Jasmin de Nuit

la mia pianta di gelsomino sul balcone è zeppa di fiori, anche quest'anno, nonostante il mio pollice tutt'altro che verde. è una di quelle varietà che fiorisce a maggio, per pochissimi giorni: dopo il tramonto è profumatissima e mi ricorda inesorabilmente e proustianamente le sere estive della mia infanzia. è per celebrare questo piacere passeggero che oggi ho scovato un profumo al gelsomino... epperò io ho grandi difficoltà, come capita per profumi a base di altri "fiori bianchi", a tollerarlo, se non in casi veramente eccezionali. questo accordo è uno di quei casi: si apre con note fiorite, appunto, di gelsomino, che perdurano preminenti il tempo di una sniffata, per poi passare in secondo piano. nel contempo si fanno sentire essenze speziate: cannella e anice, in prima battuta, poi un tocco di cardamomo. il fondo è piuttosto classico: note di ambra, sandalo e patchouli. l'aspetto veramente inusuale di questo profumo è che il gelsomino non solo sta in sottofondo, timido, ma si appalesa ad ondate, rinfrescando di volta in volta il cuore speziato dell'accordo. insomma un gelsomino per chi non ama i profumi al gelsomino. molto buono.

Vintage bottle. If you have ever smelled vanilla powder, this is exactly how it smells like .The opening is a warm crème brûlée/custard with the jasmine,white florals and rose blended on it ,and then on the basenotes the classic Chanel n5 sandalwood, vanilla, oakmoss, vetiver,Ylang Ylang and patchouli but very discreet,nothing loud or vintage,masterfully blended. To me,the dry down smells very straight forward vanilla powder which is very different to the smell of the vanilla pods commonly used at home in our kitchens,its more like the smell of just home made cookies, with an organic deepness, jungle density ,heady, pure, raw, untouched, seductive, complex. Vanilla and Jasmine as you have never ever smelled before. Jasmine de Nuit is a dark,rich,narcotic,sweet,gourmand scent,sexy and full of character, addictive. Night time.Unisex. No resemblance with Musc ravageur. Masterpiece.

I've been lusting after this since I first sampled it. It's my favorite of The Different Company's line. Jasmin de Nuit is indeed a different Jasmin perfume: it's not specifically a floral, but rather a skillful blending of sweet spice with an undercurrent of Jasmin swimming through it. It isn't particularly strong on me, but it does last a decent amount of time. My skin eats up fragrances, so I like the longevity (3-4 hours...and that good for me). I'd wear it anywhere without fear of clearing the room. I'd describe it more as transparent, not heavy and opaque, if that makes sense, and I get no powder as others have reported. I see myself wearing it all year long, even during the summer. I think of this scent as ageless. For me, this one is worth the price of a full bottle, and maybe even the purse-size refill set.

I had this years ago, I’ve since finished a bottle and decided it was time to have this beauty back in my collection. This is a differnt take on jasmine, it’s floral but warm and spicy but not oud or pink pepper spicy, it’s smooth and rich. The cinnamon comes right out front mixing well with the star anise and the floral notes. Honestly I love this! It’s mature but NOT Grandma, it’s a sophisticated floral. I absolutely love jasmine, living in Los Angeles I loved the night blooming jasmine scent in the evening, it was magical. You can spray this with quite a few sprays and not choke any one, it dries to a beautiful floral. Sillage is arms length but just so freaking beautiful. You will get noticed. PS cardamom is one of my favorite notes and it work well in this. It’s a 10/10 just the best!

Jasmine, cinnamon and fresh bergamot to start--such a luminous, warm, bright floral. Then, a touch of indole surfaces as Jasmin de Nuit warms on the skin. Anise and cardamon really come out to play in the heart--cheeky, earthy and spiced. A little soft orange keeps it playful but warm and sultry throughout. The drydown is lovely--sandalwood, velvety patchouli and amber with hints of citrus and cinnamon remaining. This final phase reminds me a lot of Givenchy Organza Indecence. Unfortunately, not a whole lot of jasmine remains, and the naughty indole I was initially teased with is nowhere to be found. Overall, Jasmin de Nuit is a beautifully composed and heart-warmingingly sensual fragrance, but not one worthy of the flower's namesake.
