Jason Wu

This perfume was a delightful surprise find for me I loved the bottle and I loved the scent at first sniff I think with just one wearing that I can say this will become the scent of this summer for me . It is a cool refreshing scent it has a calming motivating aspect to it is a minimalist fragrance of simplicity but it is not boring it has a multifaceted movement about it .It calls me on a visceral level as if it would journey along side me and it would bring out the best in me but at all levels a quiet cool energising walk in early morning a busy elegant graceful day a calm relaxing creative evening The fragrance is very subtle becomes a part of you while wearing it no-one noticed I was wearing it today until they hugged me and then they commented they loved it but I was aware of it all day The ingredients are quality and the price is worth it I found the jasmine and LOTV dominated during the day and then musk in the evening It lasted well I can still smell it as a skin scent and I have been wearing it for 10 hours now .It is so popular among my friends they have all been borrowing it .My daughter has been wearing it to work . When I bought it, it came in a 100ml and a 30 ml pack .I gave the thirty ml to one of my friends who loved it so much and she couldn't afford a bottle she was so happy she cried

In my own preference I love it. Is very fresh and slightly fruity, this Is what my personal nose perceives. At first I smell something citrusy and now I know that is from the bergamot that is not listed here. I feel that it has a similarity (not comparable) to Omnia Coral of Bvlgari on it’s aroma but is not Identical neither is similar, is just what my nose perceives. (I don’t say is a dupe or that have the same dna, is was the first thing that came to my mind when I smelled it; about 3 minutes of being on my skin) I also find it some similarity to Burberry Touch because of the pepper, but Jason Wu is more light and less complex than that one, and here I feel is more light and simple. But this fragrance starts off a bit strong, later in it diminishes in strength and becomes more accentuated on the skin. Like “skin, but better”. At first the pepper is quite noticeable, but after a few minutes the fig and florals softens the pepper note. It feels just a bit powdery or soapy and in my skin sits very clean, fruity and floral. For me is perfect for spring and summer.

I blind purchased this bottle at a deep discount from JCPenney Beauty. It honestly appeared slept on, and I wish now that I’d purchased more than one bottle. I was leaving a review for Gucci Memoire, which is supposed to invoke memories, and admitted that although great, it’s not nostalgic for me. In fact, the scent that gives me inexplicable nostalgia is Jason Wu EDP. Not that I even knew about this scent or could have worn it back then, but something about it brings me back to circa 2009, living in Portland and working as a fashion intern and for Nordstrom. I saw a comparison to Burberry Touch, which was a popular scent sold back then, and also comparison to Aerin Lauder scents, which were also a mainstay during that time. It has almost a lemongrass vibe (which I know isn’t a listed note). Link pepper, peony, and fig are always hits for me. The longevity is good. If I spray before work, I can still smell it toward the end of the day. Projection is moderate unless you spray too much.

This is such a lovely fragrance! If you're a fan of jasmine, this smells amazing and just intoxicating! Very long lasting for a floral fragrance and has a similar vibe to Chloe EDP, like a cousin almost with the powdery laundry detergent feel. Lasting power is great for a floral, it lasts quite well on clothes and lingers. Reminds me of my childhood, growing up smelling my neighbors jasmine growing on the wall which is the exact description that inspired Mr. Jason Wu to create this fragrance, reminding him of the jasmine he smelled growing up in Taiwan.

Just like the bottle, the scent is simple, clean and elegant. Very understated, yet beautiful. I immediately get the jasmine from opening to the ending, peony dancing in and out. The pink pepper is really just enough to keep it from being too soft, giving it a kind of fresh, soapy element. It's an extremely familiar scent, though I don't know where I've experienced it before... maybe from an actual soap or deodorant? Except this is more round than sharp and leaves kind of an elegant breeze behind. It's Avon's Haiku with more jasmine. Love it.
