Key Features:

Olfactory Experience: The fragrance opens with a sharp, aromatic, and spicy kick of cardamom, which is immediately softened by an addictive, dark undertone of roasted coffee. The heart is dominated by a lush, velvety Sambac jasmine, which adds a clean yet intense floral elegance. The dry-down is the true "bewitching" aspect—a smooth, long-lasting, and deeply resinous base of Tahitian vanilla, Laotian oud, and smoky incense that lingers on the skin with an ethereal, woody, and incredibly sophisticated trail.

Artistic Vision: As part of the Portraits collection, Yasmine is the "femme fatale" of the line. It is designed to be a scent that draws people in, feeling both ethereal and grounded. It is a masterful study of white florals contrasted against dark, intense base notes, making it feel timelessly luxurious and uniquely intellectual.

Versatility: Due to its warm, spicy, and resinous-floral profile, this fragrance is best suited for cooler climates, autumn, and winter. Its sophisticated blend makes it an ideal signature for evening events, gala dinners, or any setting where you want to project a sense of quiet power, alluring mystery, and refined, high-fashion elegance.
