Collection: Jasmine

Jasmine has a highly faceted fragrance due to its complex molecular structure. Among its main organic constituents are benzyl acetate, giving it a fruity note with a hint of banana, benzyl salicylate with sunny effects, cis-3 hexenol with green tones, and paracresol, which adds an animalic and herbaceous odor.

One of jasmine's main molecules is indole, an animalic, carnal note. On its own, its odor can be unsettling, with a naphthalene-like aspect. However, it adds depth and sensuality to fragrances. This molecule, naturally produced by our bacterial flora, is a derivative of tryptophan, the amino acid precursor of serotonin, the molecule of happiness. This partly explains the enchanting charm of jasmine.
