Le Jasmin (2004)
by Annick Goutal

i smell nail polish remover with this one. want a nice jasmin? try bvlgari jasmin, it smells like jasmin!

Innocent without being cloying (as many jasmine frags can be). Gorgeous use of magnolia, too, to soften and round out the jasmine's sharper, greener edges, and just enough ginger to make things effervesce.

A big thumbs up for this, one of my favorite Goutals to date.

Flat and lifeless jasmine. There are far better jasmine sloiflores on the market than this.

Le Jasmin is a unique and truly enjoyable take on jasmine… Ms Goutal chose to make it a light and green version of the remarkable flower (my favorite). The jasmine is presented more softly than is usual for some other jasmine dominated white florals; the usual indole output has been eliminated and the sweetness has been reduced to emphasize this softer, kinder, lighter, greener interpretation. There's a touch of ginger added to the jasmine. The result is a wonderful soft, gentle, feminine fragrance. I myself prefer the indoles left in the flower, but Le Jasmin is lovely and it’s a unique interpretation that I appreciate and admire, as I do almost all things Goutal. It has very good lasting power for a Goutal fragrance.

Just gorgeous: a bright, natural and authentic jasmine scent with a nice kick added by the ginger. This is not a sweet and overwelming jasmine but a crisp and pure interpretation. The lasting power is extraordinary, though.

This is the way all women should smell. Pure femininty at its best. To describe this frag anymore would ruin it.
