It's hard to imagine a modern women's perfume without the enchanting and royally luxurious scent of jasmine. The name of the plant in Persian means "fragrant flower" and fully corresponds to it.
Its magical smell is comparable only to a divine rose, so the word "royal" is often attached to it. Jasmine was called a symbol of love, magical properties were attributed to it, and the ancient Chinese emperors enjoyed its beauty and fragrance in their gardens.
A little about varieties
There are many varieties of this plant and each has individual characteristics. For example, sambac has a grassy aroma with subtle musky notes. And the most common in perfumery grandiflorum is rich in hints of fruit, in which banana and apricot accents are clearly perceptible.
However, the most valuable species in the world is grown in French Grasse. Its absolute is very expensive, since the production technology is costly and very complex. Today in the world there is only one perfume based on it -Chanel 5. In other cases, synthetic substitutes are used, which, of course, are in many ways inferior to the true fragrance of the royal flower.
The most pronounced notes of the smell of this plant can be heard in the perfume "Yves Rocher Jasmine Tender", "Beauty" by Calvin Klein, Jasmine Full by "Montal" and many others, which we will talk about today.
No.5
They have been called a composition that deceived the time, a symbol of elegance, a revolution in the art of perfumery and a masterpiece of the great Coco Chanel. They fell in love with the bohemia of Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, and now they are chosen by modern world stars.
At the dawn of the last century, women's perfume with jasmine from Chanel was really exclusive. Mademoiselle Coco asked Ernest Beaux to create a fragrance that has not yet been found in nature. He succeeded. In 1921, he offered several options for essences to choose from. Chanel preferred the one that was number 5. So the masterpiece was called.
Incredibly, the true composition of the perfume is still kept a secret. It is only known that Ernest Bo experimented with aldehydes, which, despite the pungent smell, became dominant among the other 80 components.
Fragrance Description
So, Chanel No. 5 is a classic evening perfume that suits women of the "summer" type. For sanguine and choleric people, its sound "weights" a little and makes it slow down. Its smell is sophisticated and at the same time strict, seductive, but at the same time feminine. If you can't make friends withthe first time, do not be sad - you just need to grow up to the aroma.
Perfume with jasmine Chanel No. 5 - a bouquet consisting of abstract flowers, revealing the nobility and individuality of its mistress. From the first notes, the composition explodes with aldehyde accents and soon shifts to sensual chords of rose, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley. The lightness of jasmine from Grasse, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla and sultry vetiver stays on the skin and delights with its fragrance for a long time.
It cannot be called a sillage, but it is very persistent. The fragrance "sits" close to the body and excites the senses. Chanel No. 5 smells like a woman - subtle but damn exciting.
The appearance of the bottle, as well as the sound, did not correspond to the spirit of the last century. At that time, perfume companies were sophisticated in design: vessels were made of crystal, encrusted with precious stones, and as a result they became like works of art.
Mademoiselle Coco showed her asceticism here too. She proposed to the designers a simple glass container in the shape of a parallelepiped, which more closely resembled men's cologne. Then it looked at least eccentric. The only attempt to change the appearance is dated 1924. The bottle has acquired beveled, slightly rounded edges and a cork that looks like an emerald. But Koko quickly returned the vessel to its former shape.
