Jasmine

It is said that Cleopatra perfumed her veils with jasmine before meeting Mark Antony, so that its wake would precede her entrance. In India, jasmine is called "queen of the night" because its flowers open at dusk and fill the air with their intoxicating scent. From antiquity to the present day, jasmine has embodied seduction, sensuality, and timeless grace.

Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum or Jasminum sambac) blooms in summer at dawn, when the petals are still drenched in dew. The flowers are handpicked, one by one, to preserve their fragility. Its fragrance, impossible to capture through distillation, is obtained by extraction with volatile solvents that produce jasmine absolute, a precious and essential raw material in fine perfumery.

In aromatherapy, jasmine is known as a powerful emotional comforter. Its voluptuous scent is said to have an emotional effect, reducing tension and promoting self-confidence. It is associated with joy, openness of the heart, and the alleviation of anxiety.

Jasmine offers an opulent floral fragrance, with warm, sunny and honeyed facets, enhanced with animal and slightly fruity nuances.
