The scent lasts forever and reminds me of hot summer nights' Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has revealed her favourite fragrance and shoppers can buy it from high-end retailers (Image: Getty Images) Sometimes, when we stumble upon a perfume, we know it's a special one if it takes us back to a specific time or place. Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is known for her elegance and beauty, has revealed her favourite fragrance that does exactly that - and it can be bought from high-end retailers. The actress and singer, known for starring in Chicago and The Legend of Zorro, revealed in an interview with Glamour back in 2021 that one of her favourite scents was Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge. As it suggests in the name, the perfume contains Jasmine, which, according to the actress, "evokes such wonderful memories for [her]". During the interview, Catherine said: "We have a lot of jasmine around the property in Mallorca, and I always take my last swim as the sun is going down. That's when the jasmine really starts to flourish and you can smell it."

A 50ml bottle of Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge could cost you in the range of £188.70 to £222 from retailers such as John Lewis, Selfridges and from the Tom Ford website (Image: Selfridges) The NOU Jasmin Perfume for Women EDP 50ml, for example, was £27.10 but is now £11.20 at Superdrug, providing a £15.90 saving for beauty enthusiasts. The NOU Jasmin Perfume combines 'captivating' jasmine notes for a 'floral and alluring scent that lasts' according to the retailer. While there are no reviews of the perfume on Superdrug's website, there are on Amazon's site, which is currently selling the perfume for a marginally higher price of £12.99. So far, NOU Jasmin Perfume on Amazon has received a rating of 3.6 out of five stars based on 64 global reviews. "Love the fragrance," one happy reviewer said. "Exactly Jasmin smell. If you compare this to south India wedding, this smell you will get commonly as Jasmine flower we use in wedding for decorations/ for hair etc". But not everyone was pleased with the perfume and gave it a three-star rating. They reviewed: "Smells nice and a bit like jasmine but the perfume doesn't last long". However, another customer said it had a "very gentle scent", while another said it was "perfect". Elsewhere, those looking for a jasmine scent for a decent price could also purchase the Yardley English Jasmine Eau de Toilette 125ml from Boots, originally priced at £18 but now £6 cheaper at £12. The Boots fragrance has a floral scent, with notes of lemon and mandarin, mixed with 'delicate' notes of calamondin and frangipani, which complements the rich floral jasmine scent. The fragrance has received a rating of 3.9 out of five stars and 29 reviews. One customer was seemingly happy with their purchase and reviewed: "The scent is sooooooo good the citrusy floral scent just captures you. "The scent last long for about 3 hours and I love the packaging as it gives a rich look. It is also very cheap and worth the money and also love the fact that it is vegan friendly so I can recommend to my vegan friends". Like Catherine Zeta-Jones, this perfume evoked memories for one shopper. In their review, they penned: "Yardleys is a brand that reminds me of my Grandma, yet it's a brand I have grown to love over the years. "This scent is beautiful, not too strong that it overpowers the room but fresh enough. I have been wearing this perfume for the last month and have had several compliments. "This is a brand I have bought before and will definitely continue to buy. This product is value for money and I've even heard this particular scent be compared to Gucci. The packaging is good quality as well as a well made bottle." But the perfume didn't suit everyone. One shopper claimed: "The perfume isn't as strong as others nor does it last as long as I would have liked it to, the scent doesn't resemble jasmine, it's more like a wood smell, however the size of the bottle is good value for money, + it's vegan so it works well for a wider range of people". However, other customers were of a different view. This reviewer said: "I absolutely love Yardley London English Jasmine Eau de Toilette! The scent is fresh, floral, and beautifully delicate, making me feel elegant and confident every time I wear it. "It has the perfect balance—light enough for everyday use but still long-lasting. The jasmine notes are so natural and refreshing, not too overpowering, just the right amount of sophistication. "The packaging is also lovely, simple yet classy. Plus, I appreciate that it's made with 94% natural ingredients and is vegan & cruelty-free. It's truly one of my favourite fragrances!" Catherine Zeta-Jones isn't the only one to love Tom Ford Jasmin Rogue. While there are no reviews on the Selfridges and Tom Ford website, on John Lewis's website, the perfume has received a rating of five out of five stars based on eight reviews. One customer said: "My favourite perfume. The scent lasts forever and reminds me of hot summer nights." Another described it as "truly amazing and unique". And while one praised it as "refreshing and lasting", they had an issue with one thing. They added: "Absolutely love it. It's expensive but well worth it. However, not sure about the bottle's design, could do better; the bottle is masculine looking whereas the scent is delicate."
