Jasmin Kusamono, from Giorgio Armani was released in 2020. The perfumer behind this creation is Dominique Ropion. It has the top notes of Nashi Pear and Pink Pepper, middle notes of Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, and Orange Blossom, and base notes of Cedarwood and Sandalwood.
Jasmin Kusamono is the epitome of a fresh and clean jasmine-forward scent. Initially it opens very fresh and fruity from the Nashi Pear, with a sharp kick from the pink pepper. However, within seconds you’re greeted by a powerful and dominant jasmine note which is thick and soapy. The heart is comprised of a trio of classic white florals - lily of the valley, orange blossom and most importantly jasmine which takes the forefront. These rest on a creamy, musky base of sandalwood to give it some lasting power. This isn’t necessarily a complex scent, however it’s a fantastic option for lovers of jasmine and has surprisingly good longevity for a fragrance as fresh as this. Jasmine has been my mother’s favourite smell for all of her life and so this scent will be a gift to her, so that she can smell it wherever she goes.
