“The Flower”
The jewel of Grasse, where it is commonly called “the flower,” jasmine is native to India, its leading global producer today along with Egypt. Its tiny white flowers, fragile-looking but powerfully scented, yield an absolute with floral, warm, opulent, creamy and slightly animalic facets. Indispensable in grand classic florals, jasmine embodies a refined, voluptuous sensuality. Discover the many faces of this delicate flower by journeying through botany, gastronomy, history, agriculture and chemistry without overlooking, of course, perfume and perfumers.
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
