JASMINE BUD

Jasmine Bud is a delicate and luminous floral note that captures the green, dewy essence of jasmine at its earliest stage—before it fully blooms. Unlike the rich, indolic intensity of fully opened jasmine flowers, Jasmine Bud is lighter, fresher, and more tender, offering a crisp, green floralcy touched with soft fruitiness and subtle tea-like nuances. It evokes the quiet elegance of a jasmine garden at dawn, when petals are still curled and perfumed with potential. Often used as a heart note, Jasmine Bud imparts freshness and purity to compositions, balancing sensual depth with graceful brightness.

History & Production: The scent of jasmine buds cannot be directly extracted, so perfumers recreate this elusive moment using a blend of natural jasmine absolutes, green notes, and molecules like cis-3-hexenol or hedione to simulate the airy, vegetal quality of unopened blossoms. The result is a beautifully nuanced floral impression—less opulent than mature jasmine, yet full of promise and refinement. In modern perfumery, Jasmine Bud is especially cherished in floral, green, and musky compositions, where it adds a youthful, radiant dimension that feels both intimate and effortlessly sophisticated.
