Jasmin by Franck Boclet: Notes, Longevity and Review

What does Jasmin smell like?

Jasmin by Franck Boclet smells like white flowers over a warm, skin-like leather. Coriander, pink pepper, and geranium open with a green, spicy snap. The heart is a full floral bouquet: jasmine at the center with rose, ylang-ylang, and violet. The base turns animalic, leather and musk melting into the skin with a soft, sensual warmth. It is a jasmine with an edge, elegant but not innocent.

Notes, concentration and longevity

Jasmin was released in 2016 by Franck Boclet and is sold as an eau de parfum. The composition moves from bright spice to lush florals and finishes in an abstract animalic base.

• Top notes: coriander, pink pepper, geranium
• Heart notes: jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang, violet
• Base notes: animalic notes, leather, musk

This is a closer-wearing fragrance: expect around five hours of wear with low to moderate sillage. The florals lead the first hours, and the animalic leather-musk dry down is the part that stays with you.

On skin, the coriander and pink pepper sparkle for the first twenty minutes before the jasmine bouquet blooms. The animalic leather base arrives gradually and stays close, a warmth you notice more than others do. It rewards reapplication if you want the florals to carry through a full evening.

Best for

Best in spring and on warm evenings, when the florals bloom and the base turns skin-warm. It suits both men and women who like white florals with depth rather than sweetness. For a cleaner leather, Clean Suede keeps things smooth and fresh, while Oud Vendome offers a spicier, more resinous depth.

FAQ

Is the animalic base strong?

It is present but tamed: a soft leather-and-musk warmth rather than anything harsh. Reviewers describe it as blending into the skin.

Is Jasmin sweet?

No. Ylang-ylang adds a creamy touch, but the overall character is green, floral, and animalic, not sugary.

How long does Jasmin last?

Around five hours, which is modest. The sillage stays close, so it works best as a personal scent rather than a projector.
