The story behind the bottle.
Jasmin Noir by Bvlgari was launched in 2008 and created by Carlos Benaïm and Sophie Labbé. This fragrance occupies a debated middle ground between classic floral and modern oriental-gourmand styles, making it both familiar and intriguing. The composition opens with gardenia and jasmine sambac, which are quickly enveloped by the nutty warmth of almond and tonka bean, before settling into an amber and musk base that lends depth and complexity. This elegant blend has developed a notable cult following, often described as an 'elegant little black dress' signature scent.
Apply Jasmin Noir with two sprays to ensure the full depth of its notes unfolds. The almond and vanilla notes are particularly warm, so it reads best close to skin rather than filling a room. It's an ideal daytime scent that transitions seamlessly into evening.
