Information
Jatamansi, also known as Nardostachys jatamansi, is a plant native to the Himalayas, valued in traditional Ayurvedic medicine and perfumery. Its root, known for its calming properties, is used in healing practices and as a fragrant ingredient.
In perfumery, jatamansi is utilized for its unique, warm, and earthy scent. This rare and precious essence adds depth and mystery to fragrance compositions, often serving as a base in oriental and woody perfumes.
Characteristic of jatamansi is its ability to balance and enrich other fragrance notes. It can be blended with floral, woody, or spicy elements, creating complex and layered scent bouquets. Its use in perfumes often brings a note of tranquility and relaxation, reflecting the meditative and calming properties of the plant.
Beyond its perfumery applications, jatamansi has a broad use in Ayurveda as a calming agent and a supporter of mental functions. It is also used in skincare products, where its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties can benefit in treating skin issues.
