ty janudy for introducing me to this gorgeous perfume.

(This review is for Eau de Perfume)

I bought LE JASMIN blind based on glowing reviews while searching for a fresh jasmine. I admire many creations by Annick Goutal but I am still trying to decide if I like this one or not. On one hand LE JASMIN is natural, green and fresh jasmine. It opens with the sparkly ginger mixed with gentle jasmine buds blossoming into green and fresh jasmine flowers in the heart notes. I love its natural and pure beauty. But on the other hand, there is a green note in this fragrance that turns rather weird on my skin and reminds me a bit of sour pickle juice, which I am not sure about. I tend to think that perhaps it is my skin chemistry with the scent that causes this. If not for this strange green sour note, this would probably be my favorite jasmine scent.

I just found a sample vial with two drops left on the bottom, emptied it on my wrist, and now I'm craving more!

This really is LE Jasmin, THE jasmin I've been looking for. It's beautiful, fresh, clear, nectar-like, it's a dream come true :)

In very short. Beautiful clear jasmin, then I smell the stems that hold the delicate petals. After one exact hour nothing...all that beauty gone. It is very nice. I'm a jasmin lover, my skin turns it from sweet to somehow aquatic and clean never cloying. Too bad for the short sillage.

In the world of florals jasmine is my number one hate note, and I had been watching this sample for a long time wondering if there was even a point to testing it out. Well when I did I was so impressed and relieved I just had to post a review immediately!
This is what you smell if you bury your nose into vibrantly alive slightly cool jasmines in the blue hour when the cool winds of the night scares the flowers just a tiny bit into dampening their scent radius.
This is the jasmine from ELO's Jasmin et Cigarette if you strip away all other ingredients and imagine Annick's jasmine has spent just a little less time in a vase than Elo's has.
Annick has brought back jasmine from the note-purgatory I had sent it to and I am officially impressed (if and in case that means anything coming from little me ;) )

Ok, this is strange because I know it's supposed to be Jasmine but it smells just like when I go face first into a bunch of Lily of the Valley (I actually get down on the ground to huff them), complete w a slight hint of spring/green.

I find Le Jasmin EDT opens with heady white florals & the undertone of healthy sweat. It is invigorating & delicious. It doesn't really bring to mind 'real' jasmine for me until an hour later when it smells like a sprig of jasmine which has been picked, sniffed & laid aside to slowly wilt in the heat.

Unfortunately during the drydown, things really fall apart on me, it becomes thin, cheap and chemically. A lot like lemon household cleanser. Le Jasmin doesn't really seem to have much oomph in the form of basenotes so this loss of traction kind of makes sense even if it is dissappointing after thoroughly enjoying the first couple of hours of floraliciousness.

missk hit this spot on the head--this is a fizzy jasmine. I don't know how AG did it, but spraying this on is like popping a champagne bottle--it's effervescent and tickles your nose. The jasmine is beautiful here w/o the slightly rotten smell other jasmine scents have (Serge Lutens Sarrassins). This isn't a dirty jasmine, it's bright and playful, perfect for a sunny spring day!

To me, this is a very pretty little air-head: carefree, endearing, not particularly complicated. However, both my mum and boyfriend claim it's hell-in-a-bottle: anti-mosquito, disinfectant, no kisses for the misses type of scent. Bipolar!

Think jasmine essence, ginger ale and freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 'voila!' you have Le Jasmin.

I'm truly enchanted by this fragrance's unique approach and sophistication. However it did take a while to become accustomed to this fragrance because it's a little heavier and spicier than what I expected. Do not assume that this will be an ordinary jasmine-based floral because you will be very wrong in that assumption.

The way in which Le Jasmin has been constructed shows that Isabelle Doyen intended that this fragrance should be complex and exotic. I disagree that Le Jasmin is a soliflore, I get much more than jasmine from this fragrance. This is rich, green, spicy and fizzy jasmine at its very best.

In fact, Le Jasmin is a reproduction of jasmine in its purest and most raw form. The sharp greeness that you experience in this fragrance is very reminiscent of jasmine blooms in the Spring just after a drizzle of rain. Fresh and luscious to the senses.

I applaud Annick Goutal from avoiding the additives of sweet notes and musky undertones which would only make this fragrance like all the rest which are boringly creamy or sweet jasmine scents.

For something very, very different you just can't ignore this fragrance or the Annick Goutal line for that matter. With excellent lasting power and such expensive and exquisite taste I don't think anyone could resist.
