Jasmin Rouge
Fragrance notes
Character
Jasmin Rouge takes the usual soft, powdery jasmine soliflore and runs it through ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper first, so the opening feels hot and dry before any flower shows up. Rodrigo Flores-Roux composed it for Tom Ford in 2011, and the spice never fully steps aside, it just moves into the background once jasmine, ylang-ylang, neroli and broom take hold in the heart, filling out a bouquet that stays loud rather than shy.
Clary sage adds a slightly hay-like, herbal note underneath the flowers, cutting the sweetness with something drier and greener before it can turn cloying. Amber, vanille and French labdanum build a warm, sweet base, and a thread of leather gives it a harder, less sugary edge underneath, pulling the drydown away from the bright, spiced opening entirely.
It performs best in spring and fall, working just as well on a daytime errand as it does dressed up for dinner. Staying power lands in the middle, comfortable without being stubborn, and the sillage forms a small bubble that only becomes obvious once you lean in. Tangled in cinnamon sticks and dried ginger, a jasmine vine seems to climb straight up a spice rack by the finish.
