Lisa Ray Jasmine of India
A spicy, woody jasmine with a brighter, more herbal character than the name suggests. Bergamot and orange lift the opening, then ginger, cardamom and incense shift it away from a soft white-floral style.

Performance looks variable rather than settled. Longevity votes are split between weak and very long-lasting, while sillage trends moderate with a few stronger experiences. In practice, it seems safest to expect a noticeable but not consistently powerful scent, especially if you prefer lighter daytime florals.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
This is a bright, spicy floral built around jasmine, orange blossom, ginger and cardamom, with bergamot and orange giving the opening a fresh lift. As it settles, vetiver, cedar, patchouli and incense-like resins make it drier, woodier and a little earthy, so the overall effect feels more aromatic and textured than soft or sweet.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe main accords feel well matched to the note list. Warm spice is the clearest signature, followed by white florals and woods. Citrus keeps the opening lively, but earthy, patchouli and balsamic tones give the scent a drier, more grounded feel on skin. The result is less plush floral bouquet, more spicy floral with woody structure.

EDITORIAL“The 7 Virtues Lisa Ray Jasmine of India Review”
Lisa Ray Jasmine of India is not the kind of jasmine fragrance its name may lead some shoppers to expect. Instead of going in a creamy, romantic white-floral direction, it leans into spice, woods and a slightly herbal bitterness. Bergamot and orange open the scent with brightness, but that fresh start does not last in a simple citrus-floral way. Ginger and cardamom arrive quickly, and they give the perfume its character.
The jasmine sits in the middle rather than dominating the whole structure. It feels fresher and less plush than a classic heady jasmine perfume. Orange blossom helps keep the floral core open and luminous, while the ginger adds lift and a dry, almost sparkling edge. One of the clearer patterns in the review evidence is that people who enjoy unusual florals tend to respond better to it than people expecting a conventional white floral.
As it develops, the base becomes more noticeable. Vetiver and cedar bring a woody, earthy backbone, while patchouli, myrrh and olibanum add warmth and a soft resinous trail. That combination explains why some wearers describe it as bitter, woody or herbal rather than simply floral. Even with incense and balsamic notes in the formula, it does not seem to turn especially heavy. It usually reads airy, bright and fairly streamlined in wear.
This also helps explain the divided reaction around it. If you want a lush jasmine wrapped in sweetness, this may feel too dry, spicy or sharp. If you like floral perfumes that hold back on sweetness and add vetiver, woods and incense, it has a more distinctive point of view. The strongest praise in the review evidence centers on the fresh opening, the non-overpowering spice, and a dry-down that feels especially satisfying.
For wear, the available votes suggest daytime is the safest fit. Spring and summer also make sense, since the citrus opening and airy structure should feel more comfortable in warm weather than a richer amber floral would. Performance is less settled. Longevity votes are mixed, and sillage looks mostly moderate, so this is not a fragrance to buy purely on expectations of power.
The best reason to sample Lisa Ray Jasmine of India is its balance of freshness and spice. It gives jasmine a woody, earthy frame and avoids the usual soft-focus floral treatment. For the right wearer, that makes it interesting. For the wrong one, it may simply feel too bitter or not floral enough.
FAQs
What does Lisa Ray Jasmine of India smell like?+
It smells like a spicy, woody jasmine with citrus at the top and a herbal, slightly bitter edge. The jasmine is present, but it is not a soft, purely floral jasmine scent.
Is this a typical white floral perfume?+
No. Reviews and the note structure both point to a more aromatic, woody and spicy style. If you want a lush, sweet white floral, this may feel drier and more textured.
How strong is the jasmine here?+
Jasmine is important, but it shares the stage with ginger, cardamom, vetiver, incense and cedar. On many wearers, the composition reads more spicy-woody than fully floral.
Does Lisa Ray Jasmine of India lean feminine or unisex?+
It is marketed for women, but the scent profile can read more flexible than that. The fresh citrus, woods, vetiver and spice can also appeal to people who enjoy unisex florals.
Is it good for hot weather?+
It may suit spring and summer well. The citrus, airy feel and moderate floral character suggest it wears more comfortably in warm weather than very dense or syrupy florals.
Can I wear it during the day?+
Yes. Daytime looks like its clearest lane. The fresh opening and lighter overall feel make it easier to wear casually, at work, or for warm daytime settings.
Is this perfume sweet?+
Not especially. Based on the notes and reviews, it leans more citrusy, spicy, woody and slightly balsamic than sugary or gourmand.
How does it change from opening to dry-down?+
It opens bright with bergamot and orange, then moves into ginger, cardamom and jasmine. In the dry-down, vetiver, cedar, patchouli and incense-like notes tend to shape the scent more strongly.
Is the perfume airy or heavy?+
It usually comes across as airy rather than heavy, even with warm spicy and balsamic elements. Reviews describe it as bright and fairly linear, not thick or overwhelming.
How is the longevity?+
The performance votes are mixed. Some wearers found it weak, while others rated it long lasting or even very strong, so testing on skin is the safest approach.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREEvidence is too thin for a confident dupe claim. The safer comparison is by style: this sits closer to a spicy, woody white floral than to a soft, sweet jasmine soliflore. If you mainly want creamy jasmine or orange blossom, sample alternatives in that smoother floral direction rather than expecting this to fill the same role.
