Smooth, extremely potent floral smell that is both sweet and lingering.

History:

Buddhist and Hindu temples use these flowers in abundance. It is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in warm temperate and subtropical regions, and is often used to adorn certain hairstyles. Jasmine was referred to in ancient times as the King of Oils (rose being the Queen) due to it being the most masculine of all the floral oils.

Cautions:

It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance becomes lost.
