by Shanghai Tang
Spring Jasmine by Shanghai Tang is a highly authentic, creamy, and fresh interpretation of Jasminum officinale, capturing the delicate grace of the white blossom without synthetic sterility. The scent unfolds with a crisp, clean bamboo opening that feels natural and grounding, followed by a luminous core of jasmine—richly indolic yet soft, sensual, and gently sweet. The dry down reveals warm, damp wood, steamy musk, and a quiet balsamic depth from olibanum, giving the fragrance a serene, spa-like quality. It feels approachable and feminine, with a touch of green freshness and humidity that evokes a humid spring day in an East Asian forest or an evening stroll through jasmine-laden gardens. The fragrance is delicate, well-balanced, and deeply personal, with a texture that melts into the skin and lingers with a soft, moist elegance for moderate length. The scent works best in spring and summer, especially during daylight hours, and suits those seeking a refined, softly floral perfume that feels dreamy, authentic, and comforting. While it doesn’t project strongly, it maintains a modest sillage that lingers subtly, making it ideal for sensitive occasions or for women who appreciate a deeply personal, quiet scent. It’s especially cherished by jasmine lovers who seek realism over theatricality, reminiscent of real blossoms rather than exaggerated versions like Alien.
