Indian Jasmine Perfume Oil

A very lovely spring/summer scent in a bottle, for sure. At the time I sampled this last year, I found it unlike anything in my current collection. I wound up leaving the store and couldn't stop thinking of the pink pepper note for the rest of the evening. It almost drove me nuts when the scent on my wrists finally wore off. I had wanted to keep smelling the dry-down for as long as possible. Wound up buying the travel size, and was very happy with it. It lasted me up until fall, which I found good timing to phase into autumn scents. Admittedly, I went through it fairly fast. It's a very quiet, easily dissipating scent-- a terrible combination when you want to continue enjoying it. I found myself keeping it close so I could reapply for the guilty pleasure of simply smelling it whenever I liked. As far as the profile goes, I would say there wasn't (and still isn't) anything particularly 'show-stopping' about this one, especially it’s weak longevity. But its simplicity is easy to admire. (I disagree with those who've commented on it smelling similar to Burberry's 'Her', however. When I was curious about finding a longer-lasting version of this oil, I sampled Her and found the two very different.) Now, several months later and returning to spring/summer months, I wound up sampling IJ again to see if my mind was changed on the profile. Unfortunately, I might have outgrown it. There's something now a little cloying about it, and I'm a little disappointed that the initial impression of the scent won't return to me. Whether a difference in formula, or a change in my nose, I couldn't say. But gosh, was it lovely on the first whiff. I love when that happens. If my nose and heart can find their way back to this one, I hope I can find a perfume with a similar and longer-lasting composition.

Smells delicious. Suitable for everyday casual wear or for special occasions because it's pretty inoffensive but it's just so lovely!! This is very much juicy berries with a jasmine undertone. It's lightly sweet and juicy. Lasts for about 3-4 hours on me with intimate to moderate projection. Definitely overpriced (not great longevity or sillage, scent is fairly basic), but it smells so good that I'm willing to pay for it. Editing at a later date to add that this is remarkably similar to the Burberry Her opening. Indian Jasmine is more linear, it stays a fairly juicy sweet berry and jasmine, perhaps loses a bit of the juice in the drydown. I can't smell Burberry Her's drydown since I an anosmic to the Cloud/Her/BR540 DNA. So while this does not have the Baccarat/Cloud/Her drydown, it smells very similar to the juicy sweet floral berry opening of Her. The main differences between the Her opening and Indian Jasmine are that Indian Jasmine does not have the distinct strawberry note, and is more subdued/softer in general.

I like several of Nest’s perfume oils, but this is my favourite by far. The jasmine in it is pronounced, but, as others have noted, well-balanced by the fruits and pink pepper. It’s very soft, feminine, inoffensive. Sweet, but not dizzying or candy-like. The sillage is very intimate — this is an oil, so it will not necessarily diffuse as much as other perfumes will — however, the lasting power is eternal. On the skin, or on clothes where it has rubbed off, the scent lingers on and on. On clothes, in particular, it is impressive. I wore this perfume to a hockey game last April and had my favourite jersey on. I have not worn the jersey since, but with the new season starting, I took it out, and it still smells of this perfume.

There's a note in jasmine that I get here and also in BBW Sea (jasmine and eucalyptus oil) that smells just like watermelon bubblegum. I love it, and it's a nostalgic smell that evokes a carefree summer, but it also feels a little childish. That's why I took a little time to purchase....surely I'm too grown up for such things, especially at a premium price. But then I thought, why not? Why should I splurge on sophistication and skimp on joy if joy is really the goal? Life is too short for that nonsense. This is a joyful scent, plain and simple.

I blind bought this when my previous perfume (I wear one at a time) was pulled from the US. This is absolutely gorgeous. Definitely sweet but not headache sweet. It’s juicy and floral and gives a timeless, delicate vibe. I like scents that sit relatively close to my skin and I don’t like my perfume to enter a room before I do. This also lasts longer than my previous perfume. This is my new signature scent. When I like something I buy multiples. I tried it for the firs time two days ago and I now have 10. I’m obsessed.

I agree with everyone else; the drydown smells a lot like Burberry Her. I tried the body mist and it didn't smell like it on drydown IMO. But the oil - definitely. I'm also surprised melon is not in the notes. To me, it smells a lot like Calone melon at the opening (which I like). It also reminds me of Clean Reserve H2eau Water Lotus. Overall I like it a lot.

My current favorite fragrance! In my opinion, this blows every other Nest perfume out of the water. Unfortunately, I cannot smell it on myself for nearly as long as random strangers can. And that's only a couple hours. Addictive nonetheless. It smells like a fruity candy that I can't get enough of.

The perfume oils from Nest are meant to be layered (in my opinion, anyway) and this one is stunning when layered with Giorgio Armani Sì! I work in fragrance at a department store and I have a habit of making my coworkers smell perfumes I'm trying on and this combination was a universal hit :)

I’m so bad at describing scents, but i like this a lot more than i thought i would! It smells like spring-time in a bottle. It’s really clean and reminds me of a spa, or when you go to macy’s/sephora and the air just smells clean and like expensive perfume lol

It's very floral and indolic. I am getting a hint of watermelon somehow though. Like the freshness of calone or a watermelon ester that gets used in watermelon-flavoured candies. Sillage is moderate, longevity is about 12 hours on me.

This is delicious, ripe berries and jasmine, so beautiful, and it layers with other fragrances really well. The fruit is not candy, but real ripe fruit, juicy. Probably the best of the 50 plus perfumes I have recently tried/bought.

Lovely scent. I use the travel roller. The jasmine can be overpowering at times, so I wouldn't recommend applying too much. It's strong and lasts a moderate amount of time.

I'm starting to become such a fan of the nest oils :) this one smells perfectly sweet and clean... when I wear it, I smell like I have been slathered in expensive lotion.

This is my everyday scent. I oscillate between a few different perfumes but I wear this so often this is the closest to a signature scent that I have.

beautiful i grew up drinking various different types of green tea. my favorite was jasmine green tea. this reminds me of a warm cup of fragrant tea.

A smooth fruity jasmine. Delicious

I bought the discovery set of these oils in the hopes that they may add a unique smell mixed with some of my other fragrances. I also hope it extends the life of some. Jasmine was one I didn’t think I would try because too much Jasmine makes me sick. I read a review that said the red berries really smooth out the jasmine edges... boy were they right. So far, this is the favorite of this set of nest oils with Turkish rose close behind. I haven’t tried the coconut yet. This set does not come with the sandalwood oil🙈. Jasmine is the first one I actually see myself buying a full size bottle of.

The Nest oils are great for layering or even on their own. This one starts off a little “much” for me, and I love Jasmine, but it dries down to a lovely quiet night blooming jasmine smell. I don’t get much of the other notes. The dry down reminds me of the jasmine in Donna BiR and shockingly I do get some Burberry Her vibes? That’s what I chose to layer with the oil and they go together well. This one doesn’t last forever on me or project a lot but that is okay too.

OK this stuff does smell absolutely amazing. It’s like the best of floral and juicy berries that’s out there right now however, it doesn’t really stay on your skin for long. I got this because I thought that a perfume oil should be stronger than EDT or EDP but this one while smelling lovely just doesn’t last that long. I wish it lasted longer or maybe they offered a scented lotion or something I could layer with it.

Apparently this perfume has jasmine, berries, and pink pepper. I believe none of it, because I was surprised by each of the ingredients. On me, it smells like warm, cozy, exotic juice- like someone bottled a lush, tropical garden under a scorching sun. Everyone who smells me says something different, which makes me think it might be a personality test in a bottle. It is especially comforting on a rainy day.
