Our verdict on A La Nuit: Favourite

This is a fiercely divisive jasmine, a brutalist monument to the flower's natural glory. You'll either adore its raw, indolic intensity or recoil from its animalic edge. If you want a 'real' jasmine, this is it, but be warned: it doesn't muck about.

Casual

Its potent projection and distinctive, indolic jasmine note make it too intense for most office environments. It excels on dates and formal evenings, where its sensual and bold character shines, though some find it casual enough for everyday wear.

About

Imagine burying your face in a jasmine bush at midnight, dewy petals and green stems pressing against your skin. A La Nuit captures that exact moment, an unadorned, hyper-realistic jasmine bomb. Hints of sweet, golden honey and an earthy, animalic musk emerge, grounding the heady floral blast. There's a subtle metallic spice from clove that adds intrigue, ensuring the jasmine remains captivatingly complex, never overtly clean or simple.
