Jasmin et Cigarette

A smoky, skin‑close jasmine that pairs green galbanum and sage with a dense white‑floral heart, then dries down into maté and Venezuelan tonka, suggesting cigarette smoke diffused through hair and clothing rather than a sweet bouquet.

Scent Development and Character

A daring jasmine that opens with a green, slightly bitter brightness from galbanum and aromatic clary sage before plunging into a dense white-floral heart. Jasmine absolute is twisted by the dry warmth of turmeric, creating an impression that feels both luminous and shadowed, like skin catching the glow of a streetlight. As it settles, maté absolute and Venezuelan tonka bean bring a tobacco‑tinted, tea‑like dryness and soft sweetness, evoking cigarette smoke diffusing through hair and clothing rather than a heavy gourmand trail.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

This is best suited to evening wear and intimate settings, where its smoky jasmine and tea‑like dryness can be appreciated at close range. It works for artistic or relaxed workplaces in small doses but is more naturally at home at dinners, bars, and night‑time outings where a slightly provocative, cinematic aura feels appropriate. Most suitable for autumn and winter, when its smoky jasmine and warm tea‑like base feel comforting and atmospheric; in spring or cooler summer evenings it can work in small doses. Sillage is Soft to moderate sillage that stays within an arm’s length, creating a hazy aura rather than a strong trail. Longevity is Moderate longevity: around 6–8 hours on skin, with the jasmine and smoky facets persisting longest.
