Jasmin Noir L’Essence

Jasmin Noir L'Essence opens on green-tinged gardenia, a cool, slightly leafy white floral that signals this is no simple jasmine soliflore. The heart is the core of the composition: jasmine sambac paired with almond, the nutty sweetness softening the flower's indolic edge and giving the scent its distinctive creamy-bitter character. Collectors familiar with the original Jasmin Noir will find the same architecture, but here the almond is more pronounced and the whole feels rounder.

The base is where the Oriental Floral label earns its keep — tonka bean and licorice bring a dark, sweet-spicy undercurrent, while precious woods, patchouli, amber and musk lay down a warm, resinous foundation that lingers close to the skin. It suits wearers who want a white floral with weight and shadow rather than airy brightness, and it performs best in cooler weather or evening settings. A discontinued Bvlgari release from 2008, it rewards collectors seeking the almond-jasmine accord at full strength.

呢支 2008 年 Bvlgari 停產作品，開場係帶綠意嘅梔子花，清涼微葉感，唔係單純白花咁簡單。中調係整支香嘅核心：茉莉 Sambac 配杏仁，果仁甜潤中和咗白花嘅吲哚感，做出標誌性嘅奶滑微苦質地。基調由零陵香豆同甘草帶出深色甜辣底蘊，再加珍貴木、廣藿香、琥珀同麝香，溫暖樹脂感貼膚留香。整體屬東方花香調，白花比重最高，杏仁同甜感緊隨其後。適合想要白花有厚度、有陰影而唔追求輕盈明亮嘅用家，秋冬或晚間場合最啱。對收藏家嚟講，呢支係杏仁茉莉組合最完整嘅版本之一，值得入手。
