The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Jardin du Jasmin launched in 2018 with Alex Green as its perfumer. Its name points to jasmine, and the composition builds around that flower as a white floral centerpiece. The house describes a garden effect in which blooming jasmine seems to lift upward, supported by refreshing citrus fruit. Wild berries enter at the heart, adding color and fruitiness to the floral theme, while vanilla and amber provide a warmer finish. The result feels less like a strict botanical study than an imagined garden where crisp light, white petals, and ripe fruit share the same air.
The interesting part is the contrast built into the note structure. Citrus gives the opening a clean, lifted quality, while jasmine supplies the floral body. Wild berries introduce a darker, more tactile kind of fruit than the citrus suggests, preventing the composition from becoming simply fresh and pretty. Vanilla and amber then change the temperature, adding a soft sweetness and a warm, powdery depth underneath the floral and fruity accords.
The evolution
The first impression is bright and clean, with citrus carrying the scent upward before jasmine settles into the center. As the heart develops, wild berries introduce a darker, more tactile fruitiness beneath the white floral surface. The flowers do not disappear; they become the backdrop for a warmer drydown, where vanilla and amber round the composition with sweetness and a soft, powdery glow. After several hours, the profile is likely to feel less like a fresh garden and more like skin warmed by summer. Expect the jasmine and vanilla to remain most legible, while the berries and citrus settle into a quieter supporting role.
Cultural impact
Jardin du Jasmin fits Odore Mio's curious London identity through a nature-led composition with a modern, easy-to-wear balance of brightness and warmth. It sits within the house's broader 2018 wardrobe of distinct olfactory themes, where jasmine and white floral imagery sit alongside citrus, woods, vanilla, leather, and fresh cologne directions.
