Jasmine: The Perfume of Love
Posted by Pure Cosmetica on 31st Jan 2022
Its scent has been described in literature as heavenly, exotic, exquisite, sensual, intense, narcotic, intoxicating, sweet and warm – certainly not a fragrance for the faint hearted.
Although I think the jasmine flowers themselves are delicate and quite feminine, jasmine is often described as the “King of Essential oils” having a more masculine scent and nature than Rose, known as the “Queen of oils”. The properties and uses of jasmine and rose do somewhat overlap, but jasmine is an oil better suited to both sexes, whereas rose is a distinctly feminine, with a particular affinity to the womb.
Jasmine, with all its complexity, has been central to the perfume industry for centuries making up many of the middle notes. Its expense is high, but even a very small quantity of jasmine oil can give body and fullness to most perfume bases, or to aromatherapy blends.
Intimate Scent
Jasmine evokes memories of summery evenings and gentle breezes, lifting the spirits, relaxing the body and dissolving emotional barriers, and therefore encouraging intimacy. Long considered an aphrodisiac, jasmine has historically been associated with promoting Intimacy, romance, transcending physical love, closeness and breaking down barriers to full expression of sexuality and oneness.
Origin of Jasmine
Originally native to Persia and Kashmir, and brought to Europe in quantities via spain in the 17th century, Jasmine has a long and rich history in several cultures. In India it symbolises divine hope; in China, the sweetness of women. The Indian Love God (Karma) tips his arrows with jasmine blossoms, to pierce the heart through the senses. In Hindu traditions, Jasmine is revered as “the perfume of love”.
