The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2008, Essence Jasmine by Donna Karan is a Floral fragrance that embodies the designer's signature blend of elegance and simplicity. The composition opens with fresh, vibrant white florals that give way to a subtle animalic undertone, creating an intriguing contrast between delicate beauty and sensual depth. This fragrance reflects the brand’s commitment to crafting pieces that seamlessly transition from day into night.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of Essence Jasmine. The fresh top notes are bright but fleeting, while the base notes provide a lasting warmth that complements both daytime and evening wear.
