Matthew Williamson launched Jasmine Sambac in 2007 — and it was a brilliant move. A feminine fragrance rooted in the floral family. Henry de Monclin, Clément Gavarry, and Matthew Williamson worked their magic — and the result speaks for itself. Concentration — eau de toilette: exactly what it needs to be.
the United Kingdom is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. Jasmine Sambac Matthew Williamson unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Jasmine Sambac evolves as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Matthew Williamson is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette sets the depth and body this composition needs.
The stylistic positioning is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In the top tier you sense sparkling citrus first notes: Bitter Orange and Lemon. Exactly these 2 notes set a sensation of cool purity that is impossible to miss.
When the opening settles you meet Jasmine, Neroli and Peony carrying a harmonious floral direction. At the foundation the composition is fixed through Ambergris, Vanilla and musk, extending a viscous resinous trail.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Whiteflower, Floral and Ambery. The framework further includes Gourmet and Musk. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Floral.
In summary Jasmine Sambac holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged on skin.
