Jasmin de Coree by Babani: launched in 1920. The name means "Korean jasmine" in French.
Jasmin de Coree. A simple flower odor, haunting as a song. Jasmine is like a challenge, so provocative is its sweetness. Women of the East wear Jasmin, then even heavy veils cannot smother their allure. It is particularly graceful with filmy dance dresses or cool summer clothes.
If you are demure, but with a hidden sparkle - fond of nature and travel - you will choose Babani's Afghani and Jasmin de Coree. For your third perfume, you will blend equal parts of these. For Blondes blend Ming with Jasmin de Coree.
So what does it smell like? It was classified as a soft floral fragrance for women with a dominant jasmine note. I have no published notes on this composition. I would need a sample to tell you what it smells like. It was described as a "provocative odor" and "delicately, subtly sweet. The perfume of youth".
These fragrances lend themselves so well to the European manner of using perfume — of blending perfumes to suit your mood and costume. Blend two or more Babani perfumes to create a personal perfume formula, a new fragrance which no one can identify or imitate, that will emphasize your interesting complexity, will seem to vary as your charming moods, and yet be essentially you. It was suggested that you blend Jasmin de Coree with Fleurs d'Annam and Sousouki.
