of perfumes yesterday and this had one of the best dry downs with my chemistry. I really loved this one. Very nice - particularly after this wears awhile and blends with the chemistry.

Ultimate creamy, predominantly jasmine (sambac) with tuberose and honeysuckle following behind, an all-year-round kind of scent. Everything is in balance. Not too indolic, not too refined. Soapy but even that stays subtle. The creamy and smooth nature of it projects that full, lush white floral bouquet feeling in every way.

This perfume smells like heaven. Best jasmine perfume I've tried so far. Floral, creamy in a super classy and feminine way. İt was a blind purchase by reading comments on fragnatica but it definately worth every penny. I can't describe how much I like it. So bad it's not produced anymore...

Light and has depth, smells like the real flower and intoxicating on skin. This smells like a picnic in a secluded clearing, in the late morning after a night of rain. If a woman wore this I would probably swoon. I don't like florals on myself but I will make an exception for this one.

Gorgeous, fresh, natural-smelling, perfect jasmine. No indoles, nothing weird, just the right amount of sweetness, superb quality. Perfumers don't always have to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes it's a wonderful thing to take something simple and do it perfectly. This is sublime. 10/10.

I'm an oriental girl at first whiff... but this Jasmine is so unlike what I typically think off when I think Jasmine... it's simply clean and beautiful... a very pure scent in a gorgeous bottle headed by a woman who is really making a style mark. Love it!!!
