by Trussardi
Pure Jasmine by Trussardi is a soft, creamy gourmand floral that centers on a delicate, airy jasmine blended with rich pistachio and milky vanilla. The opening features a bright, sparkling bergamot and neroli that quickly soften into the core - a lush, nutty, cotton-like pistachio note that feels smooth and indulgent, like edible pistachio ice cream. The jasmine, while present, is gently woven through rather than dominant; it gives a powdery, white floral quality that lacks intensity and doesn't evoke traditional jasmine. The drydown settles into a warm, musky-sweet base of sandalwood and vanilla, layered with a soft gauzy musk that drifts close to the skin. The sillage remains intimate, making it a scent that envelops rather than announces. It defies its name: not pure, not a chypre, and not overtly floral; instead, it’s a gently sweet, powdery, and creamy composition that feels feminine, elegant, and unexpectedly sophisticated despite its gourmand nature. Many note that it performs best in cooler weather, where its green, rubbery jasmine facets emerge more vividly. While not the strongest in longevity or sillage, many find its subtle projection and breathability make it ideal for daily wear, especially during autumn and winter.
