Jasmine
Jasmine presents a complex and multifaceted olfactory profile, ranging from intensely sweet, floral, and narcotic to subtly green, waxy, and even animalic or indolic. The initial impression can be bright and slightly sharp, particularly in compositions featuring Sambac jasmine, evolving into a rich, creamy, and lush floral heart. Grandiflorum jasmine often exhibits a more pronounced waxy, slightly fruity, and deeply sensual character. The indolic facet, reminiscent of mothballs or decay, is a hallmark of natural jasmine absolute and contributes to its captivating, almost dirty sensuality. Its texture feels opulent and velvety. Intensity is typically high, with excellent projection and diffusion, particularly as a heart note. Longevity is significant, often lingering well into the base, especially when supported by fixatives. It primarily functions as a powerful heart note, providing structure and diffusion, but can appear in the top in green or aldehydic compositions, or lend depth to the base in heavy orientals.
