15 best jasmine perfumes to elevate your fragrance game
While rose might be crowned the queen of florals, jasmine is the quiet powerhouse of the perfume world. You’ll find it at the heart of some of the most iconic scents we call cult — Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, YSL Libre, and Dior J’adore – lending them their elegance, depth, and that unmistakable something that keeps you coming back for one more spritz.
Part of jasmine’s allure is its versatility. With hundreds of species, it can be fresh and green, creamy and opulent, or sultry and musky. It’s the ultimate in ‘quiet luxury’, instantly elevating even the most affordable scents (think: Sol De Janeiro 68). And it’s not just about the aroma – jasmine has been used in aromatherapy for centuries for its ability to both uplift and soothe.
It’s also a note steeped in craftsmanship. “The yield from the flowers themselves is very low, and the labour involved in harvesting and collecting the volume required for extraction is immense,” explains Nick Gilbert, founder of fragrance development lab Olfiction. “The scent of jasmine is voluptuous, creamy and petal-ly - depending on how it’s treated in a fragrance, it can impart dense floralcy or effervescent transparency.”
Louise Rigley, Senior Global Brand Manager at GHOST, agrees: “It takes thousands of hand‑picked blossoms to produce just a small quantity of oil. Even in more accessible fragrances, jasmine carries that aura of craftsmanship and prestige. It instantly elevates a scent, creating softness, sensuality and sophistication that people intuitively connect with quality.”
Its popularity, both experts agree, comes down to how adaptable it is. Jasmine blends seamlessly with fruits, woods, musks, and gourmand notes, lending itself to fresh, airy fragrances just as easily as it does to deep, evening‑ready blends. It’s a note people recognise, remember, and connect with emotionally - which is exactly why it appears in so many perfumes we fall in love with.

How we tested the best jasmine perfumes
When it comes to jasmine perfumes, the heart (or middle) notes are where the magic happens. As our experts Gilbert and Rigley explained, these notes shape the character and longevity of the scent, going beyond the fleeting top notes to reveal the true essence of jasmine.
With this in mind, we tested each fragrance on skin over several hours and different days, paying close attention to how the jasmine evolved – from the initial spritz to the final dry down. We also considered how jasmine interacted with other notes, like woods, fruits, and musks, to capture the full sensory experience.
Alongside our own wear tests, we took on board insights from perfumers and brand experts about the craftsmanship and versatility behind jasmine - helping us appreciate not just how these scents smell, but why they work so well. The result is a curated selection of jasmine perfumes that balance quality, wearability, and that unmistakable floral allure you can’t resist.

Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum
This fragrance effortlessly blends bright citrus with a subtle floral heart, making it feel both modern and timeless. The jasmine adds a gentle elegance that balances perfectly with the warmth of vanilla and musk - a scent that works just as well for daytime as it does after dark.
- Size: 30ml
- Why we love it: “I'm still waiting to meet anyone who doesn't instantly fall in love with this scent – it's a cult favourite for a reason. I was shocked to find out there are notes of jasmine in this icon, as it's not the first note you will pick up upon spritzing, but either way, it's perfect.”
- What we don't love: “The only thing I don't love about this perfume is it's popularity. It's the kind of scent you can smell a mile off, because atm, everyone is wearing it. If you want something totally unique, this might not be it.”

- Middle notes: Jasmine sambac, orange blossom
- Base notes: White musks, vanilla extract

- Size: 75ml
- Why we love it: “I'm not exaggerating when I say I can't imagine my life without this jasmine perfume.

The middle and base fragrance notes of vanilla and pear make for a unique and intoxicating scent.”
- What we don't love: “The richness can feel a little heavy in hotter weather, so it’s best saved for evenings or cooler months.”
- Top notes: Jasmine
- Middle notes: Date accord, pear

Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine Eau de Parfum
A luminous, free-spirited floral that feels like slipping into a silk dress on a summer afternoon. Juicy mandarin essence opens the fragrance with a burst of brightness, while creamy jasmine grandiflorum and magnolia add depth and romance, anchored by soft, woody sandalwood.

- Why we love it: “I'm a fan of all the Gucci Flora scents, especially Magnolia. But the jasmine option is simply gorgeous. The middle notes of jasmine grandiflorum combined with the top notes of mandarin essence make for a hypnotic scent, grounded with woody sandalwood. It smells good enough to eat (but I wouldn't recommend it).”
- What we don't love: “The sweetness might lean a little too playful for those who prefer their florals on the moodier, more sophisticated side.”
- Top notes: Mandarin essence
- Middle notes: Grandiflorum jasmine, magnolia accord
- Base notes: Sandalwood

Sol De Janeiro Cheirosa 68 Perfume Mist
A tropical daydream in a bottle, this playful mist blends sunlit fruits with creamy florals for a scent that’s pure escapism. Juicy pink dragonfruit and lychee give way to breezy Brazilian jasmine and hibiscus, settling into a warm, beachy base of sheer vanilla and sun musk. It’s sunshine you can spritz.
- Size: 240ml
- Why we love it: “If the 20 million views on TikTok under #soldejanerio68 are anything to go by, then it's safe to say that a lot of people seem to love this fragrance just as much as I do. It's super affordable but still smells luxurious. For me, it's the Brazilian jasmine fragrance that entices me – in fact, I always keep one in my bag and spritz it in my hair for a longer-lasting scent. This may be the most affordable perfume on this list, but it rivals even the most expensive options in terms of deliciousness.”
- What we don't love: “As a mist, it doesn’t have the staying power of an eau de parfum - you’ll need to top up throughout the day.”
- Top notes: Pink dragonfruit, lychee essence
- Middle notes: Brazilian jasmine, ocean air, hibiscus
- Base notes: Sheer vanilla, sun musk

Diptyque Olene Eau de Toilette
This is a jasmine perfume for people who don’t usually go for jasmine perfumes. Fresh narcissus and sweet honeysuckle hit you first, before settling into soft jasmine and wisteria. It’s floral without being old-fashioned, and has that understated luxury Diptyque does so well.
- Size: 50ml
- Why we love it: “It's unlike any other jasmine perfume; with Narcissus and Honeysuckle combined with Wisteria, it gives all the luxury one would expect from a Diptyque scent. It's a subtle and super feminine fragrance built around delicate flowers. In true Diptyque luxury style, the bottle reflects its floral influence, illustrating the Roman goddess Flora, the goddess of flowers and springtime. A beautiful bottle to match the lovely scent will take pride of place in your fragrance cabinet.”
- What we don't love: “Its soft, ethereal nature means it doesn’t project far - best for those who prefer an intimate scent rather than a statement-maker.”
- Top notes: Narcissus, honeysuckle
- Middle notes: Jasmine, wisteria
- Base notes: White flowers, green notes
MERIT BEAUTY Retrospect L'Extrait de Parfum
Merit's debut fragrance, Retrospect, offers a sophisticated balance between clean, modern notes and vintage-inspired elements.

The scent settles into a warm, musky base of vanilla and moss, creating a fragrance that feels both familiar and elevated.
- Size: 30ml
- Why we love it: “This feels like the perfect 'clean girl' scent - fresh, light, but still interesting enough to make you want to keep sniffing your wrist. It’s got that soft floral vibe but with a little warmth underneath so it never feels boring. Plus, it lasts really well without being overpowering, which is basically everything you want from a day-to-night fragrance.”
- What we don't love: "At £79 for a 30ml bottle, it’s a bit of an investment - but one worth considering if you’re after a signature scent with staying power."
- Top notes: Bergamot, pear, ambrette, aldehydes
- Middle notes: Jasmine, rose, rosemary, violet, orris
- Base notes: Vanilla, musk, moss
If you like your fragrances unapologetically sweet, this one’s for you. The first spritz is all juicy berries - blackcurrant, blueberry and raspberry - before a floral hit of jasmine and violet kicks in. It dries down to a warm mix of woods and musk, but that sugary edge hangs around all day.
- Size: 30ml
- Why we love it: “It's fruity and floral - you'll be enticed by the raspberry, blueberry and blackcurrant notes upon the first spritz before getting to the jasmine and violet accord heart. The base is woody and musky, but the super sweetness lasts all day and will have you walking around like a snack.”
- What we don't love: "If you’re not into ultra-sweet scents, it might feel more dessert than date night."
- Top notes: Blackcurrant, blueberry, raspberry
- Middle notes: Jasmine accord, violet accord

Jo Malone Jasmine Sambac & Marigold Cologne Intense
This fragrance balances the delicate, floral softness of jasmine sambac with the bright, bold energy of marigold. It opens with a sunny pop of marigold, leading into a heart of jasmine that feels both light and uplifting. The warm, resinous base of benzoin gives it a lasting, comforting finish that sticks around without overwhelming.
- Size: 50ml
- Why we love it: “Jasmine is at the heart of this fragrance, taking inspiration from the jasmine sambac in the markets of Southern India. Jasmine sambac is light and floral, but this fragrance is intense from the contrast with marigold (a much bigger, brighter flower than jasmine) – while the warming benzoin resin base helps it last all day.”
- What we don't love: “It’s definitely on the pricier side, so not the easiest to justify for everyday wear.”
- Top notes: Marigold
- Middle notes: Sambac jasmine
- Base notes: Benzoin resin

Ghost Orb of Night Opulence Eau de Parfum
A warmer, richer twist on the original Orb of Night - which I wore religiously last winter. It opens with juicy mandarin and a hint of pink pepper before moving into a floral mix of jasmine, orange blossom, rose and tuberose. The base is creamy and comforting, thanks to tonka, cocoa butter and sandalwood, with just enough sweetness to feel indulgent without feeling sickly.
- Size: 50ml
- Why we love it: “The jasmine here isn’t overpowering - it blends with the other florals for a soft, elegant heart, while the cocoa butter base adds a cosy, winter-ready feel.”
- What we don't love: “It leans sweet and heavy, so it might be too much for warm days - in my opinion, it's definitely a seasonal perfume rather than an all rounder.”
- Top notes: Mandarin, pink pepper, orris root
- Middle notes: Jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose, rose
- Base notes: Tonka bean, sandalwood, cocoa butter, cappuccino accord
Cosmic by Kylie Jenner Eau de Parfum
Cosmic is sweeter than most of the perfumes I usually reach for, but it’s surprisingly sophisticated for a celebrity fragrance. The opening is bright and juicy thanks to blood orange, before a soft wave of jasmine and amber gives it warmth. Vanilla and cedarwood linger at the base, making it feel cosy and a little addictive.
- Size: 100ml
- Why we love it: “The jasmine here adds just enough floral depth to balance out the sweetness, and it lasts really well on clothes. Plus, the bottle is seriously chic - it looks far more expensive than it is.”
- What we don't love: “It’s definitely on the sweet side, so if you prefer a fresher or more understated scent, this one might not be for you.”
- Top notes: Star jasmine, blood orange
- Middle notes: Golden amber accord, red peony accord
- Base notes: Vanilla musk accord, cedarwood
Miller Harris Le Jasmin Eau de Parfum
Bright citrus and fresh herbs open this scent, leading into Moroccan jasmine. It finishes on a warm, woody note thanks to cedarwood and oakmoss, making it feel uplifting but grounded at the same time.
- Size: 100ml
- Why we love it: “This scent was crafted with happiness in mind. The perfumer pulled together the note to instil happiness with every spritz. It's light and bright; trust me, you'll feel it too. Miller Harris uses jasmine picked from its own jasmine fields in Grasse, France, with base notes of Moroccan cedar blending beautifully with the lavender notes for a long-lasting scent.”
- What we don't love: “It’s quite fresh and light, so if you’re after something richer or sweeter, this might not be your go-to.”
- Top notes: Sicilian lemon, mandarin, lavender, rosemary
- Middle notes: Moroccan jasmine absolute, bergamot
- Base notes: Cedarwood, oakmoss
