"Long cool woman in a black dress"

I have tested this so many times I might as well have purchased a bottle by now. There is a dryness from the hay or the cedar, a very slight crisp paper smell. But I think the cigarette smell is mainly olfactory hallucination. What I get is jasmine, jasmine and more jasmine. It's a lovely green, cool jasmine....not just the blossoms but the entire tree, leaves and branches and all. This feels aloof and intellectual to me. I like wearing it when I need to feel superior because there is something about it that says "I know what I'm doing. You just shut up, watch and learn."

David Bowie "John, I'm only dancing"

would be the perfect song accompanying the way this smells on me. I get the hazy cigarettes and jasmine part, the Greta Garbo inspiration more than a masculine scent experience (The way this smells on my skin it could not have worked on a man), but surrounded by it is an amusement park- the tonka bean plays it up I guess, being quite prominent on me. A discrete smell of machinery (Making my mind drift to carousels :)) and those almost ridiculously over-sized lollipops with swirls of bright color. Quite sweet. Quite familiar. It's been a while since I visited, but i bet Tivoli in Copenhagen smells just like this.

Bit of a stinker

People who tried ELd'O know that this is a peculiar house. I like the rebellious, non-conformist positioning, although some of their creations tend to be a bit 'artsy fartsy'. And some are just plain outrageous. This one, Jasmin et Cigarette, has a few of the typical ELd'O characteristics:

Quirky name - check!
Quasi-artistic background story - check!
Note pyramid that is hard to fathom - Umm, not really. Pretty much 'what you see is what you get'

And oh yeah.. Seriously polarized ratings - check!

But in the end, this perfume is not completely from another universe, I guess. And all that background noise doesn't really matter anyway. About the scent.. It's a bit of a stinker, but in a good way. From beginning to end, you get an indolic, rather musky Jasmin scent. In the background some dry woody or tobacco qualities. The scent doesn't really develop, although the intensity of the jasmin seems to be constantly changing. It lasts for a good 6-7 hours.

Due to the animalic musky character, it may be a bit challenging as a wearable perfume. Unless you're really into indolic florals, of course, which I am. Quite successful as a conversation starter, that's for sure.

Not at all bad, ELdO! *add to watchlist*

Just What it Says.

The name says it all. What you smell is jasmine and tobacco, but what takes you there is interesting. The jasmine is clean and a bit green, not particularly indolic, and is reinforced by a light cedar. I take the tobacco note to be tobacco with coumarin, giving a hay-like scent. These 3 elements give the same honeyed gorgeousness of the fresh, moist Dutch blonde cigarette tobacco used to roll your own. It made me want to take up smoking again. I know the ‘cigarette’ in this fragrance is often said to be more of a pipe or that the tobacco is smoke, but I definitely see it as freshly packaged, unsmoked blonde cigarette tobacco. The jasmine and the tobacco hold together quite well and do a fairly linear dance with each other through the drydown. Linear works here as you catch different parts of the elements coming together in different ways all the time: jasmine and cedar, tobacco and tonka, jasmine and hay, but usually simply jasmin et cigarette.

A Masculine Jasmine, Pants Only Please

Etat Libre d'Orange JASMIN ET CIGARETTE seems entirely unisex if not masculine to me. No sweetness whatsoever--at least not to my nose--and the jasmine is dry and dusty, mixed up with the lint of a coat pocket in which a few filterless cigarettes were left until they broke open, spilling slightly old but unburnt tobacco about.

This is a very nice atmosphere scent, actually. A masculine jasmine, with enough tobacco mixed in to make it not seem too floral at all. I definitely get the intended connotation of a certain type of woman, who ELdO says could be Greta Garbo or Marlène Dietrich or Charlotte Gainsbourg. Although this does not stink like Gitanes, fortunately!
