Notre Flore Jasmin

3rd review for this little gem. The more I wear Notre Flore Jasmin the more I think it shares similarities with Chanel n.5. Of course, I'm talking about similarities not about a complex and unpredictable scent like N.5! Anyway Notre Flore Jasmin smell fresher and greener but it's also very intense and longlasting on my skin. I also detect similar notes with Givenchy Organza but much less sweet and opulent. And also it smells like a fraction of Amarige! It's linear Middle East jasmin oil with complimentary bergamot in the opening, then a total floral experience. I'm happy that lily-of-the-valley is not so obvious. I find it disturbing in fragrances when it overwhelm other notes. Here it keeps good and add only a bit of floral freshness. Cedarwood and Musk are almost invisible, but they keep the who le blend stable. Unfortunately this perfume is a little bit headache inducing. After 3-4 hours I smell a faint resinuous edge coming from cedarwood which is not bad, but doesn't fit my bf's tastes. He told me it smells "old". I don't take him into account. Anything smells "old" to him and I think he means "musty". I bought this for about 55 euro 75ml bottle. It's a more honest price and quality is not inferior to big names.

Have you ever walked through a garden and stopped suddenly because something smelled so arresting that it literally stopped you in your steps? Every time I smell L'Occitane's Notre Flore Jasmin, that is exactly how I feel. Heady and beautiful, it is the absolute most beautiful jasmine perfume that I have ever experienced. For me, it smells like a "true jasmine." Notre Flore Jasmine is sweet without being cloying, and smells like a (an Egyptian) jasmine flower blooming. It has great sillage and lasts for hours and hours on me. Even after a day of wearing it, at night there is still a lingering scent of jasmine on me. I always receive compliments from men when I wear this scent. I think this is a fragrance for women, not girls. It is a grown-up fragrance. Of course, like most perfume lovers, at times I get bored wearing the same fragrance everyday so admittedly I do experiment with other fragrances. But I always come back to this scent, it's really *that* well-crafted. I LOVE this scent, and the travel gold compass with the three tiny bottles is such a great value at $40 USD. One of my all-time favorites.

There are different notes in this scent but the outcome is mostly JASMIN! A total jasmin experience and a very good one! It's less fresh and clean than Yves Rocher Tendre Jasmin or even Bulgari Voile but not as embarassing dirty as fabulous AT Maroc pour Elle. It contains Egyptian Jasmine which is thicker and more smelling than European one, but thanks God it's not very indolic! It smells very similar to the small bunches of jasmin they sell in Tunise on the street! It reminds me of Middle Eastern women, sunny roads and little markets! If I hadn't bought Tendre Jasmin (more suitable for summer day) I would buy this one. I ended up buying the "Pomander" in the shop, very cute pendant and the sweet SA sprayed the inside ball with Notre Flore Jasmin EdT :-) It's definetely a kicking fragrance!

When I want light, simple, transparent, almost aquatic jasmine .... this is what I go to. It smells like fresh jasmine after a light summer drizzle. Almost soliflore... starts with light citrus, then jasmine all the way thru. Oh...drydown is rounded up with a hint of warm amber. I love to spray this lightly on my shirt (not a white one for obvious reason), and it will last me all day. I even still manage to catch a whiff when i hang my freshly washed shirt. lovely. (I used soap nut as my detergent, so , no strong detergent fragrance to compete with) Too bad I don't think L'occitane make this notre flore line anymore. This line is my favourite!

I had gotten a sample of this when it first came out and kept it in my bag for months and months. It certainly had great lasting power! Simply put, this is a true jasmine fragrance.It is bright penetrating and just lovely. A great summer fragrance I think. EDIT: Simply cannot find another jasmine fragrance I love as much as I loved this one!! This jasmine smelled so fresh and bright, but also old, like it was pure oil right from some jar that has been stored away in ancient Eqypt as valuable. So sad it's discontinued!
