Italian Jasmine

Italian jasmine, specifically jasminum grandiflorum cultivated in the Grasse region and broader Mediterranean areas of Italy, is one of the finest jasmine varieties used in perfumery. The warm Italian climate produces blossoms with a refined, elegant character that balances richness with freshness.

Italian jasmine absolute has a cleaner, more transparent quality compared to the heavier Indian varieties. It is sweet, honeyed, and slightly fruity with a green freshness that gives it exceptional versatility.

In Italian perfumery tradition, jasmine has always held a place of honor as one of the essential raw materials of fine fragrance. Italian jasmine works beautifully in both feminine and modern compositions where you want jasmine's beauty without its sometimes overwhelming intensity.

It adds a refined elegance to floral hearts and works wonderfully alongside rose, orange blossom, iris, and tuberose. Italian jasmine pairs well with citrus, green notes, and light woods.

It is a staple in floral, chypre, and classic feminine compositions. This variety represents the more European, restrained side of jasmine, perfect for elegant daytime fragrances.
