The Best Jasmine Fragrances

Jasmine is the most used floral note in perfumery after rose, and for good reason: its unique molecular richness — simultaneously floral, animalic, lightly fruited and deeply bewitching — makes it a versatile ingredient that master perfumers never stop exploring. They say a fragrance without jasmine is like a kitchen without salt: something essential is missing. The jasmine of Grasse, whose flowers must be picked at dawn before the heat alters their aromas, is one of the most precious and expensive ingredients in perfumery. This selection celebrates jasmine in all its expressions — from opulent, slightly animalic jasmine absolute to crystalline and airy synthetic indole. Fragrances that carry within them the Mediterranean night and its particular floral eroticism.
