While rose is likely the first note that comes to mind when picturing top floral scents, the best jasmine perfumes are just as intoxicating and extremely underrated. Widely used in aromatherapy as well as fragrance, the scent is slightly fruit-forward and highly popular among many perfumers.
You'll most commonly find it as a middle or heart note, which is what you smell when your fragrance begins to warm up on your skin. “The floral scent of jasmine is rich, sweet, fruity, and sensual,” Linda G. Levy , president of The Fragrance Foundation, tells Bazaar . “Unlike other flowers, jasmine also has a slight animalistic edge that smells tenacious and musky.”

The beloved flower can be found in many places throughout the world, but Levy explains that “jasmine grows mainly in Egypt and India, where it accounts for the major global production of the world.” But what does it take to bottle jasmine in a fragrance? “It takes six to seven million jasmine flowers to produce one kilogram of essential oil,” adds Levy. So, it's no surprise that the sweet-smelling notes of jasmine are very expensive in perfumery and commonly found in luxury and designer bottles.
