What does Jasmin et Cigarette smell like?

It opens with the green, sharp side of clary sage and galbanum. In the heart, turmeric adds spice next to the jasmine, and the floral character turns harder with spicy and smoky tones. The base brings tonka bean sweetness and maté absolute, and the scent dries down woody with a faintly synthetic feel.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. It was released as a women's fragrance, and most voters call it feminine, though a fair share find it masculine.
