Clair-Obscur (Jasmine)

I had expectations that this blend of grandiflora jasmine and night blooming jasmine would be a little provocative, especially after reading some of the reviews, but the petitgrain cleans up much of the indoles and tones down the sexiness, making this a nice daytime option. The problem is the performance is abysmal. Within 2 hours it is a skin scent and so light from first spray that it is barely noticeable. Even on clothes it disappeared fast. I used almost a 2ml.spray sample just testing it out so I can imagine running through 100ml bottle in no time. At the price of a bottle, it's just not worth it.

I really love this one in many ways: it's longlasting, it's true jasmin and not some sort of cheap artificial imitation, it's elegant, it's not too overwhelming as it would just be too easy when you wear jasmin. I must tell this is finally the jasmine I was looking for. Patou's Joy, Creed's Imperatrice Eugenie are wondeful scents (love and use both) but they have not the real jasmin I was looking for. If you want a scent that smells like the flower, then do not hesitate and go for this.

I just received this; so, I have not given this a thorough testing. And, well, COVID, so I don't know about how it projects (although, I can smell it on my wrist). All of that said, this is an absolutely stunning scent. It is airy and light, but assertive. It's captivating; I have not stopped sniffing my wrist since I sprayed it.

Beautiful! What a great, realistic capturing of jasmine. This is heavenly. It is indeed light, airy, ethereal, so it may be fleeting, but I would wear this every day.

Blind bought the beautiful black bottle hoping it would be the Jasmine perfume I was searching for . I’m looking for a light , fresh Jasmine nothing indolic or cloying . Not the 80s heaviness and in your face performance . This perfume is not sweet on me and I agree with some reviewers that it’s a dry Jasmine . Not sure if the pettigrain causes a nutty base but it’s there for the entire scent . Though I read that pettigrain gives off more green leaves/citrus notes. I don’t get that at all maybe it’s what makes the Jasmine light and fresh . I found a similar fragrance that has that nutty basenote and it’s Van Cleef Gardenia Petale . This fragrance though is very well made , oozes quality , it’s not overpowering , nothing sickly and thick , more of a day scent . Some reviewers mention it’s a big , loud Jasmine and I don’t get that at all! It started out as quite a potent , sublime Jasmine but it didn’t stay that way on my skin for very long. It’s actually very gentle and light. However , I’m happy to include it in my collection .
