Jasmal (1959)
by Creed

Am I alone in picking up the fecal top note (before the scent dries on the skin)? If you're bent on studying the many good jasmine variations in the marketplace, add this one to your sample list. Not too heavy, could be worn from day through night. Lovely execution, but only you will know if this is precisely the jasmine you've been looking for.

Smells like cheap jasmine air freshener. Horrid!

Creed's Jasmal is certainly no cheap smelling air freshener! It is a beautifully blended emulsification of jasmine, rose, iris, and assorted greens. While I prefer Lutens' A La Nuit - whose jasmine truly stands as a soliflore - Creed's rendition is very user friendly, as the jasmine is well supported by the roses' softness. For me, the rose was very obvious, as well as the iris in the drydown. These two authentic flowery notes are responsible for Jasmal's "roundness" and slightly powdery kick. I love when perfumers pair fresh greens with jasmine, and other heavy hitting flowers, because the natural green notes really keep those fragrant blooms fresh smelling. That effect is here in Jasmal! Fresh floral - with a definite thumbs up!

Jasmal is not too sweet or cloying. It's one of the most natural jasmine-centric fragrances I know of. Exotic, sultry,
heady, yes--cheap air freshener? absolutely not. Its strength lies in its ability to raise jasmine to the highest level of beauty. I wish there were a version au masculin!

I love, love, love this. I wish is stayed with me longer though. It is definitely worth re-applying during the day. I love the somewhat smokey scent of this even if brief.

This is a very sweet, luxuriant jasmine right from the start. Jasmal is much more nocturnal and suggestive in nature than Creed's older Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie. It's a sultry, heady, and exotic jasmine, blooming on a warm tropical night. Sandalwood makes itself known in the heart, giving the composition some depth, and the sweet musky drydown is seductive and mysterious. Not bad, though not all that unusual, either.
