Tea Rose Jasmin

This was a real blast from the past for me--I used to work for Perfumer's Workshop at the height of the Tea Rose craze at Bloomingdales, about 1977-1980. We had the Perfumer's organ of 64 different essential oils in various sizes and Tea Rose had it's own separate line of products. This scent is based on their night-blooming Jasmin oil and was also sold as a separate line of products. Eventually they launched their Pret-a-Porter line of EDT's and purse spray perfumes based on the most popular oils--Freesia, Violette, gardenia, Lilac--(Freaking AWESOME lilac!!)Amber, Tiger Lily, French Lily, Lily of the Valley and Amber--which also eventually got it's own line. Oh--and a wonderfully sugary and pure White Jasmin NOT based on any of the oils, that I wore at my wedding! I had the pleasure of getting to know, slightly, the actual perfumer behind Perfumers' Workshop, the brilliant and very eccentric Howard Molyneux--Yes, one of THOSE Molyneuxs--(he was prevented from using his last name on any products he created because the name had been copywrighted by his relatives.) He was a genius when it came to scent and could reproduce any commericial fragrance that had existed since the 30's, when he had worked with actress Constance Bennett on her cosmetic line. I watched him re-create Patou's Joy for a customer using his oils. I tried to do that for months and could never pull it off! He was a tiny man with an eccentric style of dress-(very dandy-ish) an English accent and absolutely the world's WORST toupee! This new, re-packaged version is not as lasting as I remember the EDT of this scent to be, although that could just be my post menopausal nose. Still, I was trilled to smell it again--it always suited me--Howard really understood florals! Unfortunately, Howard was screwed out of this share of the ownership of the company by a sleazeball liar and thief who will go nameless here. He went to his reward in the early 90's and I still wonder what ever happened to his astonishing collection of antique perfume bottles--he displayed and sold them for a while at Bloomies. I'm am sure that heaven is a much better smelling paradise since he got there! Cheers, Howard!

As with TPW-Tea Rose, TPW-TR Jasmine is a gem; a natural smelling jasmine soliflore, with good performance, at a very affordable price. I think the “tea rose” in the name just indicates that this line is for soli-notes, but I think it’s a bit confusing. And although rose is in the notes I cannot detect it at all. This is jasmine from Earth 🌍, not the extra-terrestrial jasmine brought by Alien 👽 ( I love that one very much as well). Like with Tea Rose representing the whole rose bush, TR Jasmine represents the whole jasmine shrub; the fresh leaves 🍃 accentuated by the LotV, various stages of jasmine from buds, to full bodied blooms (anchored by tuberose), to those starting to wilt (some indolic nuances detected), down to the stems and earth (woods and amber). Fantastic. Honestly these two products from TPW should put many designer and niche houses to shame.

Wow! Beautifully executed jasmine! I also find it similar to Lush Lust, but this is less sweet and more naturalistic. Lush is neon candied jasmine, and this is jasmine blooming in your garden. Lush also has a bit of vanilla which is absent here. I would give Lush the edge in terms of performance, but the earthy quality of Tea Rose Jasmine makes it more wearable. I personally adore both, and if you are a jasmine lover you can’t go wrong with either. I often use Lust (spray and solid) for layering and will layer with this too but it is perfectly lovely on its own. Unfortunately, this is getting hard to find. I luckily came across a sealed 4oz bottle very inexpensively.

The name may be a little confusing. This is the Jasmine flanker of the fragrance Tea Rose. It is definitely Jasmine forward (or a Jasmine Bomb as fragrance community folks might say). I don’t get rose on my skin at all. But just like Tea Rose is a very natural smelling rose perfume, this is a very natural smelling Jasmine perfume. Perfect for jasmine lovers. I suspect this would also be great for layering a jasmine note with another fragrance, but I have not tested that out yet personally.

I walked into TJMaxx and found a small 1oz bottle. How thrilling since I've wanted this fragrance for a long time. I hadn't smelled it but was familiar with the other Tea Rose renditions. I then scoured every TXJaxx and Marshals in the greater St. Louis area. No luck. I did find it online and immediately bought two bottles. It is a great summer perfume. A paradox scent both fresh and light and yet strong.

if you enjoy twining's jasmine tea....buy this....its literally that smell all day....lil feminine floral..but if thats your taste...grab a bottle..so cheap for 120 ml....its ridiculous. its like waking up on highlands on a fresh morning with dew on grass and peaceful and quiet and you enjoy a sip of your jasmine green tea served hot....wakes you up nicely :)

A perfectly indolic, dry jasmine. Not the fake representation of the flower. But jasmine blooming at night. Musky and perfect. Who knew PW does jasmine as well as they do rose? There's a little tuberose in here. And, this is closer than their rose fragrance. It doesn't project like a monster. So pretty.

I love this scent. I purchased this at TJMaxx for $4. I also have the Rose fragrance. I typically layer these fragrances with stronger perfumes like Thierry Mugler's Angel to tone it down during the day.

The opening is like a very green version of Lust from Lush. However, that disappears very quickly and turns into a green tuberose...similar to the original Michael Kors or even Olene from Diptyque.

If Lush Lust is a wild woman, and Perris Jasmin de Payes a seductress, then this is the demure younger sister with a sunny personality who's just a little bit naughty. The jasmine here is very refined and I think more in line with the jasmine in Jasmin de Payes then Lush Lust. It's beautifully blended with LOTV and subtle shades of Tuberose and Rose, on a lovely sandalwood base. There's a lot going on here, but jasmine is in the spotlight. It's bright, versatile, and a touch indolic; just like what is found in nature. I just spent two months traveling on my friend's sailboat throughout the Bahamas and the Caribbean and had the opportunity to smell many varieties of jasmine grown in situ (gardenia and stephanotis too), and the jasmine here smells identical to what I've smelled in nature. This is much more natural to my nose than this brand's Tea Rose perfume, and because it's not as potent, much more wearable too. If I wanted to give someone an idea of what this reminds me of, (outside of what I had the chance to smell in nature), it would be the same jasmine as in Perris' Jasmin de Payes in how natural it smells, and it shares the brightness of Aerin's Ikat Jasmine, which uses the fresh floral honeysuckle to add lift and brightness, while this uses LOTV, which fulfills the same purpose. Whereas Lush Lust and Jasmin de Payes are more suited to night wear, I find this more versatile and would be just as appropriate in the office as it would be for a night on the town. While this fragrance won't announce your presence, people will know you arrived. And you will be noticed.

The lily of the valley top note is pronounced, and well blended at the same time. You must seek it and isolate it; it so quickly melds into the composition.The middle note of tuberose is strong, but does not overwhelm or destroy the jasmine. The jasmine is pungent and takes on a "warm" characteristic. The cedar, as a middlenote, is a smart addition-as it creates a base-in the middle notes-to calm the tuberose, and secure the jasmine.The special touch of cedar here also adds to the depth of the composition, not too woodsy-a touch mossy and cheery-combined with the lily of the valley,the two create a vibrant green sensation, wich lasts for hours. Perhaps the sandalwood and amber are creating the very light musk sensation-but they not discernable individually. The sandalwood and amber only arise at the very end, rich, but not powerful. It seems to be-in a bottle-of what I could imagine to be a woodsy area, with fresh dew or rain; lily of the valley and jasmine in bloom; warming in the sunshine on a hot day. I am a Jasmine lover, and I purchased this on line, unsniffed, for a very reasonable to low price.I am pleased and satisfied with this perfume seleciton.

I purchased a 1 oz. bottle on a whim at Marshall's for $5 (even if I hated it, $5 is a small price to pay). This is GORGEOUS! It is all tuberose and heady, tropical gardenia on my skin; the rose is very much a supporting player waaay in the background. It smells more expensive than it is; a single spritz or spritz and walk in to the mist is more than enough (or you risk smelling like a screechy, cloying bug spray mess). Tea Rose Jasmin is an EDT that wears like an EDP with its monster sillage and longevity. This is a fun, inexpensive addition to your fragrance wardrobe if you're a tuberose/gardenia/white floral lover. Tea Rose Jasmin is lovely layered with Tea Rose; it lightens the heavy, heady rose in Tea Rose, and the jasmin really shines. . Don't let the dated, unimaginative packaging fool you- this is a gem! Update: I have found myself reaching for this lovely scent more and more. It makes me feel like I'm getting away with something because it's not possible for something so beautiful to cost so little. Who thought a $5 perfume could be such a winner?

Beautiful sweet green jasmine. It is clear and clean as someone previously mentioned, and it's not cloying. I love this jasmine. I find some jasmine perfumes can knock me out but this one is not overdone. Sometimes I layer this with overly sweet perfumes I have and it layers very well, making the sweet perfumes lighter and wearable. It is super value considering the price, I heard that in the US you can find it at very low price. Worth every penny. Impressive. It lasted more than 3 hours on my skin and the lovely smell stays all around me nicely.

I am not liking Tea Rose Jasmin. I was expecting a clean and soapy soliflore Jasmine. I was hoping for a jasmine green tea. I am sad. Very sad! Tea Rose jasmine smells like White Shoulders! Tuberose explosion. I feel like someone was having an estate sale and I there was expired perfume spilled on furniture and it is ruining everyone’s day and appetite!

I'm so disappointed in this perfume! I fell in love with this company the moment I first tried Tea Rose. Back when K-Marts were all over, I scored an after-Christmas sale on a set of Tea Rose perfume and lotion. Wow! Such concentrated rose! Love at first sniff! And the bottle was so big, I still have half left in that original bottle purchased more than 25 years ago. When I saw this fragrance I thought it would be great based on how much I love Tea Rose, so I blind bought it. What I didn't realize is that apparently I like jasmine on others but not on myself. I sprayed it on and immediately it was like my head was put inside an air-proof helmet filled with aerosol plastic and there was no "clean" air. Bummer! I'm sure this scent is going to be great on my sister - she LOVES jasmine and it loves her. Apparently I need to stay away from scents that are primarily jasmine since my chemistry won't play nice. Unfortunately for me, this will limit me from many very nice fragrances. Another bummer! So...My recommendation is two thumbs up if you like jasmine on your skin, but definitely don't recommend if you have the same relationship to jasmine that I have. Cheers!

I bought this thinking that jasmine would be dominant, but to me it’s indolic because of prominent tuberose. I have several tuberose perfumes, so I feel this is somewhat redundant though it does have a slight jasmine to it. From the reviews, I thought I would get the wonderful aroma of jasmine blooming at night. I used to grow jasmine. And this is not it. I hoped the dry down will be cleaner and have an aroma of jasmine, but it really was not. This smells like Royal Hawaiian Tuberose. In my view, I have not smelled many jasmine-heavy fragrances, but Zara’s Elegantly Tokyo is one I find quite close to the real jasmine, it is very lovely; plus, it is also not expensive. For a higher-end brand, Aerin’s Ikat Jasmine is quite elegant.

Does anyone know if this is the same as "Jasmine", sold in the 80's, with a new name? Or is it different, with a new addition of Tea Rose? Thanks!

It's basically impossible to believe that The Perfumer's Workshop could make decent perfumes, given their prices. And then of course there's the embarrassing Samba series, which I continue to steer very, very clear of--perhaps because of the unintended associations with something like "twerk" (a word however which I learned only last night ;-)). Or perhaps because the bottles just scream out: "Low-brow juice factory--may contain carcinogens". A while back, I bought some Tea Rose, chuckling to myself that the bottle cost the same as a sample. TPW got the last laugh, because it ended up being a quite decent rose perfume! So, yes, notwithstanding the massive managerial error of judgment that the Samba collection represents, somehow TPW does make decent perfumes, at least in the case of the soliflore series. Tea Rose is beloved to many a perfumista (there are of course a few detractors, but what's new?) and now, following the sage advice of my perfume pal Aromierotici to "just buy it", I have discovered that Tea Rose Jasmin is an equally decent jasmine composition. There is lots of lush and natural-smelling night-blooming jasmine here, so if that is your nose's desire, you really cannot go wrong with a 1 ounce bottle at the price of many a niche sample: $4.99 at TJMaxx. These bottles are out there to be had, as Aromi and I live in completely different parts of the United States (he in the Midwest, I on the East coast), so a bottle of this eau de toilette will likely be yours if you mosey on over to your local TJMaxx or Ross Dress for Less *ASAP*. There was only one bottle at my store. (Sorry fellow Bostonians!) Maybe this is available at scented monkey or some other shady gray market emporium, but I have not seen it anywhere before now. What can I say about the perfume, to be a bit more precise? Aromi found a lot of tuberose, and I do find some here, too. To me, however, Tea Rose Jasmin is well named because this analogy holds: Tea Rose: Rose :: Tea Rose Jasmin: Jasmin This is mostly about jasmine, and it's the kind I love. Not pseudo- or Alien jasmine; not hedione; not jasminoide. No: this is the real deal. It's possible that it's not created from extracts--somehow the jasmine of Grasse seems unlikely to have found its way into this economical little bottle--but it smells nearly as good as Molinard Jasmin, which I'm pretty sure really is made of jasmine from Grasse. From where else might it come? Molinard is in Grasse! I find the Molinard a little creamier, a little less green, and less sharp as well. Still, all things considered, Tea Rose Jasmin is a winner, even if you want to use it simply to amp up the jasmine in another perfume. If you already know that jasmine soliflores are not to your liking, you're probably not even reading this review and so do not need to be discouraged from buying TPW Jasmin! Thanks for the tip, Aromi: you were right! xxxooo

Fragrance Review For Tea Rose Jasmine Top notes lily-of-the-valley rose Middle notes tuberose, jasmine cedar Base notes sandalwood amber If you can't stand Tea Rose Perfumer's Workshop this is a nicer alternative. This is not a rose. It's jasmine. Beautiful jasmine. It is not indolic or musky like Alien Thierry Mugler jasmine. It's a silky creamy jasmine. Fragrant but not to strong. This is a lovely white floral fragrance which nevertheless feels as realistic as walking into a flower shop in the the way as Tea Rose Perfumers Worskhop. But instead of inhaling the scent of roses you smell only white flowers: jasmine, lily of the valley and tuberose. Above all the jasmine and tuberose stand out. But it's also got that little lily of the valley I like. Spring time floral fragrance. The dry down is amber and sandalwood. Very nice. This deserves more attention and more praise. It's a well made floral fragrance.

In the tradition of The Perfumer's Workshop's excellent soliflore Tea Rose, this Jasmin flanker smells natural and true to its name. There's a pert green top note of stems and muguet, followed by lush jasmine, with hints of dry tuberose humming in the background. It's fresh and sweet, and reminds me a little of Vanilla Fields. Tightly crafted, very direct, and of shockingly high quality, Tea Rose Jasmin delivers the goods and gives you much, much more than you paid for. The only drawback: don't expect tons of complexity, for this is a very simple composition, and you're basically going to smell like jasmine for six or seven hours. Liking soliflores, or being skilled at layering are prerequisites here.

Tea Rose Jasmin is a delightful little perfume for all jasmine lovers. Top notes are a little 'jammy,' meaning they are rich and sweet as the jasmine is shadowed by tuberose. However, as it develops, the brightness of the rose emerges, adding a green, almost lemon quality to the heart notes. Cedar is brilliant here, lending its woody/green apple richness to the base while preserving the creamy jasmine. I don't find this perfume overly strong, although I do recommend using a light hand because too much could be a bit overwhelming...and jasmine seems to be love it or hate it perfume note. Layers well with floral or citrus perfumes and is also beautiful on its own.

This one's all jasmine, no rose, not even a tuberose. Also a little dust in the mix, not powder,the fragrance isn't bad by a long shot. Plus it's got staying power. It's cheap but it doesn't smell cheap. I've had one bottle of this for years and didn't use it. So today I tried it and found that my memories of the scent weren't accurate. It's definitely jasmine, which isn't one of my favorite scents. A little spritz of this does the trick, more would be cloying. In short, there's nothing wrong with this. A good value, a nice scent, nothing great but perfectly usable.

On a card it is very bug-spray indolic. On the skin it is less so. Without wearing them side by side, I would say this a Lush Lust dupe. Not a jasmine tea or jasmine rice, but a vibrant perfume soliflor. Be careful with the sprayer, a little goes a long way.

why only three reviews on this wonderful perfume? i have this one and tea rose which is absolutely a great stuff without emptying your wallet. this is a more wearable version of carolina herrera without the civet note.

Pure jasmine. Very clear and clean, as if you're standing among them in the evening. Not indolic, not sweet. Clearly impressive for the price range. Moderate to high longevity and sillage. Excellent for layering.

Linear, realistic jasmine, with a bit of tuberose. It's clean and refreshing, good for summer or as a layering scent.

A very straight forward gardenia with jasmine. Use sparingly!
