Fado Jasmim Special Edition
Fado Jasmim Special Edition is a bold white floral with a tropical fruit opening and an animalic, mossy base. Banana, passionfruit and plum give it a ripe, unusual start before jasmine sambac, tuberose and indole take over. This is not a quiet floral. The voting pattern points to strong projection and long wear, with enough animalic civet, oud, oakmoss and musk to.

Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Fado Jasmim Special Edition opens with banana, lemon leaf oil, passionfruit and plum, then moves into a dense white floral heart of jasmine sambac, indole and tuberose softened by peach and rose. The base brings oakmoss, civet, oud, coconut, amber, ambergris, musk and coumarin, giving it a sweet, mossy, animalic and musky finish.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe white floral accord is the main body of the scent, but it is not clean or airy. The animalic accord gives the jasmine and tuberose a warm, bodily edge, while the fruity and sweet accords make the opening ripe and tropical. Moss, musk and amber keep the dry-down darker, warmer and more textured than a typical floral perfume.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Fado Jasmim Special Edition Miguel Matos Review”
Fado Jasmim Special Edition by Miguel Matos is a floral woody musk fragrance, but that category only gives part of the story. This is a white floral with tropical fruit on top and a darker animalic base underneath. It was launched in 2020, and the structure feels more like an expressive niche composition than a soft everyday floral.
The opening is unusual straight away. Banana sits beside lemon leaf oil, passionfruit and plum, giving the first impression a ripe, juicy and slightly green edge. It is not the kind of fruit note that simply adds freshness. Here, the fruit gives the perfume a warm, tropical thickness before the flowers fully arrive.
The heart is where the fragrance becomes more serious. Jasmine sambac, indole and tuberose push the white floral side forward, with peach and rose adding softness around the edges. The indolic material matters because it gives the florals body and skin-like depth. For some wearers, that can feel sensual and vintage-leaning. For others, it may feel too heavy or too animalic.
The dry-down keeps that tension going. Oakmoss, civet, oud, coconut, amber, ambergris, musk and coumarin make the base mossy, warm, musky and slightly sweet. The result is not a clean jasmine perfume and not a simple tropical floral. It has a dense base that can feel earthy, furry and resinous, especially if your skin amplifies animalic notes.
Performance looks like one of its defining traits. The sillage feedback leans strong, with many votes at the highest projection level, and longevity feedback includes a strong long-wearing pattern. There is some weaker feedback too, so skin chemistry still matters, but this is best approached as a noticeable scent rather than a discreet one.
The rating pattern is mixed, which makes sense for this style. A perfume built from banana, indolic jasmine, tuberose, civet, oud and oakmoss is going to divide people. It may appeal strongly to wearers who enjoy bold white florals with a vintage animalic shadow, while feeling too loud, ripe or strange to those who prefer clean florals.
Fado Jasmim Special Edition is worth sampling if you want a dramatic floral with tropical fruit and real texture. It is less suited to blind buying, office wear, hot weather, or anyone sensitive to animalic notes. Treat it as a statement fragrance, not a casual fresh floral.
FAQs
What does Fado Jasmim Special Edition smell like?+
It smells like a ripe tropical white floral built around banana, passionfruit, plum, jasmine sambac, tuberose and indolic floral warmth. The dry-down adds oakmoss, civet, oud, musk, amber and coconut, so it can feel fruity, floral, animalic, mossy and musky at the same time.
Is Fado Jasmim Special Edition more floral or fruity?+
The main impression leans white floral, but the fruit is important in the opening. Banana, passionfruit, plum and peach give the scent a tropical, ripe sweetness before the jasmine sambac, tuberose and indole become more central.
Is Fado Jasmim Special Edition animalic?+
Yes. The accord profile and note list both support an animalic character, especially through indole, civet, musk, ambergris and the darker base materials. If you prefer clean, polished florals, this may feel challenging.
Is Fado Jasmim Special Edition unisex?+
Yes. It is listed as a fragrance for women and men, and the available gender feedback points mostly toward unisex wear. The white floral and tuberose facets may read traditionally feminine to some noses, while the moss, civet, oud and musk add darker balance.
How strong is Fado Jasmim Special Edition?+
The performance voting suggests a strong fragrance. Sillage feedback leans heavily toward strong to enormous, and longevity votes include many long lasting and eternal impressions. Apply carefully if you are wearing it indoors or around scent-sensitive people.
Is Fado Jasmim Special Edition long lasting?+
It appears likely to last well for many wearers, though not everyone reports the same result. The longevity votes include both very weak and moderate feedback, but the stronger side has more support, especially long lasting and eternal responses.
When is the best time to wear Fado Jasmim Special Edition?+
The seasonal voting points most clearly toward winter and fall, with some daytime use. Its dense white floral, animalic and mossy profile may be easier to manage in cooler weather than in heat.
Is Fado Jasmim Special Edition a safe blind buy?+
No, sampling first is the better choice. The structure is distinctive, with banana, indolic jasmine, tuberose, civet, oud and oakmoss. That combination can be exciting for adventurous floral lovers, but it is not an easy blind buy for most people.
Does Fado Jasmim Special Edition smell sweet?+
It has noticeable sweetness from the fruit, coconut, coumarin and amber facets. The sweetness is balanced by moss, musk, civet, oud and indolic white florals, so it should not be judged as a simple fruity sweet perfume.
Who is Fado Jasmim Special Edition best for?+
It suits someone who likes bold white florals, tropical fruit, vintage-leaning mossy bases and animalic texture. It is better for a confident wearer than for someone looking for a clean office floral or a soft everyday musk.

There is not enough supplied evidence to name a close dupe with confidence. For comparison, think in terms of bold animalic white florals, tropical floral perfumes and mossy vintage-leaning compositions rather than a direct substitute.
