Jasmine is often referred to as the queen of flowers in perfumery. Revered for its extraordinary complexity, jasmine can be luminous and fresh, rich and narcotic, fruity, green, animalic, or delicately tea-like—all at once. Its remarkable versatility has made it one of the most important and enduring floral themes in fragrance creation.
In this module, participants will explore the many facets of jasmine and the materials that contribute to its distinctive character. Through the study of natural jasmine extracts and key aroma molecules, participants will gain insight into how perfumers interpret, enhance, and reconstruct this iconic flower across different fragrance styles.
Through guided smelling and practical formulation exercises, participants will:
- Develop a deeper understanding of jasmine’s olfactive profile and its role in classical and contemporary perfumery.
- Explore the floral, fruity, green, indolic, tea-like, and sensual facets that define jasmine.
- Learn how natural materials and aroma chemicals work together to create realistic and expressive jasmine accords.
- Understand the structure and balance required to build a floral accord with depth, radiance, and diffusion.
- Create and refine their own jasmine accord under the guidance of a professional perfumer.
Whether you are a fragrance enthusiast, student, or aspiring perfumer, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to study one of perfumery’s most celebrated flowers while gaining practical experience in accord construction and fragrance design.
