Jasmine is perfumery's 'queen of the night' — a heady white floral that gives countless fragrances their seductive heart. Here's what makes it so special.
What jasmine smells like
Rich, warm, and intoxicating with a honeyed sweetness and a hint of something almost narcotic. Jasmine is lush and feminine — romantic without being shy. It's the note that makes people close their eyes and inhale.
Two jasmines to know
- Jasmine sambac: greener, brighter, tea-like — fresher and more modern.
- Jasmine grandiflorum: deeper, warmer, more indolic — classic and sultry.
Where jasmine sits in a perfume
