Jasmine In Tangerine

I just purchased this at Barney's in NYC for 220. plus tax. The top notes are gorgeous, and make for a beautiful clean floral-crisp but slightly sweet- on the paper that I spritzed. It is a citrusy white floral pleasing to those of us who love feminine florals which lean toward white flowers. As I was traveling by airplane that day, I did not spray on skin, which was a mistake. As the crisp floral citrus dries down, I am left with slightly salty jasmine atop a strong musk and soft vanilla reminiscent of many other scents. I was also left with a headache. This is a beautiful fragrance which should definitely be tried on skin first, and wait until dry down before making your purchase, as it becomes a different scent and that is what you will smell like for the rest of the day. Tenacity is good, sillage is dependent upon how much you spray, but could be anywhere from slight to perfume bomb. Worth a try for those who love to collect many fragrances, but not likely to be a standout signature fragrance, as there are many fragrances that smell similar for less money.

When I first sprayed this fragrance on it smelled very strongly of jasmine with a bit of citrus. It was rather cloying for the first few minutes; the alcohol was strong and the overall scent was very "perfumey." Once I got used to it, it was rather pleasant. The jasmine has been most prominent throughout wearing it. I'd describe this fragrance as very feminine and elegant. I feel it is not the right fragrance for me though, as I don't wish to smell so strongly of jasmine. It seemed to have moderate silage and is rather long lasting. It has sofened and faded a bit over four hours; the jasmine is still front and center, but more powdery. Overall grade: B. A pretty scent, but not what I want to smell like on a regular basis.

This is on first spritz warm and sweet. The jasmine is very vibrant and overpowers the tangerine, which is reduced to occasionally peeping through in the background. However it is blink-and-you-miss-it. It is reminiscent of the scents my mother used to use in the 80s, and I find it quite cloying. This would have been nice as a super fresh summer daytime fragrance, but the lack of balance in the citrus unfortunately does not achieve this. I can't imagine what it brings to the party to be honest. On dry down it is one note sweetness.

There are some fragrance notes missing according to atkinsons1799.com website: Pink Pepper & Mandarin Essence Sambac Jasmine Absolute & Ylang & Osmanthus Vanilla & White Cedar Hope this helps!

It is something that is lightly sweet (no jasmine, no tangerine), weak and fleeting, can't say anything better about it.

Something must have happened to the tangerine in my sample, it was completely lost. Way to sweet. The only good thing about it is that it washes off real easy. The first of my favourite perfume house Atkinsons, that I really don't like. But if you are a dark, mysterious kind of girl, you might love it.

this is just beautiful....i love jasmine! and this is just a perfect balance with the tangerine....i can't stop smellinga my front! i was worried that with a citrus it would add a sort of over ripe smell to it-like when a piece of fruit sits in a fruit bowl too long...and jasmine tends to have that indolic scent to it anyways-but no....this is the perfect balance of citrus and floral...not to ripe, not too sweet...no soapy mix either. it is sexy without being too much for day, also .... something else that is a very difficult thing to balance, IMO. i am looking forward to seeing how it wears when fall comes.....

I love this one and find the notes posted in kimbery_75's comment accurate. Projection fades down in a couple of hours but I get very good low-level longevity with jasmine-sweetened vanilla about 10 hours later. The type of fragrance where you keep thinking...damn, what smells so good?...and then I happily realize it's me...it's always been me. Perfect for the heat too.

A very good, classy feminine floral. Bears a strong resemblance to Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle Dior and D&G The One (the first presentation from 2005). White flowers with a blast of citrus and a beautiful subtle base of cedar, that gives depth to the composition. Suitable for all seasons and for formal occasions.

Not an inexpensive bottle of perfume. I purchased it sight unseen. I liked the sound of Jasmine and Orange coming together. I do like this fragrance very much but it nearly disappears on my skin a minute after I spray it on.

Similar to D&G's The One but not quite on par. Mostly jasmine and I do not sense tangerine. A special event type scent.

The one by dolce and gabbana but better. Smells classier. Yes there’s vanilla in this.
