Jasmin Noir
Jasmin Noir by Bvlgari is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2008 in the designer price tier. It opens with gardenia and galbanum, moves into sambac jasmine and almond and dries down to licorice, tonka bean, patchouli and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
Heart
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
Dry-down
- Licorice Sweet anise with a dark, salty edge. Divisive and distinctive.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
