Creed Jasmal is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1959, created by James Henry Creed. Jasmal opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Ambergris and Galbanum. Creed's Jasmal carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive jasmine, Jasmal is either a regal, naturalistic floral masterpiece or an 'old-fashioned' indolic beast. Try before you buy, but if it works for you, it really works.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

While some find it 'too strong' or 'heavy', others appreciate its 'regal' presence. Its moderate longevity and sillage mean it's suitable for various settings, though the strong, indolic floral character might be too much for a confined office space, making it better for special occasions or outdoors.

About

Jasmal opens with a brief, bright whisper of bergamot before plunging into an intensely authentic jasmine heart. This isn't a shy, sweet jasmine; it's a full-bodied, slightly animalic floral, capturing the flower at its peak bloom, leaves and all. As it settles, the jasmine is grounded by earthy galbanum and a touch of sparkling, salty ambergris, adding depth and a 'green tannic note' that keeps the heady floral from becoming overwhelming. It's clean yet carnal, simple yet rich.
