Tom Ford JASMIN ROUGE

Product Information

Got this perfume for myself after testing it and falling in love with it. If I had to describe it the best way would be this:

Jasmin Rouge Tom Ford perfume - a fragrance for women 2011

This stuff looks kind of crazy on paper, with a long list of exotic spices that would lead the reviewer to expect some sort of Orientalist fantasy carpet. But Jasmin Rouge has a touch of the gourmand supporting its jasmine, with those spices acting as mouthwatering garnishes to its underpinnings of (yes, that is really Mexican) vanilla. Beautiful floral fragrance. Went to Tom Ford store and the staff recommended me to buy this saying that it is a unisex fragrance. I’m guy and I know fragrance has no gender but I feel that this one smells more feminine. I didn’t buy this but, I just applied one spray on my shirt and now the whole room is smelling good because that shirt is hanging in the corner of my room. As it dries down, the ylang ylang begins to peek out, warming the jasmine just a bit. Perhaps it's this combination that people mistake for tuberose? The ylang does add a bit of a tropical note to JR, so I can see why people might read it as tuberose. But for me, it's unmistakably still jasmine with just a hint of tropical ylang. And later, it evolved. This time, the scenery changed; a magical breezy night in Greece or Italy. You walk through those narrow alleys filled with jasmin crawling up the houses, in an unknown part of the island with the love of your life holding your hand. A feeling of deep love and warmth, with just a hint of mystery.

Sillage is ok, the notes I can detect stay with same for me. Longevity is very good, as I could still smell this on my coat the next day. Jasmine Rouge is neither a compliment to jasmine or anything else. It's basic, pungent, linear and ultimately uninspired. If you want to smell of jasmine you could easily do better at a fraction of the cost. There is a reason the most "like it" fragrance on here is Lust by Lush. This is for people that want to say they're wearing Tom Ford and don't really care if they're smelling like a floral bath bomb. This is the only feminine fragrance that I own and wear. I like the smell of it but it does not last long and I find myself reapplying it every two hours or so. I wore this to church and it literally brought me and everyone around me so much joy, everyone loved it. It is a bright and sweet perfume with hints of spice. It has a bit of a medicinal note that comes down in the middle of drying which I think could be the cardamom note. It does wear off as it continues to dry down, the spices also wear off and FINALLY you are left with a smooth Jasmin Amber. The Medicinal note reminded me of Alien Essence Absolu. (They do not smell the same at all but gives me the same vibes.) For a TF scent it is a wonderfully soft and gentle scent, very subtle, which I personally prefer to very strong and dominant scents.

Sillage is epic and gorgeous and sinuous. Use sparingly, or your whole life will be redolent with Jasmin Rouge (which is perfectly fine by me, but for others? Courtesy should be exercised.) You know those times when you smell something so divine, so perfectly constructed for your tastes, so masterfully blended, it's like you've finally caught the white whale? That's Jasmin Rouge for me.One of my favorites from Tom Ford because it feels unique to me with the strong Jasmine but balanced with the vanilla. I bought the EDT and it did t last as long so got the EDP and it’s much longer wearing. I love this one so much that I don’t mind having both because I wear it often. A few years ago, Jasmin Rouge would have had me rushing immediately to the perfume store. The idea of a jasmine laced with spices and enrobed in ambers and woods would have been so appealing that I doubt I would have followed the sensible rule of never buying blindly. Yet, today Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge arrives at a moment when there are already several excellent jasmine dominated compositions on the market so it has plenty of competition. It is an elegant composition, but given its luxurious pricing, I would prefer more surprise and character. Just bought this frag and wearing it for the second time today. Very clean Jasmin scent. I only get Jasmin. Very potent. Do not use more than two sprays or people around you won’t be too happy . Six hours after the spray - dry down is calm, becomes some kind of a body scent that I have trouble identifying but reminds me of some retro fragrance. Still can smell Jasmin in it though. I do like the trail it leaves and do quite enjoy this scent. I’m not good with notes and such so I’m going to leave it here: nice Jasmin scent. Very simple but pleasant. I don’t think this is a crowd pleaser but I like it I've been craving jasmine, but all of the jasmine dominant scents I've been smelling have been just missing the mark. So many jasmines turn screechy and cold on me, but I knew there was one out there that would stay warm and heady. I just had to keep looking (er... smelling).

Okay, so I initially loved this but now I've come around to it being pretty boring ... and Gucci Bloom being more enjoyable than this. They're sort of similar, but Gucci Bloom is brighter and more fun. This has a strange rubbery texture that just doesn't quite work. Glad I didn't buy a full bottle and decided to continue using the sample until I'd used it all. I like this: it's basically straight up creamy jasmine, I don't get much of the other notes. It's pretty, leaning just more towards warm than cold, giving it the tiniest touch of sensuality.I bought it maybe 8-9 years ago and have just a little bit left. It does smell just like the Lust by Lush but so much less aggressive. The jasmine character of Jasmin Rouge runs through the entire composition, from the green top notes laced with orange and cardamom to the ambery and indolic drydown. The crisp freshness of the opening accords is layered over the voluptuous richness of the floral notes. While jasmine is the main floral character, there is a distinctive presence of orange blossom and ylang ylang, which have a beautiful buttery quality. The bright, resinous note of pepper suggests both incense and wood, while the sweetness of vanilla rounds out its sharpness. During mid development,spices becomes stronger with dominant cinnamon but the main players are still jasmine and ylang-ylang.
