Jasmine
Aroma Profile
Soft, floral, and luminous. Jasmine is one of the great floral aromatics: rich and sweet but not heavy, with an almost honeyed quality and a warmth that deepens on the exhale.
Historical Uses
Jasmine (Jasminum sambac and related species) has been cultivated for its scent across South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean for thousands of years. In Thailand, jasmine holds deep cultural significance: malai jasmine garlands are offered at temples, given as tokens of respect, and used in religious ceremonies throughout the country. Thai jasmine rice (Khao Hom Mali) takes its name from the flower's scent. In India, jasmine is woven into bridal garlands and is central to several regional perfumery traditions. In the Arab world and in Europe, jasmine has been a foundational fine fragrance ingredient since the earliest days of perfumery. Jasmine absolute is one of the most expensive natural aromatic materials in the world.
Modern Uses
Jasmine is a cornerstone of fine perfumery globally and remains central to Thai and South Asian floral tradition. In an inhaler blend, jasmine adds a soft, warm, luminous floral note that brings elegance and depth to any composition it enters.
