WOOD JASMIN

BDK Parfums signs Wood Jasmin, a sensual and animalic unisex eau de parfum, created in Paris on the Left Bank, with an intense floral heart and a warm, amber, resinous base.

The Fragrance

Wood Jasmin was born as a tribute to Eastern palaces: perfumer Camille Leguay imagined a prince or princess of the Orient in a sumptuous palace, wrapped in a mystical atmosphere evoking the journey to the East. Mystical woods and a retro soul, almost like a vintage liqueur, intertwine for a regal elegance embellished with brown and golden reflections.

How It Evolves on Skin

Wood Jasmin opens with plum and pear, a juicy, wine-like entrance. The heart brings Egyptian jasmine, Sambac jasmine, Turkish rose and davana, for an intense, sensual floral passage. The base settles on Somali incense, Madagascan vanilla, Indonesian patchouli, Spanish labdanum and Indian nagarmotha cyperus, closing with a warm, resinous, enveloping finish.

Who We Recommend Wood Jasmin To

Wood Jasmin is made for those who love fragrances with character, capable of pairing a juicy opening with an intense floral heart and a warm, resinous base. It's perfect for the cold season, for those looking for a statement fragrance to save for the most refined occasions, and for those who aren't afraid of fragrances with a sensual, slightly animalic soul.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

What convinces us about Wood Jasmin is its ability to surprise from the very first spray, with an opening that skips the obvious route before settling into a rich floral heart and a warm, resinous base. It's a fragrance that anyone looking for something outside the ordinary ends up appreciating precisely for this bold, almost animalic character, one that doesn't leave you indifferent.

FAQ

Why does Wood Jasmin open with plum instead of jasmine?
The name celebrates the floral heart and the woody-resinous base of the composition, but the opening deliberately plays with a juicy plum accord that introduces the fragrance in an unexpected way.

Where does Wood Jasmin sit within the BDK Parfums catalogue?
Unlike the fragrances of the Collection Matières, built around a single raw material, Wood Jasmin belongs to the House's more narrative compositions: created in Paris on the Left Bank in 2016 by perfumer Camille Leguay, it's meant to be lived as a story — the imagined world of a prince or princess of the Orient — rather than the exploration of a single ingredient.

What does "animalic" mean for Wood Jasmin?
It refers to a deep, enveloping sensuality, given by the intense floral heart and the resinous base, which make the fragrance warm and magnetic on the skin.
