White Jasmine & Mint

Okay so I'll comment briefly on this as I didn't consider it for myself but rather my girlfriend for her birthday. Now that I've bought this and peony blush I have decided to give them to my mum for Christmas instead as they're probably more up her street. I had a discussion with the lady in the Jo Malone boutique and she said this was not a big seller and judging by the comments here I'm not surprised. Personally I thought it was lovely. For me it doesn't have the sweetness of jasmine or the waxy, soapiness of white florals like tuberose or orange blossom but something about it was really gentle and soothing. Perhaps it's the freshness of the mint which is easy to perceive without being too minty and makes this fragrance pleasant. I like it for a woman and even a man could pull this off if he wanted...not me though. Great scent and underated in the Jo Malone collection in my opinion.

I followed a beautiful, expensively dressed young woman all over a supermarket in Japan because she was wearing White Jasmine & Mint. The trail it leaves is like sparkling white pristine light. It has a fresh crisp herbal opening with a hint of green citrus on top of a soft transparent yerba mate tea base. Matter-of-fact and poetic at once. Longevity is pretty good, and the sillage is polite but unquestionably present. This is a very unique, palate-cleansing herbal fragrance. It is casual and at the same time very personal and specific. I bought it because I wanted to be sure I could smell it whenever I wanted to...whenever I needed to. Just in case.

Coriander!!! Yay!!! Awesome ingredient to keep mint from smelling like mouthwash. I usually find jasmine too much in-your-face but the spices here make it so unique and enjoyable, fresh but without being too simple. I combine this with herba fresca with extra mint and with blackberry bay for a summer scent with better longevity. In my 12th birthday I was in a JML store and the lady there combined red roses and jasmine mint on me, with a fin hint of orange blossom, and im telling you this because this fragrance and such combination is timeless and for all ages. Love this.

I too, imagined a beautiful summer night when wearing this perfume. Maybe somewhere in India, with heady white jasmine, which is pure and simple, layered with luscious notes of mint. It's a perfume to please oneself, not so much for others (ie projection is not as important for this perfume). I wear it to bed, and it brings me comfort and relaxation. Sometimes Fragrantica does not do justice to Jo Malone's perfumes. It is a sold love from me. 5/5.

i got my bottle of thissss!!! i so love it!!!!!! ^_^ addiction =p lol, we don't have it here in the Philippines... so i purchased online through my good friend in UK =) expensive including postage but it's worth the pay =) oh BTW, i also have the Lime, Basil & Mandarin in 30ml. to mix with my full bottle of WHITE JASMINE AND MINT... deesh... it's one of the extraordinary scents I've ever had :)
