Jasmin Fragrance

A rich and delicate note, displaying the sensual scents of Egyptian jasmine. Jasmine contributes to the elaborate and refined structure of a fragrance.

Jasmine blends very well with many other flowers such as Iris, Rose or Orange Blossom. It also fits perfectly with the Sandalwood.  Its smell will come out much more if used with Vanilla or, in another gourmet accord, with Red Fruits. 

Jasmine or rather the Jasmins

There are more than 200 species, it is a flower particularly important in many countries of the Middle East and East: from Tunisia to Thailand through Iran.

Two varieties are used in perfumery.

Sambac jasmine from India with notes of orange blossom, honey, and fruity.  It is used to perfume tea, mainly in China and for religious uses especially in Thailand. On the other hand, Thai jasmine rice is a variety of rice whose jasmine notes are natural! 

Jasmine grandiflorum comes from Egypt where it represents the second largest source of agricultural income. Its scent is greener and more heady than that of sambac jasmine. It is the one chosen by Candora.

The great perfumes with Jasmine

Over the years, perfumers never stop using this famous flower, so much so that we find it in almost all floral compositions. 

Particularly popular in the 1920s, jasmine is present in many Guerlain perfumes and in two great mythical perfumes, the famous Chanel No. 5, created by Ernest Beaux in 1921, and Joy de Patou, launched by Henri Alméras in 1930. 

Jasmine blends very well with many other flowers such as Iris, Rose or Orange Blossom. It also fits perfectly with the Sandalwood.  Its smell will come out much more if used with Vanilla or, in another gourmet accord, with Red Fruits.
