I remember the 80s version being very indolic, but from the sound of it it doesn’t seem to be the same formula. I didn’t hate it, but I think I was too young to appreciate indoles in general.

I have the current version, can’t speak for the vintage as I don’t remember it, but this is okay. I occasionally wear it to bed to sleep. Powdery jasmine, soft musk. I don’t find it overpowering. It *almost* has a vintage makeup/lipstick/crayon smell that I find comforting. It is cheap, yes, but that’s part of its naïeve charm. Not my favorite by a long shot, but not bad when I want a soft scent to lull me into sleep (and I don’t want to use my more expensive fragrances!).

A little PSA for anyone interested: a certain fragrance sampling site (*cough* STC *cough*) has just added a plethora of retro fragrances, including the *original* Love’s Musky Jasmin!
Chernv – :
the original name was LOVES MUSKY JASMIN FLOWER AND SMELLED DIVINE !!! I wore it in the mid 70’s and it was my favorite along with Bonne Belle skin Musk now this was the era of musk but these 2 were quite lovely, feminine and fresh. original musky jasmin flower smelled so different than this new stuff which I tested years ago, around christmas. I was so hoping it would smell like it but NO! The closest thing I ever found to the original 70’s version was Alfred Sung / SHA which was a special edition of his, it had the same lovely floral ethereal scent

Synthetic plastic smelling jasmine! PATHETIC!

I loved Baby Soft, so I was hopeful that this might be another bargain favorite. I was sadly disappointed after wearing this one. It has a very synthetic jasmine note to it that overpowers anything else in the fragrance.
The other mentions of the alcohol being overpowering are accurate as well. It is very strong initially. When the alcohol wears off, you are left with chemical jasmine. I’d skip this one.

I got this for Christmas as part of a Love’s variety pack when I was about 12, and twenty-some years later, it’s the only bottle I kept from the set. It’s sweet, musky, and nostalgic.

I once said I only wear Soft Jasmine to bed and wouldn’t wear it out. I lied! It’s hot and humid today and this is feeling pretty pleasant right now. Although it’s more of a creamy jasmine than fresh it’s so light and uplifting, great for cooling and calming hot skin.
So if it’s hot but you want something a little different than the usual fresh laundry musk or bright berry bomb body mist give this a try! It’s very nice for the price.

I plan on getting a vintage bottle to try but I as of yet don’t know what that smells like.
As for “Dana” Soft Jasmin its nice and soft for sleepy time! I would likely not wear it out but it has something easy going and comfy about it. It’s the funniest thing but I thought it was gross at first. I think I may have just used too much. It’s light and easy to say “I can’t smell it” than spritz more. It goes away fast but that’s okay. I only use it at bedtime.

I remember being given this as a little girl, it was only to be worn when going to church. If memory serves me well, I recall I thinking odor of synthetic jasmine was fancy.Now I know better.I suppose it’s good for preventing little girls like smelling lile they’ve been running around but….meh.

This is not the same one as the 80’s version…that was Musky Jasmine. This one is much less “musky”.
vitek120390 – :
I had this in the late 80’s (middle school) I loved it the light jasmine,powderyish musky scent was so pretty!
Hellforge – :
Grabbed myself a bunch of these Dana’s fragrances. Lemon, Jasmine, Rain Forest and this newer one that smells like Pink Sugar. It’s in a red box. This is a nice soft fragrance just to wear around the house. I got them at a steal, so I’m not complaining or comparing. The only one I couldn’t find, or I should say that was missing is Love’s Baby Soft. I do remember loving that back in day, just for after a bath or something. I like it, and I have a ton of other more expensive and crazy insane expensive. But for the price, I just couldn’t walk away. Very feminine. Very light.

Love’s Original Musky Jasmin Flower is NOT the same thing as Dana’s Soft Jasmin. Dana’ bought the rights to the product line in or around 1986 and reformulated most of the Love’s line scents – to their detriment. Only Love’s Musky Jasmin Flower by Menley & James and then, Chattem (which stuck REALLY close to the Menley & James fragrance formulation) are the true Love’s Musky Jasmin scent of the early seventies through the early-mid eighties. (70’s – mid-80’s).
When Dana procured the Love’s lines, the reformulations were deplorable if you were used to the original formulations. If you have not used anything else other than the Dana versions, then you probably wouldn’t be able to notice how Dana had degraded the original. That goes for Baby Soft as well.

I wear this when I am about to go to sleep or after a shower because it is a really nice light floral smell. I think it is a very relaxing scent. I would recommend to anyone who wants to relax or someone who wants to smell nice but does not want a heavy smelling fragrance.

I loved this scent back in the 80’s. It was a strictly fresh Jasmine Fragrance. Identical to the flower itself. No other notes in this one, maybe a bit of musk in the drydown. I purchased Love’s Jasmine last year for my daughter and I’m sadly disappointed. It smells no where near as wonderful as it did when I was a young girl. It has a cheap synthetic Jasmine floral scent to it. Nothing like how I remember it smelling back in the day. It’s a yucky new re-formulation and I hate it!!!
СВиталий – :
There was a love’s jasmine scent back in the 70s and 80s one of my closest friends loved this one and it smelled wonderful on her.
Love’s had a whole line of cosmetic products and 4 or 5 fragrance scents including this one. The jasmine of course was the most prevelent note followed by the musk – my friend seemed to get more of floral blend than I did. This stayed closer to the skin and didn’t last too long but was strong when first applied.
I didn’t wear this much and I only got one bottle way back when, in some kind of gift set along with some other love’s scents and I think lip gloss or lip balm.
I liked this one a lot but since my friend loved this so much, as well as a lot of other “jasmine” scents and I liked so many different scents including several other Love’s fragrances I left her to this one.
Even though I will wear scents now with Jasmine notes, when I first smell something jasmine prominent I think of her and our girlish adventures to the fragrance counters of our local shopping district.

I believe this was one of my first fragrances when I was an early teen. That was late 70’/early 80’s. I remember it being a nice scent. I preferred Love’s Baby Soft to this though. It was still a nice scent and I loved the purple. Good memories.
mahachisk – :
I have to agree with another reviewer and say this smells just like Jasmine Tea ! It is a tad musky on me, but I mostly get a tea note. I really like this little bottle, nice summer scent for the pool if you don`t want to smell tropical or lemony.
konstruktor – :
Smells like Jasmine tea.
TotHoortbal – :
Remastered wonderfully! I still have my musky jasmine from long ago and they are not the same. Both are great jasmine scents, though.
FerrMan – :
Smells like powder. Then the lovley jasmine and floral notes come out. Lasting power sucks however. Like 2 hours. However, it is inexpensive enough to keep spritzing.

I wore this when I was in 8th grade, in 1979/80. It was called “Love’s Musky Jasmin Flower”, and I always thought the name was awkward. I think it was released around 1972, but I’m not sure. There used to be a “Love’s” makeup line, as well as the fragrance line. It was a popular brand even before the fame of the iconic “Love’s Baby Soft”. I think “Soft Jasmin” is a much better name for this green, airy, pretty jasmine. Without a doubt, I am anosmic to the musk used in this blend, these days, so the fragrance smells very different to me from what I remember of it. However, it’s extremely pretty. It’s too bad somebody doesn’t remake this scent blend with better ingredients (and way less alcohol), because it would be a great seller!

Love’s soft Jasmin was not released in the 2000’s. It was released in the ’70’s. It is really a unique and hard to find scent here in Canada. Love’s has just re-released it along with the Fresh lemon scent. It is so beautiful and I have been waiting for it to come back over 18 yrs now!!! I am a huge Love’s baby soft fan and have almost all of teh scents and can honestly say this one is one of my top favorites 🙂
