Jasmine

Information

Jasmine is one of the most important raw materials in perfumery. Jasmine grandiflorum is a climbing plant native to tropical Asia, from the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia, and has small star-shaped white or yellow flowers with a pleasant and intense fragrance. There are two types of jasmine that are most commonly used in perfumery: Jasmine sambac and Jasmine grandiflorum. Jasmine flowers are harvested very early in the morning (between 7 am and 1 pm) to prevent their delicate white petals from being burned by the sun. The flowering time of jasmine grandiflorum is from August until November. 

Jasmine Grandiflorum, also known as Royal Jasmine or Spanish Jasmine, is a highly prized and exquisite floral fragrance note used in perfumery. Its captivating scent is rich, floral, and intensely sweet, with a hint of fruity undertones. Jasmine Grandiflorum is derived from the flowers of the Jasmine Grandiflorum plant, scientifically known as Jasminum grandiflorum, which is native to South Asia.

The scent of Jasmine Grandiflorum is often described as sensual, romantic, and seductive, with a luxurious and opulent quality. It is widely used as a heart or top note in perfumes, where it can lend a sense of elegance, femininity, and sophistication to fragrances. Jasmine Grandiflorum is particularly popular in floral and oriental fragrances, but it can also be found in a variety of other scent compositions.

Jasmine Grandiflorum is valued in perfumery for its complexity and versatility, as it can be used in a wide range of fragrances and can blend harmoniously with other floral, fruity, or oriental notes. It is often used in perfumes to create romantic and sensuous scents, and it is a popular choice in both women's and men's fragrances. Jasmine Grandiflorum can be found in various forms in the market, including as a natural ingredient derived from the flowers, or as a synthetic version that mimics the scent of natural jasmine.
