Quick answers
What is Jasmine?
Sambac or grandiflorum — cream by day, animal gold after dusk.
EDP vs EDT — what changes?
Concentration is oil in alcohol, not a quality score. EDT (about 5–15%) shows more top; EDP (about 15–20%) shows more heart and base. Houses vary; this is not a lab assay.
How should I wear Jasmine?
One or two sprays on skin or cloth — sternum or hair, not a cloud in a lift. Let it turn an hour before you add more.
Which season fits?
Warm evenings. Cold rooms turn it soapy.
Does skin chemistry change it?
Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter.
What about IFRA and oakmoss?
IFRA sets industry limits on some naturals and synthetics. A reformulation is usually a legal edit, not a betrayal. This atlas is not a safety sheet.
An accord is a geometry. Jasmine is rose, jasmine, sandalwood, oud, vetiver, musk or amber stacked on purpose.
Naturals and molecules share the same pyramid; IFRA draws some of the lines.
Accords
- Grasse absolute — Indolic grandiflorum, waxy, tea-green.
- Sambac night — Banana, heady, less “cologne jasmine”.
- Hedione air — Transparent jasmine for modern eaux.
- Sandal-jasmine — Samsara geometry.
- Aldehydic jasmine — No. 5’s sparkle over Grasse flowers.
Materials
- Jasmine grandiflorum abs. — Egypt and leftover Grasse; the “French” profile.
- Jasmine sambac abs. — India, Southeast Asia; mogra.
- Hedione / Hedione HC — The air molecule; HC is richer.
- Indole — Living-flower and decay, depending on dose.
- Benzyl acetate — Fruity-jasmine ester, easy to cheapen the accord.
- Ylang extra — Fattens a thin jasmine heart.
Smell the materials before you trust a note list on a box of Jasmine.
