A New Take on Jasmine

For centuries, jasmine has been the queen of white florals—beloved, yet often rendered in heavy, indolic richness that leans decidedly feminine. Jasmine & Yuzu challenges that tradition.

Here, the precious Chinese Jasmine from Guangxi, China—extracted using advanced CO₂ supercritical technology—reveals a purer, more luminous side. This is jasmine stripped of heaviness, left with only its most ethereal qualities: airy, transparent, alive.

The secret lies in the pairing. Yuzu—a rare, water-drenched citrus—cuts through the floral heart with its bittersweet sparkle. Lemon and grapefruit add brightness, while magnolia and Brazilian Gardenia provide soft, green floral accents. The result is a jasmine that feels weightless, modern, and entirely unbound by convention.

Key Natural Essences

  • Chinese小花茉莉 (Jasmine Sambac) – Sourced from Heng County, Guangxi. Extracted using CO₂ supercritical technology—a costly, advanced method that preserves the flower's purest, most radiant character. The result is a jasmine that is fresh, green, and astonishingly natural.

  • Japanese Yuzu – A rare and precious citrus, prized for its bittersweet, water-drenched brightness. It cuts through floral richness with a sparkling, almost effervescent clarity.

  • CO₂ Supercritical Extraction – An innovative technique that captures the complete aromatic profile of botanicals without the heat degradation of traditional methods. Here, it allows the jasmine to express its most delicate, authentic self.
