Jasmine Absolute's backstory

Jasmine is a delicate flowering plant that’s often described as the “King of Essences” due to its heady, full-bodied nature compared to rose – which is known as the “Queen of Essences.” Floral scents (especially rose) are light and feminine; whereas jasmine is floral but with a richness and a touch of the wild. The jasmine flower is written into the stories of ancient China, Persia, and Egypt. It’s referred to as heavenly-smelling, exotic, exquisite, sensuously rich, intoxicating, sweet, and warm.

This amazing flower was revered by royalty in China and traded along the Silk Road. Additionally, jasmine was an important part of perfumery in the times of Cleopatra and Louis XVI. In Hinduism, jasmine holds a place of honor as the “perfume of love.”
