Parfums Artimique Jasmin Gyokuro is an intoxicating scent that embodies the essence of sultry summers, jasmine in bloom. Jasmine’s captivating scent haunts the air, creating an atmosphere filled with tension and desire. Perfumer Cristiano Canali has skillfully composed a fresh and nuanced interpretation of this classic floral fragrance style. It’s no small feat to create a jasmine-centred perfume. Parfums Artimique has succeeded giving use something unique and is a Finalist in the Independent Category for the prestigious Art and Olfaction Awards 2024.
Parfums Artimique Jasmin Gyokuro perfectly captures the essence of jasmine at dusk, transitioning from a fresh, vibrant soft floral scent to a more intoxicating and alluring aroma as the day fades into night. Jasmin Gyokuro has a clever contemporary twist that incorporates a delicate touch of Japanese Kawaii, evolving from a playful innocence to a sultry sophistication, encapsulating the wild beauty of jasmine flowers in a fresh way.

A burst of fresh juicy pear and soft citrus aroma flows from Parfums Artimique Jasmin Gyokuro as it envelops you. It feels as though you’ve taken a bite of a ripe pear, releasing its succulent juices filled with a gentle floral haze that seems to radiate a soft sunshine. There are hints of green and soft woody undertones lingering beneath, as a bouquet of warm blossoms bloom with an intoxicating floral scent. Even without the Gyokuro tea reference, there’s a distinctly Japanese vibe to Jasmin Gyokuro, with the fresh pear evoking thoughts of fruity drinks and delicious deserts while subtle green tea notes begin to shine through with a delicate grassy feel that is strangely creamy in a delightful way. Slowly the pear infuses its essence into the jasmine petals, conjuring a softly sensual crushed silk sensation, while tuberose whispers of innocent buttery skin. This combination enriches the jasmine, making it delicate yet voluptuous; exuding a refined airy elegance and grace with a soft honeyed mimosa like floral wrapping it in a powdery, golden veil. The pear warms up alongside Tiare flower, smoothing out the texture of the petals, creating a silk-like feel warmed by the skin, as clean and hazy musks enhance the richness of the jasmine, evoking a gentle narcotic haze as if the sun is setting. Subtle flashes of grassy greens add depth to this beautifully abstract floral experience, exuding a stunning refined delicacy reminiscent of Japanese porcelain, with a smoothness that feels like the glaze on porcelain cups, while musky notes create a soft, intoxicating steam of green jasmine tea rising. The fragrance delicately blends fruity and green notes, allowing the florals to merge into a deliciously musky, warm, light golden haze.

As the dry down settles, a delicate blend of floral and musky notes envelops my skin, exuding an alluring and gentle aura. The prominent floral elements gracefully intertwine with subtle aromatic hits, creating a shimmering sensation of greenery. The addition of sweet vegetal tea-like tones gives a captivating twist to the already creamy and dreamy floral composition. Although the pear freshness and texture take a backseat now, it still contributes to the luxurious sensation of crushed silk from the intoxicating haze of jasmine petals.

The deep dry down makes the gentle warmth of summer’s sun emanate from your skin, enveloping you in a soft, musky glow as the floral notes of Jasmin Gyokuro blend seamlessly into a delicate honeyed musk. Vetiver adds a subtle smoky rooty richness to this musky scent, with hints of peppery aromatics that transform the yellowed floral haze into a slightly green hue. There’s a touch of earthiness and rootiness in the musk, reminiscent of ambrette seeds, as the fragrance evolves throughout the day, like petals fading into a buttery sunset. Jasmin Gyokuro leaves you with a lingering embrace of musky florals that feels irresistibly romantic, like a hug that promises more… it’s a joy to wear on a warm or hot day, especially as that musky sensual dry down envelops you as it takes you on a journey from the fresh playful opening to that magic musky dry down. I’m very excited to see where Parfums Artimique takes us next!
