By the editors · 2 min readMarzipan arrives first—rich, almost edible almond paste draped over white jasmine. The opening is surprisingly literal, less abstraction than confession: this is what the name promises, a gourmand interpretation of jasmine that leans firmly into its sweetness. The jasmine itself stays clean and narcotic rather than indolic, supported by the almond's rounded warmth.
As it develops, a benzoin undertow adds resinous depth, pulling the composition away from pure confection toward something more ambered and skin-like. The marzipan softens but never disappears entirely, threading through the heart like a persistent sweetness.
This suits those drawn to jasmine sambac's honeyed facets but wary of its animalic turns. It wears close, intimate rather than projecting, more private indulgence than statement scent. The effect is cozy without being cloying, provided you have tolerance for sweetness in your florals.
