 Fragrance Profile  

Wood Jasmin EDP opens with a burst of juicy plum, instantly creating a gourmand-like sweetness that is both rich and inviting. The pear adds a fresh, crisp edge to the opening, balancing the deep, fruity intensity of the plum. As the fragrance develops, the floral heart takes center stage, with Egyptian jasmine and Sambac jasmine lending a creamy, velvety texture. Turkish rose and Davana add a touch of spice and depth, making the floral notes more complex and intriguing.  

Occasion  

Wood Jasmin EDP is a versatile fragrance that works well for both casual and formal occasions. Its bold, fruity opening makes it a great choice for evening wear, particularly for romantic dinners or social gatherings. The warm, woody base also makes it suitable for daytime use during cooler months, especially in office settings where a more subtle, sophisticated scent is desired.  

Season  

This fragrance is best suited for fall and winter, where its warm, woody base and rich floral notes can shine. The plum and pear notes add a touch of juiciness that keeps it from feeling too heavy, but the smoky, resinous base may feel overpowering in the heat of summer. That said, it could still work for cooler spring nights or early autumn evenings.  

 Performance  

Wood Jasmin EDP performs exceptionally well, with a strong opening that gradually mellows into a warm, inviting dry down. The transition between the fruity top notes, floral heart, and woody base is seamless, creating a well-rounded scent experience. It’s a fragrance that feels luxurious and well-crafted, making it a solid choice for those who appreciate complexity and depth.
