About turkish jasmine
Turkish jasmine, or Jasminum grandiflorum, originates from the regions of Turkey and is highly valued in perfumery for its full-bodied, intensely floral scent. This variety of jasmine is particularly prized for its sweet, yet slightly fruity and herbaceous nuances, making it a more complex and layered fragrance note than other jasmine species. It is often harvested at night to capture the peak of its fragrance. Turkish jasmine is used in a wide range of fragrances, from pure florals to complex orientals, adding depth, warmth, and a touch of luxury.

Synthetic Alternatives
While natural Turkish jasmine extract is highly sought after, synthetic versions exist and are used to replicate its scent in a more cost-effective manner. These synthetics aim to mimic the complex profile of Turkish jasmine, though they may lack the depth and subtlety of the natural essence.
Perfumer's Tips
In perfumery, Turkish jasmine is often used as a middle note to provide a floral heart to fragrances. It is best used sparingly to avoid overpowering other notes, while still lending its luxurious and full-bodied character to the composition.
