It is the era of Harcourt Studios when Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich magnetised men with a Hollywood look in the eye, smoking a cigarette in a smoky black and white ambiance. Jasmin et Cigarette is also the slightly jasminy smell of a woman’s skin when she exposes her freshness to the dark seduction of night. A hazy atmosphere. The reminder of a fantasy, of an indelible trail she leaves on a dress at the break of day or in the intimate memory of the man who made love to her. It is elegance seen by Gainsbourg, the woman from the 80’s who smokes Gitane cigarettes and wears jeans and who, with astounding naturalness, claims her sensuality as a right. Transparency in sophistication, just a trace of jasmine mingled to the so far neglected smell of a cigarette. Jasmin et Cigarette is the twilight zone, the banned, addiction. Nicotine woman or heroine, she is an icon, the woman one longs for.

Composition: Jasmine asbolute, tobacco notes, apricot, tonka beans, curcuma, cedar, amber, musc...

Nose for this perfume is Antoine Maisondieu. Jasmin et Cigarette was launched in 2006.

This sounded so interesting, but I could never wear this. It really does have the very lifelike scent of unlit cigarette tobacco, together with jasmine. This includes a sort of "pissy" quality in the tobacco that I hadn't thought about before, but it's there, and a lot of it. Would have been okay if it had stayed in the background, but there's so much of it. In a certain light, it's a really interesting scent, but I'm actually afraid that people would think I'd peed my pants if I wore this. The jasmine in this is so lovely though, could you maybe separate that and bottle it alone, ELdO?

I find Jasmin et Cigarette to be a very primal scent. There is an almost faecal note which combats the sweet jasmine and apricot. I haven't got a clue what it is, perhaps the musk? After about 30 minutes the light leafy tobacco note comes out to play. Unusual, but I couldn't live with it on a regular basis.

The name says it all. What you smell is jasmine and tobacco, but what takes you there is interesting. The jasmine is clean and a bit green, not particularly indolic, and is reinforced by a light cedar. I take the tobacco note to be tobacco with coumarin, giving a hay-like scent. These 3 elements give the same honeyed gorgeousness of the fresh, moist Dutch blonde cigarette tobacco used to roll your own. It made me want to take up smoking again. I know the ‘cigarette’ in this fragrance is often said to be more of a pipe or that the tobacco is smoke, but I definitely see it as freshly packaged, unsmoked blonde cigarette tobacco. The jasmine and the tobacco hold together quite well and do a fairly linear dance with each other through the drydown. Linear works here as you catch different parts of the elements coming together in different ways all the time: jasmine and cedar, tobacco and tonka, jasmine and hay, but usually just the lovely jasmin et cigarette.

Don't misunderstand. There is no burning tobacco - acrid cigarette smoke. Nothing on fire. The tobacco note is fresh cigarettes or a cigar...UNlit. This scent is unique. Very strong Jasmine at first blush. Mellows nicely. The tobacco lends a sweetness and depth that really works. It's warm and cozy without being gourmand-y and vanilla-y. Nice.

Jasmin et Cigarette very accessible (read: non-indolic) jasmine with a hint of tobacco. It's pleasant and sexy smelling. I personally wouldn't wear it, but I think it would smell great on a woman (or a guy that knows what he's doing).

Definitely try this one, it's good.

An impossible fragrance: jasmin I love and cigarettes I hate together make one of my favourite scents. I find it very outstanding and romantic and a bit sad, perfect for a rainy autumn day...

Finally an ELDO I can love! And it smells exactly like what you would expect, given its name.

I love fresh, natural-smelling jasmine and Jasmin et Cigarette has it to spare. I actually think the "cigarette" accord of the fragrance also contributes to the interest of this scent. It dampens the more narcotic aspects of the jasmine and keeps it from being too cloying.

Wearing it is like getting the best aspects of both jasmine and the act of cigarette-smoking, without the nicotine stains, bad breath, stinky clothes, etc. As an ex-smoker who was raised by parents who smoked, I admit: I find something comforting and satisfying in this scent.

The scent has good sillage and longevity. Well worth a try if you enjoy jasmine scents.

The opening is a floral / fruity buquet that has an acidic feel similar to a fruit salad left marinating for a whole day with a little sugar. In the drydown things get a little better with a shy note of tobacco recalling more of a tobacco leaf than an ashtray. Nothing spectacular or particularly interesting. I was so curious about this fragrance as I loved the concept behind it but, honestly, I expected something more challenging and uncompromising. All I got is an ok scent with a moderate sillage and no more than reasonable lasting power.

All I can say is this smells like I've just walked out of a New Age shop, or a New Age/Tobacconist shop, is such a place were to exist. Jasmine et Cigatette smells like a very fine tobacco, something I'd rather smoke than wear.


Edited to add: I kept my tester vial of this on my desk, and last night I'd get a whiff of something, and kept thinking to myself, "What smells so good?" Wouldn't you know it was the Jasmine et Cigarette! Perhaps I was too quick to judge, it does smell good, I think it's the Jasmine that's attracting me, but the Jaz doesn't last very long. The drydown isn't me, I think it would smell better on my husband. If I tell him it's for women he won't wear it, if leave that info out and just tell him it's expensive he'll wear it. :)

Would I go and buy a bottle of this? Nope.

Would I try other fragrances from Etat? Yes. NOT the "dirty" smelling one, though. (Ok, maybe out of curiosity I might).

delicious, like jasmine and a packet of good quality tobacco. not too sweet, very fresh and complex, very unisex in my opinion (but i like nontraditional male florals)

As Antoinette, I got a lovely jasmine note with an interesting note of a freshly rolled or crashed cigarette. It's not a smoke as I supposed, but the note of fresh fill of a cigarette, I used to destroy a lot of my grandpa's cigarettes as a child to see what was inside, and I loved the smell.

And jasmine contains this nuance itself (here it's just accentuated by tobacco), that is why the composition is so harmonious. I think this fragrance would be great on a man ;o)

I have to say I would not wear this. Whilst I appreciate the artistry of the composition the opening of jasmine is quite uncompromising yet not uplifting as white flowers should be. The tobacco mingles right from the start and produces a somewhat depressing mood on me. Although I've never smoked, I've never had any aversion to smoke or tobacco. I was hoping for something french and sophisticated, but to be honest, if I smelled like this for real, I'd be popping the peppermints.

In search for tobacco fragrance, I tried this one. Unfortunatelly, I found jasmin here opening and dominating the whole fragrance the same way as in Jean Patou Joy - beoynd of my ability to love it:(
Around this jasmin here, all other notes only wisper silently..
Next day testing strip smells very fresh, all notes sings harmony in nice blend and non of them is dominating. Wonderful! Would fell for it, if was possible to skip first 3 hours of jasmine terror:)

straightforward with no ambiguity. This scent is exactly what it says JASMINS & CIGARETTES. This is the scent of reality, bittersweet. It reminds you that while there are fancy shops & restaurants, there are also dark alleys and gutters.

The tobacco scent slowly clears up for the jasmine to appear almost singularly, like a cabaret singer sliding under the sheets of her bed after a night's singing; in the calmness of her sleep, forgetting there has ever been any hazy smoke inhaled into her lungs.

The opening of this scent smells exactly like my jacket after smoking Jasmine cigarettes in the 80s. Then it mellows some and becomes more Tonka, tobacco smoke and for some reason Apricot. Lots and lots of apricot. Over all, it's very much like the experience of smoking a jasmin cigarette except for the apricot note. There's tobacco smoke, so much so that violent non-smokers will object to this scent and there's a faint metallic edge, just like the gold-foiled filter on the brand I used to smoke. The apricot is new, but other than that, it's a great stab at recreating a place, time and experience.

I love this line. The names are cheeky and the scents are really different. They do not really smell like a lot of traditional scents.

This one is my favorite in the line. It smells like a french model smoking in some sexy runway couture. Floral and Smokes (but a nice smoke)

Oh la la

Imagine yourself in a flower shop admiring a bouquet of jasmine as another customer walks in smoking their cigarette. This was my first impression of this scent.

As a male searching for a floral masculine scent, I continue to be surprised by ELdO, finding a balance of femininity & masculinity.

It opens up with a seductive & playful notes of jasmine mixed with hints of apricot and tonka bean.

As it begins to warm down, smoky cedar and musk notes are introduced.

If I was to start smoking, this would be a nice way to do it. You get the scent of the smoke while enjoying your bouquet of jasmine w/o the nicotine.

This is a fragrance for anyone who is confidant and does not mind blowing a little smoke into someone's face.

This opens with a clean, fresh jasmine note before turning a corner to reveal a sweet, leafy tobacco presence, not a smoked cigarette in an ashtray, but a freshly rolled one manipulated through the fingers of a woman waiting for a light. At once both illumination and shadow. And like a cigarette, this is satisfying yet fleeting.
