Sex & Jasmine

I purchased a sample of this fragrance directly from the house, and I was impressed by the thoughtful presentation. The samples arrived carefully packaged, complete with a handwritten note from the creator and individual scent cards for each fragrance—a true A+ for attention to detail. The scent has a vintage vibe imo, likely due to the ambergris note, while the jasmine shines beautifully. In the current cold weather, the sandalwood and patchouli are more subdued, giving way to a salty, white floral aroma with the slightest hint of green, likely from the geranium. However, when indoors or near a fire, those warmer notes come alive, blending seamlessly with the others. The craftsmanship is evident, with each note harmoniously contributing to the overall experience. After a few hours, the fragrance settles into a salty jasmine dry-down that is absolutely stunning. A beautifully balanced creation, without a doubt. Editing to add when wore this to work for the first time the first thing my coworker said when they walked into our shared office was I smell sandalwood what a great compliment

Sex & Jasmine is fantastic. The name and description kind of worried me, but the animalic nuances here only make the fragrance smell vintage. Which is right up my alley! It doesn't read "sex" or "animalic" to me, just sexy and floral and nighttime. Someone has voted that this smells like Agent Provocateur but I actually think it smells closer to L'Agent. It has that similar cozy sexy vibe, sweet and purring, fuzzily sensual and lazy. I don't smell the individual notes, I wouldn't be able to pin this down as a jasmine perfume. It has the floral full-bodied feel that many vintage glam perfumes have, the sparkling jasmine of a vintage Chanel perhaps. I do smells something mineral if I apply a lot, I guess that's the ambergris, but again, it's only noticeable if you really overspray, otherwise all the notes just kind of blend together in this really comfortable way. Stunning.

Intoxicating jasmine with some indoles but not overdone. An accord of what seems like tobacco. Ambergris and vanille which comes out as amber. Animalic notes from ambergris intensify after the first hour and it just gets better. Not ground breaking but this is a beautiful jasmine with just the right amount of other notes to make it shine. A very wearable 'almost' soliflore. *re review. I did not do this scent justice. It has now reached my top 3 favourite jasmine fragrances. The jasmine is very realistic and beautiful. The ambergris gives a very sensual effect and creates a perfect balance. This will be beautiful all year around but the warm weather truly makes it bloom. A slightly oriental floral.

I love this scent! It's mellow, romantic, and supremely relaxing. It's not quite as sexual as the name implies, but is still deeply sensual-- more like a massage from a beau than anything penetrative. There's nothing of the wild, sweaty, midsummer's night rut that I would think of from the name. I actually get more of that from Fin de siècle from this house. I like to take a shower, put on a fluffy robe, and put this on before I go to sleep. It opens with quite powerful, almost animalistic jasmine before it warms into something beautifully demure and slightly powdery. When I wake up in the morning, I can still smell just a trace of warm, woody vanilla. Yum!

Beautiful jasmine fragrance. At first it smells like a green jasmine tea that has been a little bit too infused, with a certain bitterness to it. This disappears in the dry down though, leaving only creamy jasmine with just enough vanilla to give it a hint of sweetness and opulence. The ambre gris gives it a warm, slightly salty and skin-like scent that intensifies after the first hour or so, making it beautifully intoxicating. Nothing groundbreaking but it's very well blended, elegant and sensual. I understand why some people would find it a little too sexy for an everyday perfume, but personally I would wear this anytime.
