Origin

Jasmine is primarily sourced from Jasminum grandiflorum and Jasminum sambac, cultivated in regions such as India, Egypt, and Grasse. The essential oil is typically extracted through solvent extraction or enfleurage, as the delicate flowers yield little oil through steam distillation.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use jasmine as a heart note, central to many floral and oriental compositions. It blends well with rose, tuberose, sandalwood, and citrus, providing radiance and complexity. Jasmine is valued for its ability to round out and elevate both feminine and unisex fragrances.
