Jasmine, a fragrant flower commonly used in perfumery and tea, derives from plants in the genus Jasminum, part of the olive family Oleaceae. The plant is native to tropical and warm temperate regions, with most varieties being white, although some species come in yellow.
The scent profile of jasmine is highly distinctive and valued for its sweet, heady floral notes, often described as exotic and sensual. It blends both musky and fruity undertones, creating a complex and intensely aromatic experience. The fragrance is deeply penetrating and persistent, typically associated with warmth and richness. Jasmine's aroma has calming properties and is often used to promote relaxation.
Perfect for evening fragrances and luxurious personal care products, jasmine provides a lush, romantic base note or a vibrant heart note in many popular perfumes and scented products. This flower's signature scent has also made it a staple in aromatherapy and holistic practices.
