The noble black of Bvlgari

I have owned Jasmin Noir for several years now. This flacon was also a blind purchase, bought as a remainder flacon. I often don't wear it for a while and then again more regularly
The black lacquer bottle with the golden cap is a feast for the eyes and its contents are also noble. Somehow its wedge-like shape from above reminds me of a ship, although it doesn't look like one. I have probably too much fantasy!
It's not easy for me to describe how I feel about Jasmin Noir.
It is a floral and woody fragrance, flowers that do not appear bright and sunny but rather dark. It's already in the name.
I recognize flowering gardenias and then immediately this green plant sap, which I find slightly tart and lily-like. I also find this note very intense in Tom Ford's Black Orchid, but with Jasmine Noir this note is much more subtle and subdued. But nevertheless well perceptible and I like this fragrance very much.
Jasmine-Sambac-Absolue joins them and gives the fragrance even more depth. I can't see almonds here like this. The base reveals woody notes.

The smell is noble and I like it very much. It also has some similarity with Coco Noir.
Some describe it as very loud and intense.
On myself it does not seem loud but nestles nobly to my skin. I am more the Snow White type with dark hair and light skin. He could develop more sillage on me, but my skin seems to suck him up. Although I don't have dry skin. Also others experience the scent on me discreetly and yet elegantly perceptible.
I guess he does suit me, then. At least I won't bother anybody with a too big scent
Jasmine Noir is definitely a post-purchase kanidat for me.

Inoffensive, but Intriguing

Perhaps a little too much gardenia for my tastes in this perfectly inoffensive Jasmine, though it's not the kind of thing that stops traffic. For that you'd need Creed's Jasmin Impératrice Eugénie which, in my experience, is impossible for a passer-near to ignore. Maybe the plant juice is the problem and what in the world is glycyrrhiza? Looking it up. Liquorice, or a relative. Yes, I get a faint whiff. Projection's not terrific and ten minutes later I barely smell it, so it's no sillage monster. Jasmin Noir IS accomplished, mind you. It's maker, Bvlgari, is principally a jeweler, of course, decorating fabled ears, necks, hands and fingers with exquisite creations for over 130 years. The founder, Sotirio Bulgari was a Greek silversmith who settled in Rome and, inspired by the Spanish Steps, created art in gems and gold. No way they'd put out a truly bad perfume. Here, the gardenia and plant juice settle down as it dries, letting the woods, almond and tonka take over and blend with the Jasmine. Glad I have it. It's sophisticated and warm, even intriguing, but I do seek the glorious reek. For me, this isn't it.

Night Blooming Jasmine, a walk down memory lane...

I can't understand why I put it off so long, before purchasing this lovely fragrance. In fact, I had purchased it twice, for gifts, before I realized just how much I needed to add it to my little collection. The Jasmine is just what I have been searching for. I always have the memory of a wonderful night blooming jasmine flowering vine, which I had in my garden in New Zealand, when I lived there. It is almost identical, and not at all overwhelming.
The opening of this perfume is slightly sharp..not unpleasant, but a green sharpness. I wouldn't like this to continue throughout the whole wearing, and it doesn't, fortunately. To me, the heart notes and the dry down are a great team, performing together perfectly. This is not a loud fragrance, it is a really soft jasmine cloud. The touch of almond adds a nice twist. It is a very recognizable fragrance. I have identified it numerous times, and even though the sillage is very good, it doesn't scream for attention. It is almost like a lovely floating, vibrant colored chiffon scarf. I think the woody dry down is very balanced. This is the type of jasmine I really enjoy. It's a wonderful fragrance, for a trip down memory lane!

Huggy feely and casual

I do not get the deep dark sophisticated jasmine from this, like so many people do. But what I do get is no less enjoyable:
On my skin it is a smooth, mellow jasmine, light enough to wear in close proximity, but substantial enough to be noticed. Perfectly inoffensive, the almond note gives it a soft, cuddly feel, while the gardenia allows a certain upper class aura to permeate the scent.
The general impression is one of casual luxury, think pure cashmere pajamas and stealing time away from work while taking it easy at home: the rest of the world will just have to wait!
In the dry down, this becomes more and more like a skin scent, very little sillage, it hovers very close with the warmth of your skin.

A Little Black Dress In A Bottle

It's not a cheap scent (monetary wise) but, you can smell that too. It's a lush jasmine scent, as you would smell floating through an exotic garden on an evening walk.
The gardenia is a very complementary note, helping to lift the jasmine up. The tonka-bean gives it a soft, warm allure. A hint of almond (and I smell vanilla too!) make it a wonderful powdery and sexy fragrance.

Something to wear for that special date when you want to take no 'prisoners' and leave no doubt that you are a sexy, elegant woman. A scent for all those special occasions where you want to exude class, style and sex appeal. Jasmine in its most sexy little black dress, the black bottle suit this normally innocent white flower, she is dressed up with intentions.

A wonderful Bvlgari and a must sample, if only once; but on the skin if you can, this scent loves body-heat and unfolds gradually and sensually. Wonderful silage & longevity. A sexy favorite.

An over-hyped jasmine

I had heard so many people rave about this scent prior to testing it. I had really hoped that I would be raving too, unfortunately this was not so.

I really wanted to experience that warm, smokey, musky jasmine that everyone has been talking about, yet all I got was a predictable and fleeting blend of gardenia and jasmine which really didn't surprise or amaze me in the least.

Sure, Jasmin Noir is a nice, pleasant, inoffensive scent, yet for me it didn't push too many boundaries. I wanted elegance and style, just like the bottle conveyed, but I was surprised by how light and short lasting this fragrance turned out to be.

I'm afraid I can't hold back on my disappointment. Jasmin Noir is neither mysterious, dark, alluring or intriguing. I'm really not impressed.
