Description
“A trailing oud, I wanted it to be exceptionally rich with jasmine, a scent that hits you like a tsunami.
Oud Jasmin is the scent of the “Arabian Nights”, the collection of short stories from the East, in which the terrible Sultan Shahriyar falls in love.
A scent that evokes the mysteries and beauties of Arab culture, the atmosphere of the starry heavens, the silences of the caravans that plough through the desert and the scent of musk, incense and myrrh that you perceive in eastern, arabesques buildings.
A dark, intense and sensual fragrance where Jasmine Sambac absolute reigns supreme, with a woody base.
This oud, is characterized by smoky nuances; a combination of incense and leather with strong animalesque accents and earthy scents.
As sweet as chocolate and as fragrant as honey, however leaving a bitter and salty aftertaste.
It was certainly not an easy task to “create” Oud Jasmin, the risk of trivializing those typically hot and mysterious facets ever present, but I believe that I have succeeded.
Furthermore, I would like to pay homage to all the fans, which in recent years, have shown absolute devotion to the creations of the Maison.
Oud Jasmin, a disturbing and ambiguous soul, which blends light, sensual Jasmine with the hot-woody shades of Burmese oud.
A dazzling scent, similar to a fire red flash” — press release of the brand. Oud Jasmine was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Antonio Visconti.

A lovely jasmine based Oriental composition, this is a beautiful multilayered indolic floral creation. There is a bit of Oud here but very slight compared to the dominant jasmine. The perfume has a very brief floral spicy opening with ylang-ylang, clove, saffron and cardamom. The prolonged heart showcases the jasmine in all its glory with notes of tuberose, rose and cedar. As the perfume dries down one can detect notes of Oud, vetiver, ambergris, benzoin and musk. The perfume has a beautiful strong white floral vibe to it start to finish. Unfortunately it is priced ridiculously high. Another minor quibble is the atrociously tacky presentation. The juice however is very beautiful. Unisex feminine leaning with outstanding sillage, projection and longevity. Enjoy.

This is another masterpiece from the house.
Strong Oud and Jasmine, as it was intended to be (words uttered by the creator, Antonio Visconti).
Indolic power jasmine and Tuberose enrich the slightly medicinal balsamic Oud.
If you want to experience what an indolic note smells like, sample this one!
Enough said, the other notes might be there as reinforcements, but hey, if it’s called Oud Jasmin it must be for a reason!

It’s more of a vintage jasmines than oud fragrance. It has that rancid jasmines ylang mix with hints of saffron, cloves, & cardamom. some cedar and slight woody notes and has nothing to do with oud!
It has that vintage quality creamy type of fragrance with state of sophistication. The top notes really tricks badly that made it quite bland and repetitive somehow but as it calms down it goes quite blessing and captivating!
This shouldn’t be classified in oud categorys, it should be classified in floral and roses category as the roses starts to rise after 5 to 10 minutes of applying making the blend works miracles on my skin! I need to test this more to check if there is any charms it brings.
Edit (3rd April 2017) I believe the tuberose rises after that bringing the spices up with mild sweetness and sharp jasmines. It reminds me allot of Millar Harris “Noix de Tubereuse” with the spice tuberose.
