Jasmin Rouge by Tom Ford is a lush, opulent jasmine soliflore that captures the intoxicating essence of a blooming Sambac jasmine bush. The fragrance opens with a vibrant wave of bright bergamot, mandarin orange, and warm spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger, which lend a sharp, aromatic freshness. The heart is dominated by a dense, creamy jasmine, layered with ylang-ylang, neroli, and clary sage, creating a rich, slightly indolic floral core that feels deeply natural and morphological. As it settles, the scent mellowed by a warm vanilla and amber base, subtly supported by leather, woodsy notes, and labdanum. The performance is moderate in longevity—most agree it lasts 5 to 8 hours, with sillage at arm’s length initially, tapering to a close-to-skin intimate effect. While some users find it underwhelming due to its linear development or perception of weak projection, others experience profound sensory resonance, describing it as photorealistic, soul-stirring, and on par with the finest in white floral perfumery. It is widely regarded as ideal for summer and evening wear, with a soft, sensual allure that suits confident, sensual women, though some men have reported finding it appealing as well.
