The Bewitching Yasmine is by all appearances soft and quiet. Yet at the same time, she conducts herself with a rare force. Some, the less determined, would find her distant, maybe cold, but appearances are notoriously misleading.

Like many intriguing (and bewitching) women, the perfume of Yasmine is hot and cold. The unique sharpness of rich, strong coffee is set off against a creamy spice accord, complete with aromatic cardamom. Hers is an ambition that doesn't look back, and she has the allure to match - billowing white vanilla, honeyed with hints of jasmine catch your attention. As you lean in for more, a wisp of incense floats away, with a mysterious note of Laotian oud. The Bewitching Yasmine is a rare beauty with a a one-way ticket, and if you're lucky, you'll be the one to fall under her charm.

Here's what other people are saying about The Bewitching Yasmine...

This smells nearly identical to Lune Feline by Atelier des Ors to my nose. I don't get any coffee or jasmine from my sample (direct from Penhaligon's in a sample set), mostly cardamom, vanilla, and woody notes.Y ou can check out my review of Lune Feline for a more poetic description of the scent, but overall it's a warm, slightly spicy, moderately sweet, deep, feminine vanilla scent great for cold weather. Not truly a gourmand, but delicious nonetheless. This fragrance came out after Lune Feline, so I would have to say it's pretty derivative, and at a higher price point as well. If you love this but don't love the price tag, give Atelier des Ors' original a try. 9/10.

FB worthy. Incense, dark, like a Burgundy wine and a rich dessert. Candles flickering, a fire down to the coals but still warm, a damask tablecloth and the glitter of silver. This is wonderful.

Vaguely dark. I don't feel like jasmine is the star, nor vanilla. This smells like a elderly librarian doused in an old 90s perfume. It opens sort of oily, dank jasmine flowers in a funeral home, then quickly dries down into a dull musk. Defense not my style and definitely a pass.

One that requires a fine wide spray, walked into to settle on skin but also hair and clothing to show all its facets. A deep shadowed jasmine with a steady oud background, lit with sparks of incense and spice. One of those intense perfumes for times when you want the perfume to take over your mood. Love it. It also encapsulates a fond memory as a keepsake of travel to the UK. A Pre-Raphaelite/silky Orientalist velvety wonder.

Smelled lovely in the vial, the coffee and cardamom are really distinct. Once on my body it smelled like rubbing alcohol and vanilla extract and something chemical and sickly sweet. But surely its just my skin right? No! Even on fabric and paper, the same thing happens. So strange. I wish It smelled on my clothes and skin how it smelled in the vial.

Creamy vanilla and cardamom coffee, not unlike a coffee shop holiday hot beverage. Jasmine doesn't appear until a good hours into wearing. Interesting gourmand that turns into a floral amber. I can detect the vanilla from start to finish and it's the rich baking vanilla that I loved so much in the Shalimar Ode de a la Vanille series.

Excellent soft gourmand. Reminds me of a Starbuck coffee shop winter beverage - coffee, vanilla, cardamom - that gently settles into a light jasmine and vanilla finally.

A deliciously boozy coffee-cardamon-vanilla gourmand, with just a hint of jasmine drifting in and out of focus. I found this a bit more unisex that you might expect from that slider.

This is really gorgeous! I disagree with the other reviewer - there is a lot more going on in this than Mancera Aoud Vanille. Yes there is oud, and vanilla, but there is a very sophisticated jasmine note that floats on top, long with a smooth sultry price layer woven in. It is the same spice note that can be found in Mona di Orio's masterpiece "Oud" now known as "Oud Osmanthus", so maybe this unique note is coming from the particular kind of oud that is used. Then I am picking up incense which feels exotic and mysterious. It's a devilish, sexy tapestry of scent - absolutely unisex too!

Mancera Aoud Vanille, but not as good.
