Jasmine is an iconic flower in perfumery, renowned for its captivating fragrance, which is simultaneously floral, warm, and slightly fruity. Its transformation into a fragrance is a delicate process, where every step is crucial to preserve its precious essence.
The flowers are harvested by hand, early in the morning, when they are at their peak of freshness and aromatic power. Once picked, they are immediately processed to prevent any alteration of their scent. Extraction by volatile solvents is the preferred method to obtain a concrete, an aromatic paste that is then purified to produce jasmine absolute.
This essence is highly concentrated and much sought after in perfumery. Used as a heart note, it brings elegance, depth, and sensuality to many compositions. Its subtle character blends wonderfully with other ingredients such as rose, woods, or citrus.
Creating a jasmine-based perfume requires a combination of delicacy, expertise, and precision. Thanks to mastered techniques, this flower becomes the soul of many creations.
