Synthetic Alternatives
While natural Indian Jasmine is highly prized, synthetic versions, known as Jasmine accord, are also used in perfumery. These are crafted through chemical synthesis to mimic the scent of real jasmine at a more affordable cost and with consistent quality.
Perfumer's Tips
Indian Jasmine is best used as a middle note to anchor and enrich floral bouquets. Its intensity means it should be used sparingly to avoid overwhelming the composition. Blending it with other notes can enhance its floral character while adding complexity to the fragrance.
