Jasmin des Anges appeared in 2018 in the exclusive fragrance collection of Dior, where François Demachy gave the jasmine of Grasse an apricot cast. The house calls it floral, apricot-tinged and honeyed, and has never published a set of tiers. The name points to the Baie des Anges, which Christian Dior looked out over from his estate at La Colle Noire. Three sizes: 50, 100 and 200 ml.
A jasmine left to itself for Hulya Aksu, a summer explosion priced a little high for Stephanie Jayne: two readings, one verdict on the flower.
Olfastory’s review
Elevated Classics, July 14, 2026
Hulya Aksu retains a frank, generous jasmine that fills the space without ever turning dense. She recognizes in it the hand of a perfumer who knows when to leave the flower alone, and places the perfume among the simple compositions because everything in it is right.
Apricot gives it its character: it does not sit beside the flower, it draws out the ripe, nectarous side of the flower. Honey reaches her as a texture rather than as an identifiable material, a discreet syrupiness that covers nothing.
She finds the 350 dollars of the 100 ml bottle defensible and compares them with neo-niche prices, which she judges often higher for less work.

She describes a summer explosion: a strongly apricot opening that turns to jasmine in the drydown, and people around her who smell holidays in it. The perfume strikes her as present without heaviness, but it does not last as long as she hoped for the price asked.
