Jasmin Rouge by Tom Ford
Launch Year: 2011
Perfumer: Rodrigo Flores-Roux
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
Part of the Tom Ford Private Blend collection and winner of the 2012 Fragrance Foundation FiFi Award for Best New Fragrance. Built around Sambac Jasmine Sepals Absolute, an ingredient that had never previously been used in perfumery. Ginger, Cinnamon, Bergamot, Cardamom, Pepper and Mandarin Orange open with a vivid, warm and spiced brightness. Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Neroli, Broom and Clary Sage build a lush, heady and deeply saturated white floral heart of real intensity and sensuality. Amber, Vanilla, French Labdanum, Leather and Woodsy Notes close with a warm, resinous and quietly animalic base that gives the jasmine its distinctive rouge character.
Performance:
Good longevity with confident, enveloping projection. The spiced opening carries into a creamy vanilla-leather base that holds steadily for several hours. A fragrance that announces itself with conviction and lingers well beyond the first impression.
Ideal For:
Autumn and winter, and evening occasions. A boldly feminine oriental floral for those who love jasmine done with heat, spice and unapologetic sensuality — hedonistic, glamorous and built around one of the most rare and distinctive jasmine ingredients ever used in perfumery.
