Eclat de Jasmin

2015: I do now smell the flowers in this one; just often not right away. By the end of the day when I wear it (or next morning v faintly), my hair will smell like roses & jasmine wherever the hair brushed against my neck. Still mostly a patchouli scent for me otherwise. Really great perfume. 2014: I'm noticing that there are some perfumes where, even if floral notes are there for others, I just don't smell them. Not sure why that might be, but it's true for Anais Anais, Cuir de Russie and Éclat Jasmine. To me, Éclat Jasmine is all spice, v light amber, woods and v.v. light musk. Maybe a tiny, fleeting whiff of citrus at the start. Regardless it's gorgeous and very attractive; keep smelling my arm. Probably just as well my partner doesn't wear scents since this one would mean I'd be sniffing him all the time. Longevity is significant on me. 12 hours easy and lingering a little the next day. I suspect sillage might be pretty big. I was amused by the review that called it bitter, associated it with powerful women and advised against young women wearing it. I guess I'm not young, but if I were still, those would all be reasons for me to buy it on principle.

I do not have a developed nose- can't really identify the various notes, but I really like this scent on me a lot. It is a classic scent, like the blends of old. I have a tendency to go for chypres, but also want a bit of warmth/spice and this satisfies. Honestly, I like jasmine a lot (always go for that as a top note) but I don't get the typical sweet, white floral that is usual in heavy jasmine scents. I have been desperately looking to replace my long time scents (Molindard de Molinard, Miss Dior (orginal), and Joy that have been changed too much). This along with a few others ( Fiori di Capri, Le Parfum de Therese, and 31 Rue Cambon) are coming close. Definitely recommend it as worth trying for others.

One of the most tame jasmines I've tried. I agree with brumbarche, this has a very distinct, although mild, barbershop note that carries through the whole thing. Musky, understated, very polite. I had to blind buy it because it's discontinued and I have an unfulfilled obsession with jasmine, and I don't regret it. I also agree with diamonddreams, this is a bitchy (but refined) fragrance. Mostly a skin scent, it seems to last forever though. Perfect date night perfume. 8/10

Eclat de Jasmin by Giorgio Armani is a beautiful Jasmin fragrance. That's right JASMIN! I grew up with jasmin bushes all around me, and this is JASMIN. I don't get the reviews that say they don't smell jasmin. Probably never have smelled it at all. All I get is jasmin and a bit of citrus. It makes me very happy when I wear this beautiful fragrance. Longevity is superb with high end ingredients. Beautiful!!

A MASTERPIECE!!! This is how you do Jasmine in high-end perfumery. I bought this the same year it launched. Would you believe that I only wear it probably 3-4 times a year because it is one of my most beloved perfume purchases. It has gotten better over the years and has an out of this world longevity and sillage. One of the best!

This fragrance astounds me in its complexity. One of the very few I have ever tried that brought forth so many emotions. While many others regard this as happy and joyful, I find it to be cold and very mysterious; not for “nice” girls or boys. Very icy in it’s trail, a perfect boardroom bitch scent. Love it

I am hoarding the last bottle (of3) that I bought. This fragrance devours, seduces and beguiles me. It is constantly beautiful and does not morph into anything sad or soapy. It is the ultimate of the four that I own, Amethyste, Jade, Pierre de Lune and this unadulterated Jasmin of the highest quality.

I've been hoarding my last few mls. I went through 3 bottles of this more than ten years ago. It's love for me, I wore it today. I don't know why I swoon at this, something in the way she moves.

This is my go-to spring fragrance! It's fresh and floral but not overly sweet. The jasmine is really prominent, and it lasts all day on me.

Stunning and absolutely perfect. I love it.

Silagem curta, odor docce mas,perfeito!!!

I just received this a few days ago. I allowed it a few days to settle down and wire it today for the first time. It is different than any other jasmine I own. There is something sheer and fresh about the opening into the middle. I detect that jasmine clearly, but everything that can be suffocating and heady has been replaced, leaving the essence of the flower in it's place. I understand why people have commented on how natural it is! There is something that comes across as minty in there - maybe a particular type of patchouli? It is what gives the composition freshness. To me, if seems like I am sitting in my bedroom and there is a small bouquet of jasmine in my living room. I can smell it and I know it's there, but there is distance. I am having a very difficult time isolating any other notes - the blending is amazing. This is easily unisex and would smell wonderful on a man. It's quiet with no loud projection, but noticeable. It's like they sent the notoriously loud and headstrong jasmine and sent her to finishing school. Don't get me wrong - I love heady jasmine. I just don't really need any more of them. This is so completely different from the rest of my collection, and is truly one of the finest fragrances I own. I can't comment on longevity yet, but it's been several hours and I can still smell it around me like a soft aura. Brilliant!

This definitely says floral chypre, but I think it's quite musky, with a very slight touch of old fashioned face powder. It suggests a well dressed woman who enjoys elegant, sophisticated perfume. Yet it's not a sillage bomb and has a contemporary edge thanks to the patchouli note paired with plum. Labdanum is possibly what lends part of the musky grounded quality too (it always reminds me of horse hair) but what becomes quite distinct in Eclat de Jasmin as it dries down is a very nice spicy/peppery warm carnation. Though I find this a little 'tweed suit' or smart handbag for my taste, it's quite a lovely perfume, I'm enjoying the complexity and warmth. I'd see a confident, mature and well dressed woman wearing this, someone womanly and comfortable in her own skin. I prefer Pierre de Lune from this series for my own taste, but this is a winner too, for the right woman! Sillage and longevity moderate. On the test strip you smell much more jasmine, but that fades quickly on skin

Ooo this is lovely! I have an iffy olfactory relationship with jasmine, but this is a beautifully warm variety of it that mixes perfectly with the undercurrent of labdanum they've added here. It reminds me of a scent I've yet to put my finger on (will update if I figure it out) a lot. The warm/cool balance here is on point between the fresh opening of jasmine blossoms (the more natural feeling variety found in i.e. Nasomatto's or Terenzi's vs an Alien-esque heaviness) and the amber-y labdanum base I can smell. Those are the only 2 notes I really get, and even so it's gorgeous.

I like this fragrance, but Jasmine? The name is very deceptive. I get no rose or patchouli either, both are favorites. Bergamot is the first thing that you smell, maybe lime, but no lemon. Then the Vetiver comes in and sits softly on the skin. A clean, Provencial soap smell. Elegant and would be nice on any age woman or man (Again, the name & pink stone send the wrong message). I wouldn't have gotten this if I knew it was so "Green", but it's nice for a Spring or Summer day. Maybe followed by something more floral.

While I still think that this is a lovely, fresh fragrance with a definite unisex vibe, I find that it pulls too far towards masculine on my skin. I realized I like it very much, but would prefer to smell it on someone else, preferably more masculine. Thus, my husband gains another fragrance for his collection. If only he shared some portion of my interest in fragrance. Nevertheless, it really does smell great on him, and I find it very sexy!

Really green Jasmine. Not in your face. Refined and elegant. Moderate sillage and quite long lasting.

Although I love jasmin and plum, here they are mixed with patchould and I also smell some alcoholic beverage and that combo doesn't work on my skin. Very flowery and thick, just too suffocating for me.

Whre is the jasmin ???? this is the saddest perfume ever. unwearable.

O.0 There's no jasmin note in this ... In my childhood we had a forest with lilies of the valley [damn name, we call it just May flowers] which was a very fantastic place, imagine a hill with trees and these lilies. We had lilac trees all over the place. My granddad grew roses behind our house, and on the edge of house we had a jasmine bush. It is not exactly the 'jasmine', but our East European sort of jasmine I guess. Still, it smells effing divine and I was constantly assaulting that bush for bouquet purposes. Eclat de Jasmin has a bit of this memory. Although it doesn't smell of how live flower smells, it is kind of concentrated. I do smell a hint of labdanum and bergamot here. It is old fashioned type of perfume, it's heavy, bold and ... well smells of jasmine more the more it dries down, side notes get lost in blend and finally I can imagine crispy white petals and great, divine floral smell. Try try try it.
