A clean white floral musk...
Now, when Tom Ford released his White Musk collection he was doing something totally different from the rest of the Private Blend fragrances, which were (mostly) worth the money (ie they had great longevity, staying power, sillage etc.)... this doesn't.
What Jasmine Musk is... (and basically what all the other White Musk fragrances are) is a light perfume for you to spray on when you don't want to wear any of the heavier Private Blend fragrances like Tobacco Vanille or Amber Absolute. Basically it gives rich people an excuse to buy every type of fragrance from Tom Ford's Private Line (ie on an exclusive basis). So you can buy this and also own something like Tobacco Vanille, which could be worn for evening and this for the daytime or on less formal days. This one could also be worn formally but ultimately, this is really more of a skin scent.
The scent itself is based around the tried and tested combination of ylang-ylang, jasmine sandalwood and vanilla, with hints of musk. I can say that even if Samsara by Guerlain was being charged at the same Tom Ford prices, it would be a better investment than this one. Thankfully, it's a lot cheaper (and still in production).
Yes is nice. I could see on a woman this would be incredibly stylish, and very chic. But really the price is too much to pay for something that just smells "nice", and is a little safe (and which only lasts a few hours). That is, unless you are rich, and one of Tom Ford's exclusive clients. Jasmine Musk has been discontinued... don't bother looking for it. Buy Samsara instead.
