Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge Eau de Parfum 50mL

Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge smells like jasmine at its most decadent rather than its most delicate. It opens with a dry, aromatic bite of peppercorn and clary sage, then moves into a saturated, slightly indolic jasmine and ylang ylang heart before closing in a warm, resinous glow of labdanum and amber.

The key notes in Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge are black and white peppercorn and clary sage on top, sambac jasmine sepals absolute and ylang ylang at the heart, and labdanum resin with amber in the base. The spice gives the opening its edge, while the resin and amber add warmth.

Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge belongs to the floral spicy family. That means a jasmine-led floral treated with pepper, sage and amber rather than sweetness, so it reads as bold and warm instead of soft or sugary.

Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge is an Eau de Parfum in a 50mL bottle, part of the Tom Ford Private Blend collection. The Eau de Parfum concentration gives it a rich, enveloping presence, which suits wearers who want the jasmine, spice and amber to be noticed.

Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge is best suited to evenings, date nights and cooler-weather dressing. Its peppery opening, saturated jasmine heart and resinous amber base feel warm and dramatic, which suits after-dark occasions better than hot summer days.

Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge suits jasmine lovers who want a darker, spicier take on the flower and enjoy bold, confident florals. Anyone who prefers a delicate, soft white floral may find its peppery, indolic character and amber warmth too intense.

Yes, Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge makes a strong gift for someone who enjoys bold, confident florals or already loves jasmine. It is a 50mL Eau de Parfum added to the Private Blend collection in 2011, so it feels like a distinctive, special choice.
