The essence of jasmine is the soul of many luxury perfumes and, along with the rose, the most used flower in perfumery. 

For the Chinese, it signifies feminine sweetness; in medieval art, it was associated with the Virgin, and the Hindus called it “moonlight of the woods”. A flower with a sweet and intense aroma and a presence of poetry and love that makes its essence the protagonist of many of the fragrances most sophisticated.  

Etimologically the name 'jasmine' derives from classical Arabic yàsamìn and means “gift of God”.  

To create perfumes, the concrete essence of jasmine is extracted, from which the absolute essence is obtained through alcohol washing.
