Really green Jasmine. Not in your face. Refined and elegant. Moderate sillage and quite long lasting.

This fragrance astounds me in its complexity. One of the very few I have ever tried that brought forth so many emotions. While many others regard this as happy and joyful, I find it to be cold and very mysterious; not for “nice” girls or boys. Very icy in it’s trail, a perfect boardroom bitch scent. Love it

This is not an in your face Jasmine scent. This is truly something that needs to be examined after a period of time. In the ‘reminds me of’ section, someone has said that it reminds them of Cristalle by Chanel: I have to agree – at the start.
After the vetiver intensity goes away, you’re left with a hyper realistic jasmine that can only be described by actually going out to smell a jasmine flower. Truly astonishing how it can smell exactly like a slightly green bush with blooming jasmine, just as the sun is rising and dew is evaporating. Nothing can make me happier.

Ooo this is lovely! I have an iffy olfactory relationship with jasmine, but this is a beautifully warm variety of it that mixes perfectly with the undercurrent of labdanum they’ve added here. It reminds me of a scent I’ve yet to put my finger on (will update if I figure it out) a lot. The warm/cool balance here is on point between the fresh opening of jasmine blossoms (the more natural feeling variety found in i.e. Nasomatto’s or Terenzi’s vs an Alien-esque heaviness) and the amber-y labdanum base I can smell. Those are the only 2 notes I really get, and even so it’s gorgeous.

This is quite strong smelling jasmine on first spraying, and I wasnt sure if I liked it. However, after and hour or so this smells gorgeous. Really different and very feminine. High quality scent and it lasted 6 hours without having to re- apply. Lovely.

I can’t decide if I like this, but one thing I wanted to say is that it’s having a serious calming effect on my brain and body. I feel more relaxed than I have in a while. It smells very pleasant I’m just not sure I like it on me. Smells like a super comfy bed would feel if that makes sense
I decided I love it, and will probably look for some more jasmin based scents. However I adore plum so it may be more that I’m not sure yet

Eclat de Jasmin by Giorgio Armani is a beautiful Jasmin fragrance. That’s right JASMIN! I grew up with jasmin bushes all around me, and this is JASMIN. I don’t get the reviews that say they don’t smell jasmin. Probably never have smelled it at all. All I get is jasmin and a bit of citrus. It makes me very happy when I wear this beautiful fragrance. Longevity is superb with high end ingredients. Beautiful!!

Illusion is the first of all pleasures. (Oscar Wilde)
I received Eclat de Jasmin this weekend on a sunny café terrace in Hermannstadt, with tears streaming down my cheeks. I received it in a moment of remembrance, of doubting and of pain. And this is how I shall remember it always: the smell of jasmine, among tears, rays of sun and weekend strollers passing by, ignorant of my and maybe even their own suffering. This scent will forever carry the fragrant mist of memory and illusion for me. Eclat d’Illusion. This is what this perfume is called in my book.
I had heard of Armani’s exclusivist Prive line in the past, but didn’t expect too much, as most Armani scents I know and own are, sadly, below average. Merely thinking of the raspberry syrup feel of Diamonds makes me sick to my stomach. Idole to my nose is a cheap, kindergarten-type pear sorbet with one too many spoons of sugar in it. I am not particularly thrilled about Code either: maybe because every second just-out-of-school wannabe passing you by in the street wears it. Aqua di Gio was my discovery in Luxembourg, but its status will never overcome that of a simple, far-off, pretty obscure memory. Overall: not very good. Me and Armani don’t really seem to be a match made in perfume heaven. Then again, maybe it’s just me playing the Madonna too much in searching for a fragrance which should simultaneously smell like Raphael and Odd Nerdrum.
My surprise when smelling Eclat was, in light of the aforementioned, huge. This is actually a well-constructed, wearable, comfortable, elegant, classy scent – and, I have to say this, very non-Armani. The over-the-top sweetness characteristic of all the other of their scents has simply vanished here. So have the in-your-face new-money character, and the find-me-in-the-strip-joint-round-the-corner feel. I actually think I might grow to like this scent – for being an Armani, it’s pretty prêt-a-porter, and I have to give it credit for that.
As the name itself implies, Eclat de Jasmin is all about jasmine – however, it is not a jasmine of the Mugler Alien facture, meaning it is not overpowering, sexy, daring, enveloping and loud. Armani obviously went for a clear-cut less is more strategy with this scent – most probably in keeping with the bottle and box’s overtly minimalist design (which I love, by the way). I would have expected a bit more drama from something employing the world ‘eclat’: a tiny bit more sensuality, sexiness, boldness, allure. Seems like Armani are really having trouble striking the right balance between 5 dollar an hour hooker and Hall of Mirrors ball queen. Eclat is a nude, floor length silk gown, paired with auburn locks, and not more than one piece of jewelry. It looks as it smells: minimalist. Which is not a flaw in itself – it’s just that, as I’ve already mentioned, there really is no ‘eclat’ in this one. I cannot help but recall Bulgari’s Voile de Jasmine; and am struck by the realization that if the name had not been taken, Armani should and would have most probably employed it for this scent. It’s really much more about veils than about glamour.
I envisage the Fontana Trevi at the height of summer, an Italian backyard with painted amphorae in the shade of blooming oleanders, a night time walk along the beach in Biarritz, a minimalist living room smelling of lime and bergamot in a high-end Milan neighborhood – but I would have loved to be able to ‘see’ an Indian alcove, a flowing cashmere shawl, or at least an opulent tarnished silver and opal necklace – as the marvelous bottle-top seems to suggest. I do get a gem stone from Eclat, but it’s not opal, not by a long shot. Much rather this scent to me recalls white pearls. An cascade of white, beautifully regular pearls, falling from a broken strand, dripping unto a cold flight of marble stairs. That coldness of the ‘click-click’ brought about by every one of the white wonders’ contact with the marble is the audio-visual equivalent of this hard to pin down scent.
Overall, I am simultaneously impressed with and disappointed by this opaline gem in the Armani Prive collection. For something scoring a mind boggling 185$ a bottle, this had better smell much more appealing and much more original. A review on NowSmellThis describes it roughly as being the equivalent of an overpriced cotton t-shirt. I agree on the overpriced, and disagree completely on the t-shirt tag. It is, in fact, not worth the money, but it is also far from being a t-shirt and sweatpants scent (even if the two are Armani). Eclat is a comfy scent, which goes very well with a white India-inspired ensemble, beige suede flip flops and a white Thierry Mugler oversized watch. It is not glamorous, but it is certainly not been-around-the-block either. And I have to give it credit for being the one and only Armani scent which I am actually able to wear until now. It’s feminine, delicate, non-pretentious and extremely well-behaved, and it might easily turn into my signature scent this summer.
Trying out Eclat de Jasmin made me very curious about the rest of the Prive line – particularly Bois d’Encense. And for me, a scent which triggers another fragrant journey, is already a success in itself.
Chapeau

This definitely says floral chypre, but I think it’s quite musky, with a very slight touch of old fashioned face powder.
It suggests a well dressed woman who enjoys elegant, sophisticated perfume. Yet it’s not a sillage bomb and has a contemporary edge thanks to the patchouli note paired with plum.
Labdanum is possibly what lends part of the musky grounded quality too (it always reminds me of horse hair) but what becomes quite distinct in Eclat de Jasmin as it dries down is a very nice spicy/peppery warm carnation.
Though I find this a little ‘tweed suit’ or smart handbag for my taste, it’s quite a lovely perfume, I’m enjoying the complexity and warmth.
I’d see a confident, mature and well dressed woman wearing this, someone womanly and comfortable in her own skin.
I prefer Pierre de Lune from this series for my own taste, but this is a winner too, for the right woman!
Sillage and longevity moderate. On the test strip you smell much more jasmine, but that fades quickly on skin

I do now smell the flowers in this one; just often not right away. By the end of the day when I wear it (or next morning v faintly), my hair will smell like roses & jasmine wherever the hair brushed against my neck. Still mostly a patchouli scent for me otherwise. Really great perfume.
2014:
I’m noticing that there are some perfumes where, even if floral notes are there for others, I just don’t smell them. Not sure why that might be, but it’s true for Anais Anais, Cuir de Russie and Éclat Jasmine. To me, Éclat Jasmine is all spice, v light amber, woods and v.v. light musk. Maybe a tiny, fleeting whiff of citrus at the start.
Regardless it’s gorgeous and very attractive; keep smelling my arm. Probably just as well my partner doesn’t wear scents since this one would mean I’d be sniffing him all the time.
Longevity is significant on me. 12 hours easy and lingering a little the next day. I suspect sillage might be pretty big.
I was amused by the review that called it bitter, associated it with powerful women and advised against young women wearing it. I guess I’m not young, but if I were still, those would all be reasons for me to buy it on principle.

i fell in love with the smell
wirtyoz – :
I like this fragrance, but Jasmine? The name is very deceptive. I get no rose or patchouli either, both are favorites.
Bergamot is the first thing that you smell, maybe lime, but no lemon. Then the Vetiver comes in and sits softly on the skin. A clean, Provencial soap smell. Elegant and would be nice on any age woman or man (Again, the name & pink stone send the wrong message). I wouldn’t have gotten this if I knew it was so “Green”, but it’s nice for a Spring or Summer day. Maybe followed by something more floral.
outfiftalbutt – :
I am hoarding the last bottle (of3) that I bought. This fragrance devours, seduces and beguiles me. It is constantly beautiful and does not morph into anything sad or soapy. It is the ultimate of the four that I own, Amethyste, Jade, Pierre de Lune and this unadulterated Jasmin of the highest quality.
hara84 – :
I do not have a developed nose- can’t really identify the various notes, but I really like this scent on me a lot. It is a classic scent, like the blends of old. I have a tendency to go for chypres, but also want a bit of warmth/spice and this satisfies. Honestly, I like jasmine a lot (always go for that as a top note) but I don’t get the typical sweet, white floral that is usual in heavy jasmine scents. I have been desperately looking to replace my long time scents (Molindard de Molinard, Miss Dior (orginal), and Joy that have been changed too much). This along with a few others ( Fiori di Capri, Le Parfum de Therese, and 31 Rue Cambon) are coming close. Definitely recommend it as worth trying for others.
irysikdyrysik – :
I’m confused by some of the reviews on this, and the notes people have chosen as noticeable, and the fact it says cologne in the listing here, as it’s an EDP. Did they reformulate? I don’t get vetiver, or patchouli, or sour. It’s JASMINE!, and lots of it. Totally natural jasmine, and very high quality. This is what jasmine essence smells like. It doesn’t smell like ‘white floral’, which is usually made with hedione. I agree with the reviewer who mentions Arpege. I would also say Joy, the original parfum. I would also say the sadly discontinued Theo Fennell. It’s a very classic, classy, old school fragrance. I find it stunningly beautiful, warm and sumptuous.
vargan – :
Eclat de Jasmin (what a beautiful name!!) is a squeaky clean jasmin with a sour, dry grassy vetiver.
I cannot say it is soapy, but it is so clean and prestine. It is woodsy, damp, green and lush. If you are looking for a jasmin soliflore, this is not the one.
There is something mouth-watering about this fragrance, no vanilla and candy to speak of. I cannot capture this fleeting note, it is like plum or cherries without the toothaching sweetness. After a long-standing phase of linearity, there is also a slight smokiness and earthiness giving the fragrance body and touch of uniqueness.
It will make a brilliant choice for spring and summer. Can a man wear this? Maybe. But I do consider it a modern feminine scent for a confident and elegant lady.

O.0 There’s no jasmin note in this …
In my childhood we had a forest with lilies of the valley [damn name, we call it just May flowers] which was a very fantastic place, imagine a hill with trees and these lilies. We had lilac trees all over the place. My granddad grew roses behind our house, and on the edge of house we had a jasmine bush. It is not exactly the ‘jasmine’, but our East European sort of jasmine I guess. Still, it smells effing divine and I was constantly assaulting that bush for bouquet purposes. Eclat de Jasmin has a bit of this memory. Although it doesn’t smell of how live flower smells, it is kind of concentrated. I do smell a hint of labdanum and bergamot here. It is old fashioned type of perfume, it’s heavy, bold and … well smells of jasmine more the more it dries down, side notes get lost in blend and finally I can imagine crispy white petals and great, divine floral smell. Try try try it.

Eclat de Jasmin
Giorgio Armani likes the Jasmine fragrances of his childhood, a long way from the hypnotic mysteries of the Grasse extracts; he likes its solar energy. He will make Eclat de Jasmin a hymn to the cherished flower, the song of joyous reunions, sunny, radiant, and free. Jasmin celebrates its return to life, with all its petals embracing the sun and the light fragrance of Sicilian Bergamot and Calabria Lemon. This Jasmin vigorously takes root in the warm terrace of Indonesian Patchouli. It radiates full and open, unrestrainedly offering its floral scent, as dazzling as a dress in the latest colours. Like a sensor thirsty for the sun, the rose quartz top drinks in the light. In the palm of the hand, like a talisman it restores confidence in its clean power, its clean energy.
Eclat de Jasmin: a fragrance which sings the praises of light and life.

Stunning and absolutely perfect. I love it.
ChronoS89 – :
I’m agreeing with glitteralex here, great jasmine scent. And one of the best things about it is that it is not an “in your nose” headspace jasmine that sucks all the air out of you and then turns bitter. This is jasmine smelled from a discreet distance, wafting in the starry night with just a hint of patchouli and vetiver. The notes list rose and osmanthus too, but I don’t get those and the opening lemon lime fades fasts and gives way to this great great jasmine fragrance.
Just beautiful, wish Armani would tackle the gardenia monster next!

The drydown on this perfume is absolutely stunning. Having lived with jasmine gardens outside my bedroom window for years, I have to say this is uncannily true to life (and maybe even a little better), than night blooming jasmine. Not synthetic smelling in the least. Excellent longevity, it’s obvious the ingredients are high quality. I get some amber, but no patchouli, in the drydown.
