Spring Jasmine

This is a breeze of pure jasmine right in your face. I have to take a deep breath and enjoy it. Truly humble and beautiful flower that sometimes you have to find deep in the plant... Love it so much. It does not last much in me but almost four hours would make it, and the bottle is tiny so I can reapply the fragrance without fuss. I was so curious to try it but wasn't brave enough to buy the full bottle, so I went small in a set of different fragrances under the umbrella of Shanghai Tan. Spring Jasmine came together with Gold Lyly, Oriental Pearl, Orchid Bloom and Rose Silk, looking really cute all wrapped in one golden box. Surprised after 1 hour of how well the jasmine popped out and how great was the atmosphere around me. It remind me the times when I was a girl, walking early in the Spring nights in Trinidad: an ancient, gorgeous city of Cuba, talking to my Grandma and learning from her; she loved fantasy, fairytales and many times she invented it to entertain me and keep alive the conversation. Almost all the gardens of that city have an exuberant jasmine plant in full bloom, and they start to release that wonderful smell at night. What a feast! Incredibly beautiful...Spring Jasmine of Shanghai Tang brought that memory from the depth of my heart and I am so grateful. I think those nocturnal walks with her shaped my soul and contributed to who I am now. I will love you forever my dear Grandmamma...

An excellent Green Jasmine scent. A very realistic Jasmine with leaves and the vine. It has a citrus undertone throughout with a beautiful steamy musk reminiscent of laundered cotton that is being sun dried. There is a warmth and humidity throughout the entire stages, yet it remains crisp and clean. The sort of sauna like wetness/steam emitting from aged wood is depicted beautifully in this frangrsnce. This scent evokes an East Asian forest/jungle, warm humid and damp on a partially sunny day but the trees and bamboo grow so tall it filters much of the sunlight. The trees and bamboo emit steam from the heat and humidity. There are exotic Jasmine vines growing next to the cliffs along the edges of the forest. There Is a small quiet waterfall leading into a small water hole at the end of the forest under the cliffs, and the heat from the stones surrounding the falls emmit a most beautiful vapor. You decide to jump in and relax whilst enjoying the scenery and sounds. The dry down lasts hours and is beautiful Jasmine wet leaves wet wood and warm steamy musk. I absolutely recommend this. It is a very zen and relaxing fragrance, spa like. Perfect for summer and spring humid and even rainy days.

aw, one of the most authentic and beautifully captured scents representing the true blossom of Jasminum officinale. Yes, there is a big difference scentwise between officinale and Jasminum sambac for example (I have both plants in my garden) The first smells fresh, sweet and incredibly creamy - which I adore. The latter one has this waxy, often kind of rotten smell so many people dislike. 'Spring Jasmine' smells almost exactly like the real fresh officinale blossom, creamy, lightly sweet, soft and always a little fresh. Shanghai Tang managed to capture this scent wonderfully, and it does remind me of one of Houbigant's newer creations called 'Essence Rare'. The true jasmine note is almost identical, but Shanghai Tang captured it even more authentic by keeping the slight freshness and creaminess of the blossoms alive all through the staying time of the scent on skin. It is an elegant, very feminine, creamy, soft blossom scent, melting into the skin and smelling clean and alluring at the same time. Very sadly I found out that Shanghai Tang has discontinued all their fragrances. I was glad I found a new sealed bottle of it lately and will treasure it for sure

A great Green Jasmine perfume with a citrus undertone and a lovely steamy musk. Throughout the phases, there is warmth and humidity, yet everything remains crisp and clean. The dry down is gorgeous, with Jasmine, damp leaves, moist wood, and warm steamy musk. It's a treasure with a spa-like aroma. Perfect for humid, wet days in the summer and spring. 'Spring Jasmine' smells almost like to fresh Officinale bloom, creamy, gently sweet, delicate, and always a touch fresh. A stunning combination of sensuality and delicate grace!

Among jasmine-centered fragrances, Spring Jasmine and Alien are queens. I love them both. This delightful jasmine is the total opposite of the jasmine found in Alien, though. Alien's jasmine is regal, powerful, sharp, aloof, and unearthly. Spring Jasmine is still very much noble, but she is warmer, creamier, and friendlier, with a touch of greenness; very natural and approachable.
