While out shopping for the best Jasmine scent perfume, keep the following points in mind:

• Notes: The first point to consider is how strong you want the Jasmine note to be along with what other notes it is accompanied by. For a light and sweet finish, opt for fruity and floral base notes while for a heartier finish, opt for woody or musky jasmine scent notes.
• Sweetness: The sweetness level varies greatly in jasmine perfumes. Floral and fruity notes offer a sweeter finish while amber and woody notes offer a muskier scent.
• Longevity: For regular use, you will want a jasmine perfume that has a longer staying power. And for special occasions, you can opt for those that may or may not have much longevity.
• Price: Jasmine perfumes are expensive. Sometimes smaller perfumes are more expensive than larger ones but their longevity is greater. Look for lasting power before you discard a small perfume due to its higher price. 
• Other Ingredients: Apart from the strong scent of Jasmine Grandiflorum, you need to look for a perfume that is rich in other under notes that makes it ideal for daily wear. Look for bitter orange, green notes, Egyptian jasmine, sweet jasmine, spices of jasmine, citrus note, orange flower and a light jasmine fragrance. 
• Customer Reviews: Go through the reviews thoroughly to know about the lasting power and how the perfume performs after mingling with the warmth of our body.

Here are a few handy tips and tricks to make your Jasmine scent perfume last longer:

• Apply on pulse points: The skin at our pulse points like the elbows, wrists, neck, behind the ears, and back of the knees, are the thinnest. It means that those are closer to our blood and body heat. Spraying the perfume on those points will allow for the scent to get warmer and the aroma process to start faster.
• Don’t rub the wrists together: Rubbing the wrists together after applying the perfume will create friction and make the top notes evaporate faster. Instead, dab your wrists together to blot the spray without affecting its longevity.
• Spray after a shower: Spraying your perfume after taking a warm shower will let the scent get absorbed quickly. After a shower, our body temperature remains high, the pores are open, and our skin is naturally hydrated. Pat your body dry, apply a moisturizer to trap the hydration, and spritz on your Jasmine perfume. The clean, hydrated skin will hold the perfume for a longer period.
• Keep skin hydrated: Before applying the perfume, layer your body or particular areas with moisturizing body oil, lotion, or balm. That layer of moisture will keep the fragrance trapped for a longer time. 
• Spray on clothes: Spraying the perfume on clothes will last the Jasmine fragrance longer. The accumulation of sweat and natural oil build-up can make the scent wear off from the skin but fabrics hold onto scent for a long, long time.

The following are some simple steps to test a fragrance properly:

1. Start with Blotters: The fragrance section in stores often has small rectangular strips of paper kept alongside them. These are blotters made from porous papers that absorb the perfume and give you a reading of how the fragrance smells. To test a perfume, spritz two or three sprays in a downward motion into a cloud. Then pass the scent strip through the perfume cloud and let it absorb. Now, wave the scented blotter under your nose. Do not let it touch the nose. Close your eyes and inhale. If you like the scent, then next test it on your skin.
2. Try on Skin: Spray the fragrance on your wrist or back of the hand in a downward motion. Now, let the scent settle onto your skin for about 20 to 30 seconds. After it has dried up a little, bring your hand close to your nose and inhale. Be careful to keep your hand one or two inches away from your nose. 
3. Take your Time: This is the most important step to gauging perfume. Let the scent rest on your hand for a full 30 minutes before you inhale it again. The perfume will get the time to play with your body’s natural chemistry and over time, the fragrance will deepen. Now, when you smell it, you will get a true reading of how the perfume will work with your body's warmth.
4. Points to Remember: It is advisable to test perfumes during the earlier half of the day as our senses remain the sharpest at that time of the day. Also, do not test more than 3 perfumes in a day. Our sense of smell will get overwhelmed and confused after 3 fragrances.
