Fragrance Note

Jasmine

Jasmine is a rich and highly recognizable floral fragrance note with a sweet, soft, and slightly exotic character. It is often used to give perfumes a sensual and elegant floral quality. Depending on the variety and composition, jasmine can smell creamy, fresh, warm, slightly fruity, or subtly indolic. In the fragrance pyramid, jasmine is most commonly used as a heart note, where it helps shape the main floral character of the perfume and connects the fresh opening with deeper base notes. It blends well with other florals, citrus notes, fruits, woods, musk, vanilla, and amber.
