Penhaligon's The Bewitching Yasmine was launched in 2017 as a part of the Portraits line. Centered on jasmine, it makes it more interesting with notes of cardamom, coffee, Jasmine sambac, fir, Tahitian vanilla, Laotian oud and incense. It is an eau de parfum, edp
From the brand - "Yasmine’s sights are set on London – and a suitable match. Her amber fragrance is a voluptuous affair: jasmine, incense, oud. A celebration of all that is gloriously sensual. Who could resist?"
Fragrantica - "I am head over heels with this fragrance. It's rich, deep and beautiful. The first spray is already spicy, not so much of a straight up dry spice since the coffee is there but enough to make your nose itch a bit. As it warms up on your skin you'll get this sweet oud, not overly animalic but just the right amount to both be able to percieve it and still be general-public-appropiate, I also get this beautiful green sweetness from the jasmine and then this rich gourmand undertone with the vanilla coming to play without turning it into a bland sweet-wannabe-arabic perfume, it mantains it's personality all throughout the wear. Definetly my favourite touch has to be incense, not ecclesiastic but almost bohemian. While I'm sure with the right attitude anyone could pull this off, it gives me this mental image of a girl that, no matter what, she is someone you feel drawn to, perhaps it's the way she does her hair or the way she always picks the best clothes, a style you could never emulate but always, always bewitching in her ways."
Fragrantica - "Caramel cream candies, warmed from the sun and a mug of coffee with vanilla creamer."
Fragrantica - "Cool cardamom-encrusted coffee and warm vanilla scented incense. Jasmine elegantly connects them. The development of the change of fragrance is also interesting, and it is a perfume that gives you a sense of depth."
Fragrantica - "This might be my favorite fragrance of all time. It’s soooo seductive and sexy but not in a “I want others to see me as sexy” way, but in a “I know myself and my worth and I am confident and don’t care about what others think” kind of way, if that makes any sense."
