Jasmin Cruel

Jasmin Cruel by the British house Edeniste, composed by Aurélien Guichard and released in 2022, is a green, woody white floral worn by anyone. Floral is the word everyone uses; about half also call it woody, and a minority find it musky or citrusy.

Bergamot opens it with zest, and green notes add a crisp, leafy, slightly bitter freshness that gives the start its edge. The heart is a white-flower study: jasmine for a heady, honeyed, slightly indolic richness, tuberose for a creamy, waxy depth, orange blossom for a sunny glow and neroli for a bittersweet, cleaner shade of the same flower. The base is dry and smooth: cedar for a pencil-shaving wood, sandalwood for creaminess and musk for a soft finish.

It wears as a modern jasmine with a green, woody frame rather than a sweet one, suited to spring and summer and both day and evening. It suits someone who loves jasmine and tuberose and wants them crisp and shared rather than powdery or vanillic.
