At the very core of our most beloved blends lies a rare, captivating botanical ingredient that defines our olfactory identity: Night-Blooming Jasmine. Unlike traditional jasmine varieties that bask in the daytime sun, these delicate, star-shaped white blossoms remain quietly closed throughout the day, guarding their secrets. It is only under the silver glow of the moon, when the world goes quiet, that they unfurl their petals and release their full, intoxicatingly rich aroma into the cool night air.
This unique behavior requires an extraordinary level of dedication to harvest. Every year during the peak of the Mediterranean summer, our team of expert botanists and harvesters venture into the darkened fields. Between the hours of midnight and 3:00 AM, they hand-pick each individual blossom at the exact moment its fragrance concentration reaches its absolute zenith. If picked during the day, the scent profile changes entirely, losing that magical, sultry edge that makes it so unique.
Once gathered, these precious blossoms undergo a cold-extraction process to preserve the pure, unadulterated essence of the night. In our blending rooms, this nocturnal jasmine is carefully balanced with rich, grounding base notes of smoky premium oud, earthy patchouli, and warm amber crystals. The result is a multi-layered fragrance that evolves beautifully on the skin, shifting from a bright floral whisper into a deep, sensual warmth. It is a slow, highly meticulous process, but we firmly believe that true luxury can never be rushed.
