Jasmine Sambac by Matthew Williamson

JasmijnMade

I was looking for a fragrance that most resembles the Flying Fox from the Lush.
I bought samples of this one, Yves Rocher Tendre Jasmin (very dissappointing)and Floris Night Scented Jasmine (also not my thing).
I must say i love this fragrance, the Jasmine is definitly the overtone.
It is a sexy sweet Jasmine, the only thing i am missing is a little bit more
honey and unfortunatly the scent doesn' t stay long, after 1,5 hour i still detect the scent, but only if i actually put my nose really close to my wrist.
I also think you have to spray a lot to actually smell the scent on you without actually putting your nose close to where you sprayed.
So overall i love the scent, but i think the sillage is a little dissappointing.
I ordered also samples from Serge Lutens a la nuit, Jo Malone Honeysuckle&Jasmine, l' Occitane en Provence Jasmin and Annick Goutal Le Jasmin (yes i am a crazy Jasmine lover who is trying to find the ultimate Jasmine perfume)
These still have to arrive, so i am looking forward to try them.
Does anyone have further recommandations for a Flying Fox substitute?

I'd say that this is a very simple jasmine blend, but still very nice, and exactly what I was looking for. Uncluttered with too many distracting notes, not sugared or spiced or dirty/indolic, just kinda clean, bright, and natural. Lasting power was average for me... I couldn't smell it after 1.5- 2 hrs, but maybe other people could? I spray it in my hair and on my chest. At any rate, it's never overpowering.

I am in the US and had to purchase it from a British perfume site, but it was still under $25 including shipping! I thought the bottle was boring from the picture, but really like it in person.

Bought this recently without even knowing what it would smell like, but luckily it was a great choice! Smells fresh and feminin without being too overwhelming. It transports the idea of summer extremely well. It smells just like being next to white flowers ( Jasmin of course) on a warm summer evening...and after a while on my wrist , I could also smell Honey and a hint of vanilla. Overall its the perfect scent for summer time or anytime you need to smell summer:-)

Intense, authentic and beautiful, reminiscent of warm Tunisian evenings. Summertime in a bottle.

Light but beautiful , not too heady as Jasmine can be. I loved it far more than any other Jasmine for that reason.

This perfume along with the other three from the same line was first launched in London, so luckily I had a chance to take a first sniff. According to Matthew Williamson himself, each fragrance from this line is inspired by a place in the world, yet this one, inspired by Ibiza - a fascinating Mediterranean island.

The bottle for this one is the green one. Jasmine is the dominating note in this, with a faintly zesty taste of citrus. It is just like having a refreshing and light-hearted holiday at Ibiza, perfect for summer time.
