Scent of Jasmine gains you life equal to the number of white permanents you control — a number that can spike well above ten in dedicated white-token or enchantment builds, but the effect is a one-shot burst with zero board impact. Pure lifegain with no attached card advantage or tempo swing is almost never worth a deck slot.

In Commander, Scent of Jasmine occupies a narrow niche: white decks that flood the board with permanents can squeeze meaningful life totals out of it, but lifegain alone rarely closes games at a 100-card table and better payoffs exist at the same mana cost. Legacy and Vintage are non-starters — the card does nothing competitive formats care about. Pauper is the most generous home, where common-legal lifegain occasionally matters for racing aggro, but even there Scent of Jasmine competes with more consistent options that gain life incrementally rather than demanding a critical mass of white permanents already in play.
