It is difficult to imagine a modern women's perfume without the charming and royal luxurious aroma of jasmine. The name of the plant in Persian means "fragrant flower" and fully corresponds to it.
Its magical smell is comparable only to a divine rose, therefore, the word "royal" is often assigned to it. Jasmine was called a symbol of love, attributed to it magical properties, and the ancient Chinese emperors enjoyed its beauty and fragrance in their gardens.
A bit about grades
There are many varieties of this plant and each has individual characteristics. For example, sambac has a grassy aroma with subtle musky notes. And the grandiflorum most widespread in perfumery is rich in shades of fruit, in which banana and apricot accents are clearly perceptible.
However, the most valuable in the world is a species grown in French Grasse. Its absolute is very expensive, since the technology for producing it is expensive and very complicated. Today in the world there is only one perfume based on it - Chanel No. 5. In other cases, synthetic substitutes are used, which, of course, are in many ways inferior to the true fragrance of the royal flower.
The most pronounced odor notes of this plant can be heard in the perfumes "Yves Rocher Jasmine Tender", "Beauty" from Calvin Klein, Jasmine Full from "Montal" and many others, which we will talk about today.
No.5
They were called a composition that deceived time, a symbol of elegance, a revolution in perfumery and a masterpiece of the great Coco Chanel. They fell in love with a bohemian Paris of the early twentieth century, and now they are chosen by modern world stars.
At the dawn of the last century, Chanel Jasmine perfumes for women were truly exclusive. Mademoiselle Coco asked Ernest Bo to create a fragrance that has not yet been found in nature. He succeeded. In 1921, he proposed several options for essences to choose from. Chanel preferred the one that was at number 5. So the masterpiece was called.
Incredibly, the true composition of the spirits is still kept secret. It is only known that Ernest Bo experimented with aldehydes, which, despite the pungent odor, became dominant among the remaining 80 components.
Fragrance Description
So, Chanel No. 5 is a classic evening perfume that suits women of the summer type. Sanguine and choleric sound a little "heavier" and makes it slow down. Its smell is sophisticated and at the same time strict, seductive, but at the same time feminine. If you can’t make friends the first time, don’t be sad - you just need to grow to the aroma.
Chanel No. 5 perfume with jasmine is a bouquet consisting of abstract flowers revealing the nobleness and individuality of its mistress. From the first notes, the composition explodes with aldehyde accents and soon switches to sensual chords of roses, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley. The lightness of jasmine from Grasse, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, as well as the sultry vetiver remains on the skin and delights with its fragrance for a long time.
It can not be called a train, but it is very persistent. The aroma "sits" close to the body and excites the senses. Chanel No. 5 smells like a woman - subtly, but damn exciting.
The appearance of the bottle, as well as the sound, did not correspond to the spirit of the last century. At that time, perfume companies were refined in design: the vessels were made of crystal, encrusted with precious stones, and as a result they became like works of art.
Mademoiselle Coco showed her asceticism here too. She offered designers a simple glass vessel in the shape of a parallelepiped, which was more like a male cologne. Then it looked at least eccentric. The only attempt to change the appearance is dated 1924. The bottle found a beveled, slightly rounded face and a cork similar to an emerald. But Coco quickly returned the vessel to its former forms.
Glam Jasmine by Michael Cors
At the center of the composition is the captivating fragrance of white flowers, among which jasmine is especially magnificent. Perfumes from Michael Kors will be the perfect choice for parties and any other events where the main task is to shine and be in the spotlight.
The author of the perfume was Harry Fremont. He added tantalizing blackcurrant buds to the white flowers and gave an elegant finish based on cream sandalwood accents.
A stunning perfume has an emotional, delightful and fresh sound, which, despite its laconicism, captivates with its beauty and complexity. The initial notes are revealed by the strength of the leaves of ripe black currant, white flowers and excellent astringency of wood. No wonder that in the perfume of Michael Kors, jasmine became the basis of the composition - this is the designer’s favorite ingredient. It is he who reigns in the touching heart of the fragrance.

Floral perfume will be the perfect accompaniment for charming and showy women who always and everywhere look great. The sound is quite deep and expressive, which means it is perfect for an evening out.

Mon Jasmin Noir L'Eau Exquise by Bvlgari
As part of the Jasmine Noir collection of perfumes, in 2012 a flanker appeared that took a worthy place among other perfumes in the series. The creator of this fragrance is the talented Sophie Labbe. To date, about 60 compositions have been released under her authorship. However, it is with Bulgari that she collaborates most fruitfully.
What does Mon Jasmin Noir L'Eau Exquise sound like?

The bottle design reflects the trepidation of the composition. Transparent glass in a delicate lilac shade resembles delicate female skin. The exquisite cap of a slightly elongated shape completes the elegant image.
Shalimar by Guerlain
Most of the fragrances that deserve eternity are those that are inspired by the image of a man’s beautiful love for a woman. It was the story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal that inspired Jacques Guerlain to create the legendary spirits with jasmine - Shalimar. In the interpretation of the author of the composition, Shalimar is a garden of love, but the word itself translates as "pleasure."
Enchanting perfume was created in the last century, and in 1925 the whole world learned about it in the person of the beautiful half of humanity.
Jacques Guerlain managed to create an essence from which any man will lose his head.

Then the fragrance captivates with a sweet cloud of vanilla, iris root, opoponax, tonka bean and frankincense.
