Tendre Jasmin

Heartbroken when the Odes line was discontinued, I was given a glimmer of hope when the Secrets of Essences were released! First, the warm incensy homage to amber: Voile d'Ambre, then the rich almost gourmand tribute to the Queen of Flowers: Rose Absolu. My absolute favorite "essence" is Iris Noir-so dark and mysterious, yet cool and rich! I always wondered why they never released a jasmine perfume... Then, in 2008, I was offered the entire full size set (EDP 50ml, body wash 200ml and lotion 200ml) of TJ for less than half-price by a phone operator before it was available worldwide! Like the answer to a prayer, I ordered it and absolutely adore it!! This entire line takes single notes from perfumery and develops each scent with other complimentary notes. Here, jasmine is spotlighted, adored and celebrated! Perhaps the most purely floral of the Sd'E line, Tendre Jasmin (Tender Jasmine in the US) begins light, crisp and fresh with citruses, light airy mandarin and a very (yes...) tender jasmine. Fresh and very reminiscient of early spring, this has the feeling of a cool sunny breeze, and a light floral aura. I was expecting something very creamy and sensual from the beginning, and this actually has a nice subtle opening that reminds me of jasmine on the vine just beginning to open. As the heart develops the Madurai (Indian) jasmine becomes more prevalent. Somewhat creamy and very sexy, it is kept aloft by the powdery and subtly refreshing orange blossom. Here, it matures a bit and opens the fullness of its blossoms, receives the warm sunshine and gives off its delicious aroma. Some jasmine soliflores can be TOO much, this one never is; and it is actually very well blended and absolutely pure and beautiful. As it dries completely, the sambac kicks in (one of the strongest jasmines) and gives you a very full sense of the mystery and velvety wonder that is Jasmine. It never gets "heavy" though, as the sunny yellow pompoms of mimosa keep it vaguely green and rather fuzzy and comfy. This is, by far, one of (if not the best) scent YR has released in a long, long time! I still prefer the Iris Noir (as I like my flowers dark and mysterious, with an aged or incensy drydown), but I know a work of art when I see (or smell) one. Bravo! to Mr. Jacques Cavallier on this wonderful frragrance. If you like REAL jasmine, you will love YR's Tendre Jasmin!! Perfect for warm summer nights, it is an enchanting fragrance that will not disappoint... Sillage: good then closer Longevity: very good Overall: 4.5/5 Regardless of the fact there are three kinds of jasmine in this juice, it stays very fresh and never really gets annoying. Each and every layer of this perfume was (obviously) painstakingly planned and balanced by a Master Perfumer. This is nothing like Alien (or Alien Light) as that has a very woody almost oriental drydown and there the jasmine is creamier (like real butter) and richer; where here it is more ethereal and sensual. I love Mugler's Alien; so I am NOT bashing it... But, calling this :"Alien Lite" does both scents an injustice. Both are jasmine based; however, this is very much its own scent (and quite different from Alien, though the central accord is similar). I find most of the reviews in "The GUIDE" to be just ridiculous...I have read many better reviews here on Fragrantica!! :-)

One of the first perfumes i ever owned, back when i was 15 or 16 Love from first sniff Delicate, pure and joyfull Made me feel and smell like a put together young woman, i was not into sweet gourmand perfumes like my friends Tendre Jasmin is the only perfume ever i bought again and again and again. I get bored easily with perfumes and scents and i usually struggle to finish any bottle, except for this delicate beauty Tendre jasmin is the perfume that introduced me to my favorite flower or note in perfumes which is jasmin, that i can find in any of my fav perfumes now Longevity and sillage were very bad and almost non existant, but back then it was exactly what i needed It got discontinued (like a lot of yves roches products) but i've found Tendre Jasmin's little sister, but bolder and stronger: GUCCI BLOOM GUCCI BLOOM starts with creamy tuberose and ends with the exact note of jasmin you can smell in Tendre Jasmin, fresh and pure jasmin Sillage and projection are amazing in Gucci Bloom, perfect for the woman i am now (maybe too much for the teenager i was)

I love, love love Jasmine--all kinds of jasmine from all parts of the world! I must have over a dozen different Jasmin fragrances, from Perfumer's Workshop's heavy, rich night blooming type, to the original Tuvache's Jungle Jasmin, Floris's classic Jasmine, to hippie jasmine oils, to Love's Musky Jasmine flower--which is what this Yves Rocher scent reminds me of. This is about as soft and subtle a jasmine as I have ever smelled--the citrus notes brighten it and the minosa softens and greens it. This is a possibly work appropriate Jasmine--which my Perfumer's Workshop one is NOT! That one is heavy and lushly sweet and seductive. I love it--but not for an office. Like gardenia, another rich, sweet warm weather flower scent, Jasmine is powerful and should be approached with caution--and this scent is elegant, soft and ladylike. Perhaps it is not as long lasting as some of the others, but sometimes that is just what you want!

I got my bottle last month and ever since I started wearing this brilliant perfume (of which I wasn't expecting much, to be honest) I have been deeply in love with it. I have found a perfect example of what is called "skin scent". Consequently, it does not have sillage at all (which is convenient for everyday wear because it carries the message of 'individuality' without making noise, without obtruding). However, the ideal perfume for me is the one with moderate sillage and richness, complexity so there are days when Tendre Jasmine does not manage to satisfy that deep urge from inside of my being. :D I would have liked it a bit more provocative, inciting, with a certain something very subtly sharp. Clearly not an opulent perfume. It stirs the senses, but it does that in a sensuous, tender, languid manner, like a voluptuous, heated, yet so very warm and languorous woman would do.

‘Summer Breeze makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind’ - Summer Breeze, Seals & Croft. That was the song playing in my head the first time I tested the fragrance in 2011. Bought a bottle on the spot, and I have loved Tendre Jasmin since. It’s a gorgeous watery jasmine. Quite simple soli-flore, but natural, and just so joyful, fresh and innocent, it’s hard to resist! Makes me feel like a virgin bride surrounded by jasmine bushes on a breezy summer evening. There is a tender sensual aspect to it that emerges once it mixes with your skin chemistry. Perfect for spring and summer. I always get compliments on it. Very feminine aroma with good sillage. Longevity is about 5-6 hours. Love it, always have a bottle ready when the weather starts to warm up.

I must be one of the lucky ones because on my skin, this perfume has both sillage (2 arms length) and decent longevity (at least 4 hours). I got it in 2019 as a gift from a Belgian friend who told me that Tendre Jasmin was her favorite perfume and showed me a drawer full of back up bottles. The citrus burst is realistic and lasts long enough alongside the white flowers peeking through. It has natural extracts in its composition, such as jasmin Grandiflorum absolute, Sambac jasmin absolute, essential oils of lemon, mandarine and orange, Mimosa absolute and orange blossom. I understand that each fragrance has its own identity depending on each individual skin pH, but saying that this smells like bad breath is a bit too much IMHO.

I had a 30ml bottle of this one for free from YR for by birthday ( last year i had flowerparty), cool ! This smells just like the jasmine tea i usually have at my favorite sushi restaurant ! It is light , simple , soft and relaxing . For these reasons , it can easily be a "sleepwear" perfume and i usually wear it for this purpose , because it's too cold nowadays for such a fragile perfume . I'll use it as " dayperfume " when it is spring or summer . ( don't know how it reacts to sweat however ) As mentioned by other members the lasting power is quite bad unfortunately :-(

Gorgeous scent! I actually didn't exactly know what jasmine smelled like by itself - had only caught it mixed with others - so was happily surprised by how much I like it - I guess I'm just a white flower fan (gardenia, magnolia, jasmine ... etc.). Just a note to those who are disappointed in the scent - keep in mind that differing body chemistry will change the scent. Try it on a different day. If it still doesn't work for you, then unfortunately it's a chemical mismatch. I've had my share of them, which scents like Yria and Ode a la Reve.

This is my all time favourite perfume! I've been using it for 3 years now, and I've got crazy lot of compliments, even from strangers on the street. Jasmine is my favourite scent, but for me most of the perfumes got it wrong and made this amazing flower smell like a synthetic car re-freshener (even expensive brands). Fortunately I found this and I can smell pure Jasmine here, without any annoying other notes (at least on me). If anyone ever had Jasmine plant at home, they will know this is how it exactly smells and should smell!

It IS tender and very light, like all Yves Rocher perfumes as far as I know them, and I find that rather than a "just jasmine" focus, you get a beautiful blend of all the ingredients, not so natural and flowery but rather a more complex, elegant ladylike mix, at least on my skin. It strongly reminded me of Jouet by Clochard! A vintage fragrance made in the 80s and already discontinued when I was a child, but I remember the exact smell and how I had liked it. This is why I bought Tendre Jasmin and was so sad to see it go.

I agree with previous reviews, except the fact that it lasts only 2 hours. On me it's like 5 hours, and it's a good thing as I tend to use a fragrance for morning and another for evening, and I don't want to mix them up. It's for mature women, but I can't help using this one; a jasmine scent is supposed to be flowery, but it embodies a different notion of "gourmand" for me: not like Angel or Lolita Lempicka, but delicious,almost edible, don't know why... Maybe because I drink jasmine tea every day?:))

A lovely jasmine, excellent for spring and summer, day or night! Light and sweet. I definitely get the citrus - it reminds me of The Body Shop's Neroli Jasmine, but less fruity and more floral. Honestly, to my nose you get all of the notes mentioned - citrus, jasmine, mimosa. There is a note of soapiness here, not sure of the source but it brings to mind Lancome's Miracle just a touch. Decent staying power on me - don't be afraid to layer it on, though! This isn't a "dabber." Great scent.

This is a really pretty jasmine! I'm normally partial to a mood lifting, invigorating crisp green jasmine but this is more gentle and luminous. It still has that mood lifting quality of fresh, dewy spring flowers though. It's very gentle and natural... I'm really surprised by yves rocher! I remember my mums little collection, that inspired me to try it. I'm glad I did because the prices are awesome and fragrances are clearly made with good quality stuff! Bottles are not flimsy either.

This perfume is such an amazingly old fashioned thing. I love the heavy jasmine and mimosa accord. Very creamy and almost "old lady". When I smell this I get transported to a time long before I was born. There is nothing light or happy about this perfume for me, but I love it dearly. I am a little disappointed with the bodylotion though. It has a much lighter scent that turns quite plasticky after sitting on the skin for a while. The perfume itself, though, is gorgeous.

this is my 2nd time purchasing this perfume.this is to me the poor man's jasmine.i personally love it and find it addictive.i wear it mostly after my shower and just love the watery notes that i detect from this scent.unfortunately it does not last long and so i'm quickly running out of it. but at around 10 usd at the y r shops i can afford to repurchase. Edit: in the march promos the 30ml bottle of tendre jasmin is at $10.i plan on purchasing 2 bottles..

Oh wauw, someone said this is Alien Lite? I consider Shafali more the sister to Alien, this one not. There are however several perfumes like Tendre Jasmin, so this one is certainly part of a fragrance family. That family being the following: - MOST similar is Amouage Ciel pour Femme. - 2nd similar is Carolina Herrera 212 sexy for women - Very similar as well is Charlie Red. Needless to say that I love them ALL! The WHOLE family!!!

This is so beautiful in tropical climate. Easy going jasmine, fresh and not sweet. It doesnt project much but its sillage is soft and kind of like whispering beautifully. Very relaxing. Longevity is ok, around 3-4 hrs, about the right duration so i can spray it again. It layers beautifully with the sadly discontinued Comme des Garcons Red Series: Carnation, them together make a combination of a scent of Jasmine tea.

Beautiful fragrance! Very classy scent, not overpowering, I was just looking for such a jasmin scent and I found it!!!The jasmin in this scent is not too strong. The name says it all:Tendre Jasmin...soft, tender, innocent and very clean. Its a very fresh floral scent for daywear imo. Together with Rose Absolue and voile d'Ambre I like these floral scents!!Another favourite on my list!!

Extremely beautiful, warm and embracing jasmine scent. Very friendly, calm (yet assertive), bright and clean. Somehow I notice the mimosa as a tenderly oily note, a sweet oily beach-like scent - it may relate to the coconut scent some fragranticans feel in it. Sillage moderate to soft, wears close to skin on cool days, blooming fully on warm ones. Nice lasting power, moderate to long.

This is a very pretty scent, but jasmine lovers will find it lacking. For example, if we compare it to the ultimate jasmine fragrance, Mugler Alien, it is immediately obvious that YR Tendre Jasmin falls short of the mark. So it is better to not think of it as a jasmine fragrance at all, but to take it for what it is - a mild and pleasant citrusy white floral.
