Introduction Jasmine Grandiflorum Absolute is one of the most iconic floral extracts in perfumery, known for its soft, elegant, and sophisticated aroma. Compared to Jasmine Sambac, it is less indolic and more refined, with a delicate balance of floral sweetness and green freshness. Originating from South Asia and widely cultivated for luxury fragrance houses, Jasmine Grandiflorum has also found a place in Thai wellness and beauty traditions.
At Herbsmetics, we feature this absolute in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket, where guests discover how its gentle yet complex fragrance can elevate blends with timeless elegance.
