Don't Tell Jasmine

Don't Tell Jasmine offers a bold, uncompromising interpretation of jasmine that feels raw and unfiltered. It presents a dry, almost bitter jasmine note with a pronounced citrus sharpness, primarily from lemon, giving it an aggressive, fresh dimension that some find overwhelming. The perfume lacks sweetness, making it feel closer to a wild jasmine bush than a perfumed blossom. Reports describe it as intense, in-your-face, and physically present, with no nuance or softness—more like a shot of whiskey than a floral bouquet. Its strength and dryness make it stand out among typical jasmine scents, which often lean sweet or saccharine. Many appreciate its realism and depth, particularly those seeking a serious, mature, indolic jasmine scent, while others find it sharp, acidic, and even headache-inducing. It’s best suited for sophisticated, confident wearers who embrace strong fragrances and appreciate minimalism.
