The order of a scent

Jasmine, 2011: Jasmin Rouge · 462

Choose Jasmine by the note, not by the bottle photo. “Jasmin Rouge” in 2011 titles that note, and 2011 is strength or time. Shop lighting is not lasting power. IFRA sets industry limits on some naturals and synthetics. A reformulation is usually a legal edit, not a betrayal. This atlas is not a safety sheet.

Jasmine sits in the Bloom group of this atlas. Flower families — mixed bouquets, white petals, rose, jasmine, iris powder and fruit nectar. Sambac or grandiflorum — cream by day, animal gold after dusk. Concentration is oil in alcohol, not a quality score. EDT (about 5–15%) shows more top; EDP (about 15–20%) shows more heart and base. Houses vary; this is not a lab assay.

One or two sprays on skin or cloth — sternum or hair, not a cloud in a lift. Let it turn an hour before you add more. Warm evenings. Cold rooms turn it soapy. Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter.

Any ethics or materials I should know? Read the materials chapter for the actual load. Niche and designer often share a family and disagree on dose. No. This atlas is cultural and editorial. Fragrance can irritate; oakmoss, eugenol, citrus oils and musks are common triggers. See a clinician for reactions. Nothing here is a diagnosis, treatment or safety sheet.

On the blotter, keep 2011, “Jasmin Rouge,” and 2011. Without them Jasmine blurs.2011
