Jasmine Grandiflorum Absolute

Fragrance Material | Absolute

Jasmine Grandiflorum Absolute, extracted from the blossoms of Jasminum grandiflorum, is one of the most timeless and iconic floral materials in perfumery. Cultivated in India, Egypt, and parts of the Mediterranean, these sun-warmed morning-blooming flowers yield an absolute of extraordinary richness, elegance, and depth.

Compared to the exotic, fruitier Jasminum sambac, grandiflorum is more refined, honeyed, and gently narcotic, with a velvety balance of floral sweetness, tea-like freshness, and soft animalic undertones. It is indispensable in both classic and contemporary perfumery as a heart note of unparalleled sophistication.
