Jasmins Marzipane by Lancôme

The first jasmine perfume that makes me dream and reminds me of my childhood. Inevitably, I think of how my mother used to hold my hands; that connection reminds me of this scent, of baby hands perfumed and that intimate touch of love. It’s a clean, tender, beautiful, warm, and elegant jasmine. I love it. I just hope Lancôme doesn’t discontinue it; it’s a wonderful work of art. 2025 Edition: nothing compares to it and there’s no recognized dupe. Unfortunately, it’s already discontinued.

Finally tried it! It’s an exquisite, natural, and clean jasmine, avoiding any soapy notes, with a sweet vanilla touch and a dry-down that’s woody and silky like cashmere. It’s super versatile, elegant, delicate, and feminine. I can’t see who wouldn’t like it; it’s simple but well-constructed and very special. The longevity on skin is good, with moderate projection and sillage. It’s totally for personal enjoyment. I insist, what a beautiful perfume! If you’re lovers of white florals and have the chance, try it.

Jasmins Marzipane opens with a sweet green jasmine, just right to convince you to buy it. But over time it gets sweeter, probably due to the almond note. The issue is that the jasmine fades away, leaving behind a generic musk on the skin that barely lasts 4 hours. I’ve tested it in different climates and it always happens the same way, with slight variations in longevity. It’s a pretty perfume but not spectacular, very feminine and versatile: I see myself wearing it for everyday or when I want to look put-together, in temperate climates and at any time of day. Its trail is soft and lasts about 4 hours on my skin, so I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re a huge fan. Pleasant: 7/10, Interesting: 6/10, Versatile: 7/10, Original: 6/10.

What a delight, huh? I put it on and think, but it smells incredibly good. It’s a sweet, elegant, and addictive jasmine. I adore it. The only thing is it doesn’t have the longevity I’d like, but the scent is marvelous.

I have to say, my bottle (recent acquisition) only has one gold seal, not two. The previous one was more visually appealing, and although they say it’s been reformulated, I don’t care because I never tried the old version. I don’t care about the bottle; the beauty is inside. Don’t let the “Marzipan” name fool you; it’s not a sweet gourmand fragrance (which I appreciate). You can tell it’s a very well-worked jasmine, not sharp, just sweetened. On my skin, it doesn’t have prominent sillage, but I don’t mind; the scent satisfies me regardless of its projection. Longevity on skin from start to finish is about 7-8 hours; it’s relaxing and comforting, ideal after a good shower or bath to feel renewed… its high price will make most people reserve it for special occasions, but I don’t care. Enjoy your perfumes when, where, and how you want, because that’s what they’re for, and if it runs out, get another! ^^

Excellent quality 👌, average longevity of 4 hours close to the skin. It’s a very elegant fragrance, smelling clean, fresh, delicate, and relaxing, just as the name suggests. It’s jasmine, that’s what it is in its best version.

This fragrance is very comfortable and subtle; in my opinion, it’s a veil of elegance with almond and white flowers that covers you candidly. Moderate sillage, maybe reaching wide, but it’s not a loud or space-claiming perfume. Very fine, well-made. It’s delicate; if I had to describe it with one word. I was surprised it was semi-sweet; I expected something more intense, but it’s ideal in my opinion for daily wear. For longevity, you can count on several hours; let’s say it stays latent for up to six hours and then lingers softly close to the skin. As I said, it’s a sublime scent, purely floral, with a lot of jasmine in the opening. Extremely delicate and more refined, impossible… a dream.
