Indian Night Jasmine

I bought this today from The Body Shop after it aroused my interest when I smelled it in the bottle a few weeks ago. Like the other reviewer before me said, this is a well-blended perfume, but I can definitely pick out the sandalwood, jasmine, and orange blossom notes when I wear this. I'm very glad that I can't smell the violet leaf note because it usually stands out too much on me and ends up destroying my enjoyment of the fragrance that contains it. I think my natural body scent smells kind of like patchouli (which is why patchouli-based perfumes are my enemies!), so this comes out smelling very warm and slightly spicy on me. I put this on about 5 hours ago, and it still smells actively fragrant. I would expect a pure perfume to last at least 7 hours, because they are supposed to be longer lasting anyway. The drydown of this perfume is really nice- it's equal parts exotic and fresh/clean. Sillage is moderate to heavy during the first 2 or 3 hours, and then becomes moderate afterwards. Indian Night Jasmine is the only Body Shop perfume oil I like from the ones that they have in stock right now. I find the rest of the oils quite bland and generic. I just wish that they'd release Moringa and Brazil Nut in perfume oil format- why won't you, Body Shop?! Verdict: I love it!

The perfume that started my perfume collection (after i got my own that is, for a few years i just used mu mums haha). It was my signature for so many years but unfortunately they changed it. Before 2014 it smelled like an addictive and intoxicating jasmine and orange flower/sandalwood. It was absolutely best at summer and fall, the heat really amped the addictive musk this gave off. I always got so many compliments. It was unique and then quite adult, a very sensual and in-drawing scent. After 2014 it just got washed out? It doesn ́t last at all and it smells very watery and not at all seductive. At first me and my mum thought it was just a bad batch but alas this was a permanent reformulation confirmed by body shop. I still have my old bottle just so i can smell the lid sometimes. Not that it smells much anymore but yeah, the difference is huge and that is so sad. I miss it a lot at summer.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Quite sweet smelling as well as floral and sweeter than the discontinued neroli jasmin which is a slightly more orange smell but definitely not bitter orange. Unfortunately I had a strong reaction to this perfume and it made me cough a lot and tickly throat (neroli jasmin didnt). Its not overly floral and I wouldnt say it smells like a garden or field. Probably better for younger people...or my age or younger. Someone I know doesn't think it smells particularly like jasmine. I think it does somewhat. Although classed as a night time perfume or at least has the word night in its night, its not a really deep, dark strong smell. I'd think of it as more of a daytime perfume. It doesnt last very long and you will need to keep spraying it throughout the day if you want to smell it.

Reminiscent of my trips to india and heady scents present in the atmosphere, heat, incense, food,and a wide range of flowers and aromatics. this night jasmine has a balanced and warm scent and a touch woodiness that counters the intensity typical of jasmine, the presence of sandalwood emerges in concert with the violet that provides a fresh green scent contrasting and complimentary to the jasmine, after an hour the tenacity of the jasmine has evolved it has longevity and just the right presence to solicit compliments - sillage is about 4hrs I will seek out fragrances that include violet, however, the balance and partnership with other ingredients is a challenge to work in fragrance composition.

This is what I believe to be the best Jasmine fragrance ever,Jasmine can be a note that can be a hit or miss,mix it with the wrong notes and you end up with a overpowering and even stinky type of perfume but mix it right and you get this sweet and pretty white floral scent,Indian night Jasmine is a perfect example of getting a Jasmine perfume right,there are none of the stinky undertones and you just get that lovely warm sweet scent which makes it feel like summer in a bottle,I will wear this all year round and have gone through numerous bottles but while I have found other nice Jasmine perfumes this one still remains my favourite and a perfect example of what a Jasmine perfume should be.
