One of my favourite fragrance notes is Jasmine, except in Thierry Mugler Angel (vile), it was in the notes of my wedding fragrance which Bvlagri has sadly discontinued. L’Occitane have released a new Eau de Toilette called Rose Jasmin and I’ve been wearing it for the past few weeks now and I absolutely love it. Rose is one of those scents that I find people either love or hate, for me if it is a fresh scent and by that I mean not manufactured to smell like Rose, then I love it.
Described as being a delicate, fresh and floral fragrance that is elegant and feminine, Rose Jasmin Eau de Toilette is a celebration of the modern woman; feminine and floral with an individual twist. It comes packaged in the most beautiful of muted pink bottles which is quite unlike other L’Occitane fragrances that I have used and I love the style.
This delicately crafted floral bouquet combines the noble rose centifolia, evocative of modern femininity and sweet jasmine wrapped in a veil of white musk and woody notes for a feminine and floral fragrance.
So quite the description of the fragrance from L’Occitane and the perfume notes give the impression that it could be anything but floral, but it most definitely sits in the floral family category. Opening with top notes of lemon and peppercorn you get that freshness without the tart citrus note because for me, the heart notes appear very quickly with the Rose Centifolia which is sweet and subtle, Jasmine Absolute which is really uplifting and calming and then Magnolia which pairs really well with Jasmine and is a sweeter floral note. The base notes of Cedarwood, Musk, Oak Moss, Lorenox come together to add that woody effect to work with those florals.
This isn’t an overwhelming fragrance at all, it is delicate and floral and one which lingers all day on the skin or on your chosen clothing. It is just absolutely delightful as a fragrance, definitely one for spring and summer.
If you love Rose and Jasmin as fragrances notes, aside from the perfume there is also a shower gel and body lotion, making the perfect trip for laying the scent to really make it stand out. The fragrance is priced at £52 for 50ml, which is a great price point and is up there with one of my favourite L’Occitane Eau de Toilettes.
