Le Jasmin Miller Harris for women and men

For a scent called Le Jasmin this starts very citrusy, fresh, fruity and slightly aromatic with lavender and rosemary. The opening feels very bright, uplifting and refreshing. It settles indeed into a white floral forward fragrance once it gets to the heart notes. The jasmine from the name accompanied by orange blossom and ylang ylang create a rich, vibrant and beautiful floral bouquet. My favourite phase in the fragrance development.

It’s smells beautiful and natural on both stages actually and it’s definitely a very dynamic fragrance. I think that this evolving structure creates a very versatile fragrance that it’s perfect for both spring and summer season.

Once it gets to the dry down the most prominent notes I detect are still the florals: jasmine, orange blossom with the addition of woody facets thanks to the cedar. Maybe some vague white musk but not much.

All in one, I love Le Jasmin. Unlike Craft&Glamour, the performance on this one is very mediocre. It lasts for about 3 hours on skin and 6 hours on clothing with an intimate sillage. This is the type of fragrance that you wear it for yourself and mainly in high heat.

I have tested this perfume over and over again to understand it. My initial reaction years ago was ‘no way’, just too brash! Not my MH.
Then, years passed and I’m still trying it out, giving it a chance after a chance, and coming back to it like I still want to understand it.
My interpretation might make you laugh…
The initial stage feels like a tantrumy child screaming its head off, with its citrusy blast. But, after 15-20 minutes it all calmes down to a comforting jasmine hum, still citrusy but now subdued. A perfect harmony, or peace if you prefer to say, at last.
Quite a gem if you take time to live with it.

Citrusy Jasmine.
A mix of eau de cologne and white florals. Quite understated and soft. Perfect for hot summer days when you want to smell fresh wearing citrus cologne with an extra je ne sais quoi. It dries down to something salty and mineral.
I like it! A lot!

Its lovely - fresh, tart (not sour like some chypres, the oakmoss is in right balance here), a slightly aromatic lemon/bergamot on jasmine. Me likey. Perfect on a warm spring early summer day when you want a scent that wakes you up, freshens you energetically, brightens you. If this was a colour it would be white.

A citrus bomb similar to PR Acqua Viva but without the longevity.

There is a proverb in our country that says "you can't have everything together: you can't have God and dates together"!
Miller Harris Le Jasmine perfume is a masterpiece of pure natural quality that lacks in performance. Well, It is expected and normal that when the quality of a perfume is so pure and excellent and the ideal type of a natural type, it should have a moderate power in spreading and staying power or to some extent be poor in performance of longevity and sillage! I think all of Miller Harris Somehow have average performance, but we need quality more/rather than performance! We need Miller Harris, Every now and then we need Miller Harris perfumes to remember the quality and artistic nature of perfume art!
Some of the fragrantica users want to close the case of Miller Harris perfumes once and for all, but we think that no one has given such a position and/or the Legitimate authority to these delusional people and they can only shut their mouths or open their minds once and for all.With Best regards and great respect for all delusional petty dictators😉

POV someone throws a LEMON herbal infused smushed snowball plat on your face, and you’re pissed cause whoa that’s a lotto lemon. Like this is an aggressive ducking lemon. Its the attack of the lemons good sir people! Like this is a huge mutant of the annual fair type y’all can smell 3 counties away lemon, like a lemon-aria that keeps crescendoing and i think omg I’m gonna die by lemon blast…. And then!!???—

Then? Well, it just stops, of course. The lemon tops have stopped crumbling into the world below. it’s intensive piercing has become absolutely serene. What once just seconds ago I could’ve sworn it was a lemon tsunami, is a placid stream passing the banks of the channel of what remains and stays for the duration of about 6-8 +hrs. This is a slightly sweet, soft, earthy musk of citrus: a lemony orange blossom of jasmine and herbs. I get a very light aquatic feeling from this. The jasmine is always present but it’s a very clean pristine dainty jasmine. Jasmine cradled in a morning dew of rosemary lavender frost. The citruses and orange blossom mixed with the oak moss and cedar is a savory yummy combo of zesty soft fuzziness. Never bitter. Sometimes green fragrances can develop a green peppery bitterness on my skin, but le Jasmin never takes on that route.

Is the lemon opening blast really that bad? I dunno, I can be dramatic at times lmao, either way I’ve come to crave the lemon Dom opening of this one. Le Jasmin is an easy daily grab and works well with life’s movements of emails and zoom calls and lunch making and some fixing up here and there and remains aromatic and refreshingly clean throughout.

Bergamot up front then dries to a musky jasmine. A greenness remains present, but it's all understated. MH pride themselves on using natural ingredients and it shows. The contrast with some other perfumes I own is stark. I'd describe this fairly as 'beautiful', something suited for daytime during summer at a formal party or wedding. It's not an indolic jasmine, or a sweet, sexy jasmine that appear in some beast mode designer perfumes. Maybe if Chanel's Pour Monsieur was crossed with Jasmine Rouge? Like both these scents performance is lasting but projection subtle, with a close bubble. Full retail is about £150 for 100ml, this is way too steep. I've seen it below £60 on discount, that's decent value in my book and my rating is based on that sort of price.

More citrus heavy cousin of Annick Goutal's Nimfeo Mio. The latter is a herbal green fig, with a citrus nuance, while this one is a citrus/bergamot green chypre, with a twist of jasmine.
Both has this cooling herbal freshness, both are awesome. Unisex, long lasting for a freshie due to oakmossy base.
Awesome!

I bought a travel spray of this one since it is no longer in production. I like chypre's and I like this house so I knew it would be good and it is. The only thing that is strange about this perfume is its name. Le Jasmin conjures up thoughts of a lush white floral bomb, this isn't that at all, in fact the jasmine is just a nuance. This is a classic aromatic, herbal, citrus and oakmoss chypre. It reminds me a bit of Eau de Patou by Jean Patou but this one is a lot more herbal but it is the same type of perfume. This is clean, unisex, even leaning masculine (I will still wear it though) aromatic and fresh spicy. Very brisk, would be a great wake me up scent to get you ready for your day much like the perfume I am wearing today (had to get up early LOL) Eau d' Hadrien by Goutal Paris. It will wake you up, put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Hello sun and hello world is what this type of fragrance says....

5/10

This is more of a citrus scent than a jasmine frag.
Citrus takes the center stage while jasmine lingers in the background but never steals the spotlight. The overall effect is very light green floral scent.
