The Bewitching Yasmine (EDP)

"The Bewitching Yasmine is a dark, smoky amber-floral fragrance from Penhaligon's Portraits collection. Its opening combines aromatic cardamom with the roasted bitterness of coffee, creating a striking and somewhat polarizing introduction. Jasmine sambac forms the floral heart, while fir adds a cool, resinous green facet. The drydown blends Tahitian vanilla with Laotian oud and incense, producing a warm, mysterious, and sensual effect. Although the fragrance is feminine in presentation, its oud, coffee, and incense structure gives it a notably bold and unconventional character. It is particularly suited to colder weather and evening wear."
