Jasmin Rouge by Tom Ford

My girlfriend has tried it several times and says it smells like squeezed jasmine, a note of brutal quality, identical to the flower itself. The truth is, it doesn’t have much sillage and I wish it lasted longer; for the price, they should make it more potent.

On my skin, it’s jasmine, jasmine, and more jasmine. Super realistic with a sweet, vanilla touch. Very potent, I like it; I see it as unisex leaning towards feminine. 10/10.

I picked this up cheap in the freeshop without testing it first and went for it blindly. I thought I’d love the notes, but I didn’t. The jasmine notes are hyper-realistic, the most faithful I’ve ever smelled, but they overwhelm me. On my skin, it smells purely of jasmine. It’s super linear and projects an impressive jasmine essence. Unfortunately, while I like that note, it doesn’t drive me wild, so I find it too potent. I tried layering it with others, but it’s a bomb that ‘eats’ up the other scents. The raw materials are top-notch, with excellent longevity and sillage.

Jasmin Rouge is deep yet light; it has that duality I love, full of facets and surprises. On my skin, it evolves a lot; it’s sensual without being vulgar or overpowering. It starts mischievous with a shy wink, spicy from the cinnamon and ginger noticeable at the beginning, which are tamed by fresh citrus announcing the two star flowers: jasmine and neroli. They fuse into a single powerful accord that envelops you, like a second skin, a scent that seems to emanate from your very being. They are white flowers, fresh and intense, gradually lowering their strength to accompany you for hours. Sometimes you detect a lovely ylang-ylang, and in the background, elegant woods and a touch of amber appear. It embodies elegance, femininity, and sensuality; it’s precious. Although it’s potent at first, it later becomes measured and persistent. It invites a red dress, stiletto heels, and crimson lips, a perfect match. Longevity is 6 hours with strong sillage for the first hour, then moderate.

Both deep and light at once, it has that duality I love. Full of phases and surprises, it evolves a lot on my skin. It’s sensual without being vulgar, noticeable without being overwhelming. It starts playful with cinnamon and ginger tamed by fresh citrus, then comes the jasmine and neroli fused into a second-skin embrace. These are intense white flowers that fade in strength to accompany you for hours. Sometimes you detect ylang-ylang, and at the end, woods and amber. It embodies elegance and sensuality. It invites a red dress, heels, and crimson lips. It lasts six hours with a strong trail at the start and moderate afterwards.

I truly regret buying it; its fixation is very poor and it lasts a very short time. The jasmine prevails but vanishes quickly. I find it elegant, subtle, and coquettish, but its sillage is very low and, in reality, it’s an expensive perfume. I expected more.

Sexy, elegant, refined, a joy to find and use because it’s not cheap. I can’t stop wondering how the notes develop as you apply it to your skin and time passes; each one unfolds deliciously, it seems like an exquisite song. The sillage is strong at the start but fades quickly; still, it’s for your own delight. If you’re not interested in leaving an invasive trail, keep it for yourself and enjoy it because it’s precious and authentic.

Jasmin Rouge suits everything: elegant without being formal, sensual without being vulgar. It works for going out with friends, weddings, the office, or seduction. It has depth but is light, perfect for a tropical summer or a cosy winter. It’s androgynous despite being floral. I’d call it Jasmin Jaune because on my skin the ylang-ylang dominates. It depends on the temperature: in spring it smells like jasmine tea, in winter like jasmine with cinnamon and amber, and in summer it explodes like a spiced bouquet that ends as an amber bomb. It’s chameleon-like, versatile, and lasts for hours. If florals are your thing and you can afford it, it’s a great purchase. Pleasant: 8/10 Interesting: 9/10 Versatile: 8/10 Original: 7/10

To me, it smells more of neroli than jasmine. I prefer Diptyque’s Do Son, as it is spicier and more woody. Jasmin Rouge, although it contains jasmine, gives me a neroli sensation on my skin. I have another fragrance that convinced me before; I’m sorry, Tom Ford.

A beautiful perfume, but too floral for me. If anyone is interested in buying it or swapping it for one of my liking… I bought it in October 2019, it’s 100ml, completely new, with original box and packaging. I sprayed it four times to test it. What a pity we don’t do chemistry.

An excellent floral perfume, ridiculously categorised for women (we’re still stuck on that), and in my opinion, up to the standard of that great masterpiece that is Carnal Flower by F. Malle. Both distil floral purity, but this, unlike CF, evolves with aromatic-woody nuances that make it abandon the initial solifloral sensation of jasmine. Grand, magnificent Tom Ford perfume, once again.

It’s interesting because, although the description says it’s for women, it has notes that clearly suit a man, such as vanilla, heliotrope (a note very used in men’s fragrances of the 70s), leather, amber, and woody notes. I haven’t tried it, but I want to; based on what I read in the description, I think it might suit me. And if I like it, I’ll buy it.

Although Jasmin Rouge is designed for confident, exotic, and mysterious women, its leather and wood notes make it suitable for men. The result is a tropical, floral, powdery scent that screams passion. It’s not quite a unique masterpiece; sometimes VERT D’ENCENS mixed with JASMIN ANGÉLIQUE from Atelier Cologne does a better job.

Although it’s for women, on a man it smells super sensual and not too feminine, thanks to its cardamom, leather, pepper, amber, and woods.
