I have to admit that I am not one of those people who intends to wear the same fragrance every day for the rest of my life.

My fragrance personality tends more towards wearing a perfume to death for a couple of years then moving on to something else.

My current favourite, Marc Jacobs by Marc Jacobs, has had a solid three-year run that will most likely come to an end soon, and I am keen to start sniffing around for something new.

I’m yet to get to a Myer store to sample it, but the new fragrance from luxury jewellery house Bvlgari, Jasmin Noir, looks promising. It’s described as having “the essence of a jeweller” and is aimed at women between the ages of 25 and 40.

Obviously, Jasmin is the main ingredient in the blend, however there are also unexpected top notes of green plants and gardenia combined with base notes of precious wood, licorice and accords of Tonka.

The only catch? Jasmin Noir is pricier than previous Bvlgari scents and will set you back around $160 for the 100ml bottle in most retail outlets.
