Pure Jasmine

Woody oriental jasmine with a syrupy and smooth nutty touch and some candy sweet indolic florals, thanks to the neroli accompanying the champaca and mugane. The woody jasmine is very reminiscent of Alien EDT jasmine minus the warm, sharp ambery effect and the mandarin orange, so it's not as oriental as Alien. It also is similar to the jasmine in Varens D'orient Amethyst minus the very oriental sharp ambery and balsamic orange-rose combo, but the nutty almond there is similar to the nutty effect of the pistachio in this. Compared to these fragrances, Pure Jasmine is more youthful and wearable, much smoother too because it doesn't have amber, rose and orange/mandarin. The patchouli is non-existent on me. The sandalwood is intense and kinda dry in the opening so it's giving that cashmeran impression of Alien, but again not as sharp. The pistachio - jasmine - sandalwood create a balsamic effect similar to the pistachio - magnolia - cashmeran of Girl of Now which also lacks the mature balsamic rose so it's a fresher more youthful oriental scent like Pure Jasmine is due to the bergamot - much better than the pear in Girl of Now btw. This is the reason I bought the big bottle after trying a sample, because it has all the nice elements of nutty jasmine oriental scents without the sharp amber or the heady rose - orange combo which is a standard oriental recipe seen in Poison Girl and Fleur De Femme La Rive that utilize the almond accord too like Varens d'orient Amethyst. This and Girl of Now which has almond and pistachio, are the most youthful in this oriental nutty genre. Pure Jasmine is not as nutty and as oriental as Girl of Now as it lacks the amber of cashmeran and Girl of Now has a different white floral game going on. It's affordable with a nice sleek bottle and I like the orange-pink color of the juice.

Divine! Passionate, historical, sensuous. A delectable honeyed jasmine. You’ve spent the day by the seaside at Antalya, Turkey and you’ve just showered with your handmade jasmine soap bar, you put on your whipped pistachio body cream, you take a stroll through the old streets of Kaleichi. You stop at a shop to try their gourmet jasmine honey soaked baklava topped with pistachios. As the honey drops down your lips you walk through the old bazaar and you smile as the sun peaks through during the war midday hours. Your beloved grabs you from behind lifts you up and kisses you. This is Love This opens very fresh, soapy, then immediately the nutty pistachio and florals begin to peak through. As it slowly makes its way to the dry down it becomes sweeter, honeyed. It retains this very feminine powdery/fruity almost like a fine milled soap quality to it that peaks through ever so slightly. Now the jasmine begins to get stronger and stronger. Mixed with the pistachio and the vanilla it turns into this delectable honeyed airy gourmet baklava scent. Gourmet, but not edible. You just want to hold it and smell it forever. A jasmine honey soaked gourmet baklava. It smells like love. Love, when everything in the world becomes more exciting and your love makes you feel free as a bird. It reminds me of the love between my husband and I. He adores this on me and it’s quickly become his favorite (he is a big fan of jasmine ofc) A stunning honeyed jasmine that will remain in my collection for a long time. Perfect for summer, late spring and early autumn days and nights, or on holiday to somewhere warm. Projection is arms length or more if a wind happens to pass. You get whiffs of it throughout the day. Lasting power is phenomenal-it lasted 6 hours on a hot summers day spent mostly outside.

Pure Jasmine, a true misnomer. There may be jasmine in it, but it is overpowered by vanilla, wood and rose. Straight out of a fresh bottle, you'll get blasted by a sickly sweet, cooking grade sugary vanilla. I had it compared to a cheap Bath and Body Works spray. Fear not, this beauty gets better with age. After 4-6 months on the shelf, the vanilla softens and you can pick out pufts of sweet, heady rose on top of a woody base. The pistachio shines in the Spring, particularly after your bottle has been shelved until the vanilla settles. Wear this in the Summer heat, vanilla and rose are sharp. In the cooler months, the vanilla seems richer and cozier, and you'll get more of the woody note. I prefer this in the Winter. This one morphs from sweet to powder to wood. This is gourmand, but it's a mature gourmand. I can best describe it as a powdery, woody vanillic frag. The drydown is absolute heaven, like dry driftwood on a beach maybe; sweet, but with a powdery-woody depth. And the bottle? Simply gorgeous, heavy, luxurious, needs a prominent spot on the dressing table where it can be admired as a fine art piece. Alas, I've had my bottle for three years, it's truly at it's best now that it's softened and the powder and wood are deep and rich. I'm down to the last eighth of this liquid gold. It's second bottle worthy, and third...I must never run out!

When I smelled this in sephora I thought it smelled like white chocolate, lol. Honestly it's such a beautiful fragrance it's hard not to like it, it does give me a slightly white chocolate vibe but it's not as strong as it was when I first tested it. It's floral sweet. It's an inedible gourmand of sorts. It's very likeable and fit for any situation and any weather, imo. The smell lingers in your nose for a long time. While I'm not a huge fan of florals I can really appreciate this for not being just a straight up basic jasmine floral. I can see this being very attractive and likeable to men if you're looking for something like that. The lasting power isn't the best. My mom couldn't stop smelling it and even called this perfume a drug, so I would say this perfume is a win in my book. (Update: tried it again and the white chocolate came through so strong this time around, I loveeee it now!)

Pure Jasmine is a tropical lei around your neck — salted pistachio and bergamot zesting into lush jasmine and champaca, like creamy white florals laced with nutty sweetness on a sun-warmed beach. The opening sparkles with fresh bergamot lift and subtle pistachio crunch, blooming into rich jasmine dominance with hints of neroli and a milky coconut vibe for airy, vacation-ready joy. It dries to cozy gourmand: vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli wrap the florals in powdery warmth — evoking sugared donuts or light lactonic cream, elegant and wedding-worthy without tipping into cloying territory. Year-round versatile with a niche-like polish, it's underrated bliss for floral lovers. Lasts 6-8+ hours with soft, radiant sillage — perfect for effortless, compliment-drawing days.
