Wood Jasmin BDK Parfums for women and men

Better than I expected. Given the name, I expected a woody jasmine but get a slightly sweetened balsam. Pleasant but not a love.

@yasminpol please write a book. You took me right to that horrible place how you described it. I am wearing wood yasmin now. It does not smell good. And now every time I will smell it. It will take me to some sort of community center backroom because of your story. greetings from Berlin Germany. ps the smell is really not nice to me. To be honest ALL bdk fragrances from the big sample pack are underwhelming. I think this brand is a good example why Arabian dupes are so populair. I would NEVER pay around euro 160,- to 190,- for a 100ml bottle for this quality. Sorry bdk you need to do better for this price rate.

Disgusting balsamic scent.
Good performance

Thankfully I only have the sample. I must be haunted but I can only smell cherry in the first few hours. It smells like TF smoked cherry and Zara's Cherry smoothie.

Edit: okay, the dry-down is nice and woody, and a bit more tolerable. It's been sitting for 15 hours on my clothes, and it's still here

Not my cup of tea unfortunately (to wear as a 28 yo female). I sort any samples I get into mini bags for myself and my boyfriend. Judging by the name, I thought Wood Jasmine would be a sexy, mysterious, feminine woody floral scent. However like a few others have said, it's straight up whiskey barrel to my nose. Popped this right into my boyfriend's sample stash, because granted, I think this would make a nice evening scent for him.

Boozy balsamic jasmine is what this is. There's such a well done whiskey note that comes through, right in the opening for a moment to me, patchouli slowly enters in, dusty a bit, underlying sweetness, balmy white floral that's seemingly untamed, warm, something luminescent about this scent. The labdanum in this is pretty evident too. Quite addictive in a way, perfect for the cooler days reminds me a little bit of Xerjoff's style in its approach to this kind of a scent profile. IMO, this is praise worthy from BdK!

Whiskey Barrel and Cherry Liqueur

I got a discovery kit from BDK and tried all of their fragrances. I was very disappointed with all of them, exept Wood Jasmin (WJ).
To me WJ is a very opulent fragrance which opens with a strong boozey cherry note, like liqueur (I can't describe it any other way). After ca. 30 minutes the cherry note fades into the background but the boozey note remains dominant.
Its like you walked down into a whiskey cellar and would smell the empty whiskey barrels.

After 1 hour patchouli and vanilla take over and it turns (for me) into a gourmand fragrance. I loved it.

P.S. liek those before me, I didn't sense any jasmine either

This one continues on with my experiences with other BDK scents (tried 4 today: Wood Jasmine, Pas ce soir extrait, Villa Neroli, Rouge Smoking), but with slightly better performance and a slightly more inventive scent. The second one is not necessarily a positive.

All of them underperformed.
They were way below the marks one would expect judging from the 'longevity' and 'sillage' categories.

WJ is the best since it can actually be smelled after two hours, albeit if you smell the place of application directly.
So... a bit over 2 hours longevity, skin scent.
Who knows, it might last like this for a while, but is it anything to write home about if the wearer themself can barely perceive it?

The scent: no jasmine detected.
I'm not too sure about wood, either.
The opening is very boozy, for me unpleasantly so. It reminds me of rakija, a popular local plum brandy drink. Nothing says sexy sophistication like smelling like a local booze-hound.
The main hit of that booze dissipated in ~10 minutes, after which you can better smell the plums themselves.
After an hour, it's mostly faint vanilla with a tiny bit of something else thrown in.

Agree with other reviewers that the name is a misleading. There is a little jasmine in the opening but it leads with a dense and dominant plum. It's very dark (a little too dark for me) and twisty, this is how I imagine Morticia Addams smells!

The dry down is a little more delicate, to a powdery vanilla-jasmine scent.

A little too vintage/mature for my taste. If you like fragrances like Knowing and Youth Dew this one might tickle your fancy.

When I was a kid my neglecting and pretentiously religious parents would put me off at the local mosque every weekend which was in random backrooms in some old building. The hocas (teachers) often use rose oil because "it was our prophet's favourite". This perfume reminds me of the rotten praying rugs, the woody frames, that annoying rose oil smell and my tears of frustration. No, thankssss...

No one ever talks about this beauty, I really like it and perfect for the winter and holiday season! This one on me turns into a woody floral. I do get the plum (which is a favorite note) and soon as it dries down Peru balsam and incense, artemisia and off course vanilla and patchouli. Since it’s such a woody fragrance and has heavy notes it does last all day on me. I never wear this in the summer this is only a cool weather scent. Unisex for sure. IMHO it’s a winner! 10/10 recommended!

Wood Jasmin is bolder and less simplistic than its name suggests. Where I expected a straightforward woody-jasmine scent, hoping that it wouldn't be synthetic in the manner of Mugler Alien, it is in fact a bold, boozy, balsamic fruity-amber-floral with a tropical edge. It isn't a safe blind buy - it has the potential to smell rancid on some people, and its strong, heady sweetness is quite intense regardless.

WJ opens with a bold, syrupy plum note, ripe and sweet, giving a boozy quality to the opening and paving the way to the balsamic amber base. Some pear adds sweetness, but the plum has the, well, plum part here. The jasmine quickly follows, lush and sweet, and it feels quite tropical here, perhaps due to the fruity sweetness and the vanilla in the base. There is some bitter greenness in there, but it is subtle. Overall. WJ isn't as woody as its name suggests.

The balsamic amber base steadily develops in the background, bolstered by liberal amounts of sweet vanillin. I get some patchouli, adding an earthy counterpoint to the sweetness in the later stages, a development of the earlier herbal undertone. Some powdery rose is evident during the drydown, but the waxy jasmine is king here. It fades to a sweetly musky skin scent with increasingly powdery vanilla remaining until final fade. Sillage is strong and longevity is long-lasting - a little goes a long way, as befits its scent profile.

It is feminine-leaning in my opinion, given the sweet, tropical florals that form the backbone of this scent. It is best worn in cold weather, given its strength and amber base, although I usually tend to associate tropical florals with beachy summertime scents. Pretty decent, if not something I'd choose personally. 3.5/5.

Anyone else feel like it’s got a chlorine vibe?

I was so excited to try this! I'm on a forever mission to test anything that resembles the discontinued beauty that is Plum Japonais by Tom Ford. Unfortunately, none of the contenders that I've tried so far quite fit the bill. This opens up with a pretty blast of syrupy dark fruits and unsweetened dark chocolate, but there's a heavy, awkward note which smells almost barnyard-like in the background that becomes more obvious in the dry down. Is it the artemisia? I'm not sure, but I can see this potentially working on someone else. Definitely not blind buy safe.

Plum, pear (just in the first few seconds, similar to the pear in Pas Ce Soir) patchouli, hint of incense, jasmine, waxy white florals, tobacco hints and bready tuberose.
I like it more on paper to be honest but it's still a well balanced yet stunner of a perfume.

WOOD JASMIN - is an old-school revival fragrance, with modern ingredients and a vintage composition. It immediately brought to mind the intricately designed glass perfume vials that I used to open secretly and with an almost sacred attentiveness at my grandmother's house. The name is a bit misleading, as woods and jasmine have a negligible presence in the composition, except for a kind of overall emulation. The dominant note is undoubtedly plum, with a warm sweetness that accompanies balsamic resins, davana, and a patchouli made bitter by artemisia. The result is dark and somewhat dirty, but always within the refined limits of BDK.

It's not a gourmand fragrance, and it doesn't radiate youthfulness, in fact, I would say it's almost dusty and melancholic. Whether this is a virtue or a flaw is for you to determine.

I definitely get the plum in the opening. The amber and other resin-like notes quickly take over though. I don't get much florals at all- the incense and resins overpowers the rest of the notes on my skin. I can sense the boozy quality others mention as well. It's definitely unisex- could see this as a evening scent in the colder months maybe? It's not my style of scent though by any means.

After first spray this reminded me of the chocolate Mon Cherie and a bit of Lost Cherry by Tom Ford. Very boozy especially in the opening, I love it :) This would be great for fall and winter. I got a sample and I will continue to try it out, but Im pretty sure I will get a full bottle of this :) Perfectly unisex.

Where the jasmine at?? Way too much plum. So deep and dark. Cannot bring myself to even tolerate it.

To me this is a sharp, soapy sort of jasmin with very little else to it. It's not for me, but I could certainly see it working on other people!

This was a grower, not a shower for me. I didn't like it at first. It came over all resins and woods with not much else. I washed it off. I came back to it after a month or so and sniffed the sample and it was soft and delicious. Wow, I didn't get that when I rushed to scrub it off.
I gave it another try today and to my surprise, it was resiny yes, but that died off after 20 mins and I had that delicious warm and spicy gourmand smelling charmer. I will get a FB. I might even layer this over Rouge Smoking for a real powerhouse.

astringent and cough syrup like medicinal.

Like cider/RTDs x fruity gummies x chuppa chups at first spray, gets boozier and less candied as it dries. It becomes mostly amber-patchouli with some rose, mb incense, and faintly maintaining a fruity "feel", which oddly enough reminds me of tomatos somewhat.

After about 3 hours is just resinous and a little vanillic. It's a lighter & cleaner scent than other spicy-floral-boozy type fragrances. I would type it as similar to Invite Only Amber by Kayali out of what I've tried. Projects well for the first hour or two & last me upwards to 8-9 hours.

I got it in December and i was not a fun.
Now in the spring, it smells soo much better on me!
I recommend to give it a go spring/fall.

This is a feminine counterpart to Ambre Saffrano

It’s evening, time to head home. It’s been a long day, my head is heavy, body tired. The weather’s not helping - it’s cold, damp, depressing. I pass by the flower shop, hoping for a good end of day bargain & hopefully, a serotonin boost. Not much to choose from, a mish-mash of salvageable, near limp flowers gets wrapped on an old bench thats littered with soggy, dank remnants of the day’s work. The attendant has a cigarillo hanging from his lip. The air is thick with smoke. I need to leave. An unpleasant camphorous smell assaults my nose as I drive home. I open the door, another assault to the senses. Last night’s fruit salad’s been left out of the fridge, slowly rotting in the heat that’s been on all day. The smell of smoke persists on my dreary bunch. A headache approaches. Into trash everything goes. I take a shower, vowing to take the it out before bed. It’s morning. The trash is still there, the bag is leaking, a little drips on the carpet as I take it out. I start to scrub.

Enjoy a few from BDK but this one? Just no.

My 10 year old says:
“This smells like a baby rabbit is in the forest trying to make tea. I love it!”

I agree! This scent is fantastic for my body chemistry. The bright, balsamic-fruity start dries down to a woody, incense-rich and vanilla sweet finish. I’m going to go find some baby rabbits to have tea with 😉

The opening is a beastly sour on my skin. Someone said jubilation xxv, but I think they maybe be second cousins, but not to be compared. I usually have a lot of success with performance with bdk but this one settles pretty quickly and is a bit nondescript.

starts with a woody plum and peru balsam along with labdanum. something is a bit animalic here. it smells like an old wooden box along with boozy plum. this is one that smells better wafting from afar as opposed to close up. essentially it's a woody plum. i don't get the name at all, as i get no jasmine here. still, it's nice in cold weather. (i imagine this would be Too Much in warm weather.)

Starts very grapey smelling then settles into a
strong sour cedar
Too much wood and sourness, is astringent and a definite no from me

In my opinion, lighter version of Amouage Jubilation XXV.

It reminds me of both Carlisle and Red Tobacco, but as many have claimed, more balsamic. Even tho it becoms a skin scent on me, it lasts for 8+ hours.

7/10, it’s good, but not wow.

To me this smells like biting into an old liquor candy.
It does mellow out to a more floral side a bit, after some time.

This opens up with a delicious boozy plum and vanilla. It smells like some plum liqueur that was kept in a wooden barrel.
Unfortunately it quickly goes downhill in the drydown. Jasmine is not as prominent as the name suggests, but it's quite indolic. Together with the rose, the herbal angelica and the dry, cold incense it smells like potpourri on my skin. It's sour and dry with a tobacco-ish undertone. There are still some hints of the beautiful plum and warmer balsamic notes that make the scent bearable to my nose, but I hoped for more of that. The vanilla from the opening doesn't stand a chance against the other notes. The overall scent is just not as warm and lush as I expected.
I don't know why I get so much rose from this, and such a stuffy one at that, when rose is the note with the least votes on here, but the drydown really smells mostly like dusty dried rose petals and resins on me.

I guess Wood Jasmin not a bad scent, just not my taste and maybe not ideal for my skin. I don't really dislike it, but I don't like it either, and I liked the drydown better on a blotter than on myself. Out of the 9 bdks I tried in the last weeks, it was my least favorite.
This could be worth a try for those who prefer pre-90s vintage perfumes over more recent releases though, there is something rather old-school about the composition.

Headache inducing no matter how many chances I give it. It's very heavy, balsamic plum that has a honey-like sweetness. It smells like dated syrup with jasmin. Like a jasmin jam from france with plum that was made in the 90s and you opened it today out of your grandma's cabinet.

Since it’s Christmas, I’ve decided to wear this today! It’s a woody floral on me! I have always loved this one from BDK and I have many from them one of my favorite houses. This is dark and unisex for sure, I get plum incense and pear all together on me. I did spray Angels Share on top of it so it sweeten it a bit. I would call this my signature scent. I wear quite a lot in the colder months! Is this a favorite for everyone not quite sure but it is one of mine. Highly recommended 10/10!

OK, so there is plum here. A lot of boozy plum the whole way through. It's a stewed fruit, sticky, syrupy plum, along with the pear. Both of them have been left until there is this fermented sour edge to them, a hint of rot and the broken down flesh, cooked into a thick sauce. At times it comes accross a little bit like a dark and cloudy apple juice on my skin and at first there was a mental picture of apple pie even. This conjures up the spirit of autumn for me and I feel it would wear well in the colder months.

It's a heavy and dark perfume, I agree with the witchy vibes of another viewer below; finding that it conjures up images of a coven of withes, in the forest for me. They're cooking up autumnal fruits as they create a dark, sticky elixir within a smoking cauldron. When their potion is complete, the liquid is slowly poured into a silver chalice. They then share this chalice of intoxicating liquor, drinking deeply from the cup, whilst burning precious resins and anointing one another's skin with honey and jasmine flower oil.

I need to try this properly, as I've only managed to grab a spray in a store, before I decide if it's another BDK love or just a like. There's something compelling here though for me... I keep going back again and again to sniff my wrist.

On paper this looks great, like a floral version of Feminite Du Bois, but actually trying this came up short. It’s heavy, pungent even-- the incense and indoles mix in a really awful way here, fermented and rotting.

It is very balsamic and heavy with surprisingly a lot of sweetness. The jasmine is obvious, it smells floral and a bit dated but in a good way. It is reminiscent of older perfumes.

First spray:
Smells like pie! Cinnamon nutmeg pumpkin spice vibe. Super warming and sweet. Vanilla. Gourmand! But theres a masculine woodiness behind it so its not girly sweet.

Drydown:
Sweet. The plum is prominent. Not for me. Resinous and intense. The rose is too pronounced for my liking.

Strong! A little goes a long way.

This is utterly delectable. I wore this on a hot day and although the sillage was modest, it caressed me within my own scent bubble! It’s sweet, spicy with a plum compote and vanilla combination. It reminds me of Tom Ford’s Amber Absolute and a little of Ambre Narguiles (Hermes). But although they are beautiful amber perfumes, I like this one the best because of it’s addictive plum note. This perfume is probably best suited for the Autumn and Winter months but I couldn’t resist wearing it on a hot Summer’s day and I’m so glad I did - it puts a smile on your face and sometimes a perfume is enjoyable when it’s a more simple type of mood lifter and not too complex and difficult to understand 🥰.

This isn't about jasmine or wood to me, it's moreso a boozy fruity balsamic amber. I do like it, but I don't love it. I think boozy, fruity/sweet fragrances just fall a bit flat for me if they don't have something to freshen it up a little bit, this one feels like a fog on me. I'll have to revisit this when the weather cools to see if I appreciate it more.

I don’t understand the reasoning behind this fragrance’s name as all I get is boozy plum. Gorgeous, but perhaps not terribly unique and the performance is unfortunate. Stays on clothes for a while, but doesn’t project on me at all after the initial spray.

This smells very gross like rotten fruits macerating in liquor. I pick up a brown pear note in this fragrance that is very prominent in the opening and it smells rotten same as the plum note.

This fragrance is very feminine leaning and has smokiness and it smells dated. Ladies I would stay away from this there are better offerings from the house of BDK.

I think this one may really depend on your skin chemistry. Smells like plum on paper but vomit on my arm

Wow, the opening is boozy! I get wine and plum, some incence. Thank goodness the patchouli is only hinted in the base notes.
I'm in my mid-30s and I feel this is a tad too mature for me. I would see a person in their 50s or 60s wearing this beautifully. I think this would suit all genders.

I only get patchouli, incense and labdanum. This doesn't smell good at all.

I won't even begin to describe this. It's just amazing. I can't stoo smelling it. Intoxicating!.. In a good way 😍😍😍

I really really liked this one and Nuit de sable. It is very unusual for me as I tend to hate heavy smells but these two are just so comforting and not overwhelming at all on my skin. Wood jasmine is like a mystical night, the notes of jasmine, pear and vanilla are beautiful, sweet and gourmand like. Would be good for autumn and winter, I see it mostly as a night fragrance but could be worn in the day and it would feel like being hugged by a nice, warm scarf.

For me it is half way between Egoiste and Tobacco Vanille. No plum here.

Very plummy booze with benzoin and tobacco on the side. What a delight! Didn’t notice the woody, jasmine, nor vanilla notes though.

Edit. Reduced to ‘like’ because the good part only lasted about half an hour then it became skin scent that sort of linger in and out of periphery for additional six hrs. Unfortunately that the useable silage lasted only so short a period.

Plum and pear in the opening, very fruity, almost sweet and alcoholic but not in disgusting way. Then comes a sophisticated jasmine, not opulent but mastered. A bit smoky with the incense notes and round with the vanilla. This is a beautiful fruity scent. The opening is more feminine but the drydown seems more masculine and woody to my nose.

💜 Unisex
❄️Cold Seasons
📌 Personal Note: 9 / 10

-Smells like sweetened furniture varnish.
-Has a very chemical scent to it. (-)

Boozy plummy Slivovitz opening. Quite loud, not dissimilar to some of Tom Ford's perfumes. Calms down in seconds, transforms into gentle but generic amber and jasmine....although I like the whiffs of plum and pear that appear repeatedly here and there. Musky finish. Unisex, maybe slightly masculine. It's not unpleasant but the composition somehow doesn't make sense to me and I also don't see any connection to the name Wood Jasmin.

I adore plum in fragrance and I'm very sensitive to and suspicious of jasmine. The good news for me is that yes, the jammy plum is there. Also good news, the jasmine is not overbearing or overly indolic. I smell zero dirtiness and certainly no urine as was noted by more than one reviewer. I smell a lot of benzoin, powder, a bit of vanilla and a touch of sweet tobacco. I wish I could detect more of the interesting notes such as the incense and patchouli which should have been amped up to create a strong third direction. So in the end, what do we have here? A pleasant non complex fragrance that should offend no one but fails in its handling of the synthetics. What would make this better? black pepper, patchouli and incense.

I’m with @olbigsez on the urine smell.. wth is that?? It’s heavy in the opening and hoping it’ll go away in the dry down because I sprayed damn near the whole sample on myself. Lol!
Other than that part it’s pretty nice and creamy. Definitely test first!

Imagine a boozy plum infused balsamic reduction. It's delicious and decadent.

It smells like an apple pie had a child with an alcohol-infused vanilla bean.

I detect absolutely no plum in here, which is a shame because every fragrance I have with a PLUM in it, I adore. It's the first BDK for me that's just a meh. Vanillic jasmine is all I get. If you're into that sort of thing - try it out, it's pretty safe.
I dislike the opening, but I do like the drydown, although it's nothing spectacular or unique. To me it just lacks any character.
Spring & Fall, day & night.

LOL this does not smell like plum japonais in the slightest. I guess some people are seeing the note plum in both and assuming they are alike? This is a syrupy, very sweet plum, while PJ is spicy and boozy. This is a bit too sweet for my taste but it's a pretty solid deep, dark, plum frag.

Oh gosh, I couldn’t get past the opening. It starts out incense-y and a little cinnamon on me, with some sweetness from the plum. The plum isn’t a fresh juicy plum though; it comes off overripe, borderline rotten. I got absolutely no jasmine, and I couldn’t wait long enough for the jasmine to appear before I had to scrub it off.

This feels more like a cooler weather scent. It’s unisex, but the incense makes it seem more masculine leaning.

I sprayed this, Gris Charnel and Creme de Cuir on a kleenex before bed. This afternoon, the other two left synthetic residue behind. This one left amber. Of the three, it is the most appealing to my nose and as I sit with it, just sprayed on my hand, I'm thinking it smells like something I've smelled before. It's heady and headache inducing.
I sprayed the two "blue" ones on last night and they were disgustingly synthetic. I don't know what it is about this house but they are consistent. Time to wash it off.

I get two stages;
1. An intensive amber stage - the plum is obvious, very sweet and syrupy.
2. Vanillic jasmine

I like stage 2, I dislike stage 1. Unfortunately the amber in the opening is incredibly strong and too common and I'm not patient.

As others have mentioned "Wood Jasmin" is kind of an odd name for this fruity/plummy amber. It opens with a liqueur like, apple-cinnamon amber accord that brings to mind both Ambre Narguile + Ambre Russe (not a bad thing)! Of the florals in the abstract heart of this scent, I suppose a slightly indolic jasmine is the one flower that stands out above any others. It gains a certain dryness in its final stages, which is pleasant. It has all the trappings of a heavy-weight amber, but it never feels all consuming or overwhelming--it ends up a well-balanced entry into the genre, though somewhat redundant as the aforementioned scents have covered the necessary territory suitably.

Plummy woods...can see that a couple were reminded of Woodissime by this one.

In my opinion the name Wood Jasmin is bit of a misnomer-in other words, the name of the fragrance is a bit misleading. It definitely is a woody fragrance, however I don’t find it to be jasmin dominant. There is jasmin which lifts it a bit, however I don’t find Jasmin to be a main player. On me, this is a beautiful plumy, resinous, boozy, woody fragrance that is extremely seductive. Although there are no boozy notes listed, I find that sometimes resins can come across rather boozy smelling- there is also artemisia which may be playing into this.

This fragrance is completely unisex. It actually reminds me of Plum Japonais by Tom Ford...I need to do a a side-by-side comparison of the two, but definitely similar vibes. The performance on this is great- the sillage was moderate and this lasted on me all day. I will say that on me Wood Jasmin is rather linear meaning that it does not transition much from the opening to the dry down- however, I don’t consider that a negative thing.

Fragrances smell different on everyone...and on me this smells like the bottom of a trash can at an old folks' home. Very indolic, skanky jasmine and an overripe rotting fruit smell that only dissipates and becomes tolerable after 3+ hours of wear. Something about it also reminds me of TF Black Orchid, another fragrance that smells like rotting garbage on my skin.

On my male friend, however, this smells pleasant, woody, and plummy. Your mileage may vary.

An imaginative, artistic, royal perfume... it almost seems to live a fantastic story! My favorite part is the drydown where I feel a beautiful and dreamy jasmine. A perfume with a French imprint... brilliant! Very beautiful!

Sillage: 7./10
Longevity: 8./10
Scent: 8.5/10

Overall: 8.5/10

First seconds are alcoholic-boozy, then dry dirty jasmin, a bit funky. A few minutes later it settles down to generic cinnamon-honey-tobacco with a hint of jasmin.
My girlfriend smelled the sillage and asked if it's Tobacco Oud by Tom Ford. She's right, it smells very similar to Tobacco Oud past the opening phase. I'm glad i only got a sample. Try before you buy.

This was another one I tried based on great reviews but was disappointed. To be honest it smells like PDM Carlisle in a dirty urinal! I think its the jasmine that gives it a very dirty, urine like note that I do not care for at all. Go with PDM's Carlisle and you will be much better served IMO. Strong pass!

This is absolutely stunning!

It's not so much about jasmine, but about plum, subtle smoky incense, and Peru Balsam. It's so rich and gorgeous, but there's something in it that leaves an impression of a slight cooling sensation that underpins the warmth for most of the duration of the fragrance. I can't figure out what it is, but it definitely has that WOW factor.

The projection and longevity are both solid. It projects well past an arm's length for an hour or longer, then reigns itself in cumulatively closer, but doesn't become a skin scent for several hours. For me the longevity varies, but it has a good 6 or 7 hours of functional longevity, then stays a pleasant balsamic skin scent for a couple more hours until it dissipates.

Comparisons to Tom Ford's Plum Japonais and Nasomatto Baraonda are inevitable, but this has enough complexity going on with the bed of jasmine over which everything is layered that it definitely stands on its own as an original, powerful, and beautiful unisex fragrance that begs to be experienced.

This house has some of the best niche fragrances I've ever smelled.

Other winners are: Rouge Smoking, Gris Charnel, and Creme de Cuir.

This one might be my favorite, but there's some other close contenders there as well.
10/10

This is woody woody fragrance, to me it’s smells like Cedar wood soaked in plum juice. I don’t smell any florals, jasmine or rose, I can smell plum here especially at dry down. It definitely leans more masculine. I got it hoping for beautiful Jasmine since I have been in love with this house but this one is just not for me. It’s an amazing fragrance if you are into Woody Boozy Plum fragrances, you will love it but if you are expecting jasmine and white florals this is definitely not it. I just like my perfume to lean feminine and this one is just too masculine for my taste.

Wow!

This is hugely interesting, a real eyeopener with so many niche brands I'd seen these bottles around but just sort of glazed over especially a brand with Initials just doesnt really capture my attention no matter how nice the bottles are. (Which they are.)

It's the stuff inside that matters and this comes out with a boozy almost gourmand smell but it's not trying too hard to be all sozzled, more smooth and effortless.
You don't really get a lot of jasmine initially but a certain exotic and waxy florality, gently throbs at the back of aged, sweet sherry cask of thing that Wood Jasmin is. Clearly resinous and warm too.

The drydown definitely reminds me of something else, (I can't place) more dried fruit, lightly vanillic but not all creamy or typical.
For a man that doesn't need any more orientals and often states he doesn't like gourmands, this is sort of neither and both and I'm on a no buy thing at the moment, I still want a bottle.

I will have to wear it properly but the initial signs are good.

Woah! I was hit with skanky intense resinous jasmine. I could have sworn oud was present. I'm a bit on the wall about Peru balsam. It's quite a dense, resinous note and I can find it too much. It plays a big part in this intense beast. Thankfully there is a jasmine bomb on the other side of this fragrant see saw and balances it all out. Is there such a thing as jasmine chutney?! It could smell like this.

I admit I was overwhelmed on the opening but after 30 mins I have really warmed to it. I can find the jasmine note too much sometimes and even migraine inducing. Here it has been warmed and softened. The plum adds a little fruity sweetness and the incense a lovely smoky aspect.
Further down the timeline and I do become reminded of TF Plum Japonais but this is not as sweet. Jasmine is king here with plum and balsam the supporting acts.

I've tested all of the BDK range and they are all nice but this one is fb worthy for me. It has the best longevity and sillage of all. It's definitely unisex. Some women might find this too much. I adore Plum Japonais so this is most definitely my cup of fragrance. There is a place in my wardrobe for both.

Plummy woods, and hints of jasmines.

It has vanilla, plums, pears, hints of cedar, hints of incense, balsamic factor, some dates, honey & within a balsamic frame.

This is very interesting to be honest, as i haven't heard of this brand but now as i saw it in one of the niche fragrance shops!

Edit (31st Oct 2017) as i am sampling it again now, i keep on sniffing the rancid strong jasmines within! it whiffs between plummy dates mix and rancid strong jasmines! it is quite weird to be honest, and unfamiliar, which makes it interesting

I discovered last night at a perfume/fashion/cocktail this new perfume house. I smelled a lot of perfume but my attention was hook by Wood Jasmine. So beautiful with his artimisia, cypriol and tobacco note. I know tobacco note is note listed here but like fragranticanmudpach write I smell tobacco. A favorite one but an exppensive one too. Why my favorites niches ones are always the most expensive.

Powerful and golden jasmine with strong tobacco and honey-sweet tones. Unique;)
