Jasmin et Cigarette

About

A dry green opening of galbanum and sage shifts into dense jasmine warmed by curcuma. Tonka and mate in the base add soft sweetness and a tannic tea trace. On skin, it stays close, calm, and lightly smoky.

Jasmin et Cigarette opens with a dry green accord of galbanum and sage: the start is sharp, herbal, and cool-bitter. After a few minutes, the composition softens and jasmine absolute moves to the center—not a bright bouquet, but a denser, slightly creamy floral tone. Curcuma adds a warm spicy nuance and keeps the fragrance in a dry, almost powdery register. In the base, tonka beans bring gentle sweetness while mate leaves a tart tea-like trail. The projection stays close to the skin and reads as a calm, slightly smoky floral-woody silhouette. It suits anyone who wants jasmine without sugary airiness, with more character and texture. It wears especially well in the evening and in cooler weather, when its dry herbal facets are most defined.
