Perfumer's Notes

Jasmine is the most widely used perfume ingredient and can be blended with everything and anything. Along with rose, jasmine is a cornerstone ingredient of perfumery; so important are these two flowers that jasmine is referred to as the King of Flowers and rose the Queen. The jasmine-rose accord is in the heart of many fragrances.

Jasmine grandiflorum has a complex fragrance: it’s floral, sweet, narcotic, animalic, green, powerful, tenacious and luscious. A small amount of this powerful oil contributes smooth elegance and balance to a fragrance.
