4711 Floral Collection Jasmine Original Eau de Cologne Review
Share
Perfumers since the 18th Century, 4711 bring their Floral Collection to the table again with Jasmine Original Eau de Cologne. Launched in 2019, this refreshing, feminine scent is perfect for women of any age who adore white florals and softened citrusy aromas.
What Does It Smell Like:
A refreshing cup of jasmine green tea with a zesty slice of lemon on the side, Jasmine Original Eau de Cologne is an astringent blend of citrusy notes that very quickly soften with the help of cosy woods and soft musk.
The refreshingly sweet scent opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and neroli which is rounded off by the comforting aroma of tea.
A glistening heart of jasmine offers a sweet floral green tone creating that undeniable freshness that stays prominent throughout the scent. Woody warmth seeps in at the base of the aroma with the addition of cedarwood, velvety tonka bean and creamy musk for a lingering finish.
Perfumes That Smell Similar Are…
This fragrance has the same white floral accords as Amouage Ashore, but it’s a fraction of the price!
Jasmine Original’s Longevity…
Although Jasmine Original is an Eau de Cologne, expected to last up to 3 hours on the skin, it has this incredible ability to outshine all expectations. It certainly took me by surprise when I could still smell a toned-down version on my t-shirt at the end of the day.
The silage of the scent is rated weak-moderate on Fragrantica, but when put to the test in the office, its refreshing scent was smelt from over an arms length away – performing better than some Eau de Toilettes have in the past!
Jasmine Original Eau de Cologne Wears Well During…
The daytime due to fresh citrusy bergamot and invigorating tea notes that awaken the senses. Warmer notes of cedarwood help to soften the fragrance, giving it an irresistible radiance that lasts throughout the day.
Jasmine Original Eau de Cologne’s Design and Aesthetic Is Special Because…
The glass bottle that contains the fragrance is consistent with the rest of the 4711 floral collection. The iconic Molanus design – which has remained virtually unchanged since 1820 – is wrapped in vintage, gold imagery that gives it that antique and expensive look.
Sustainability/Eco-friendly Summary…
The fragrance is made with a high concentration of natural ingredients, including jasmine, neroli, tonka bean, and musk. 4711 as a brand are committed to sustainability and are taking steps to reduce their environmental impact by packaging their scents in recyclable glass bottles and cardboard boxes.
My Overall Experience
Jasmine Original Eau de Cologne is a charming scent that won me over once the notes settled. I love the way it starts strong with awakening citrusy notes but – as if it’s mimicking a cup of jasmine green tea with lemon – it quickly softens into a refreshing, warm aura.
You Will Love Jasmine Original If…
If you love feminine fragrances with white floral accords such as Amouage Ashore or Neroli Portofino Acqua by Tom Ford.
