Jasmine

Jasmine (Jasminum officinale) is a climbing plant known for its sweet, intensely floral and exotic aroma. Its fragrance is intoxicating, sensual and warm, with velvety and delicately fruity overtones. Jasmine flowers, which open mainly at night, emit a more intense fragrance in the evening.

This plant native to tropical and subtropical regions has been valued for centuries in various cultures. In India, jasmine is considered the “queen of flowers” and is used in religious ceremonies and celebrations.

In perfumery, jasmine is one of the most precious and expensive ingredients. It is an essential component of many women’s perfumes and is considered one of the pillars of floral perfumery. Its extract, known as “jasmine absolute”, requires thousands of flowers to produce a small amount.
