Wild Jasmine
Fragrance notes
Character
A screened porch in the warm part of the year holds a clay pot of jasmine vines that have grown into the slats of the railing. The air moves through the leaves and the two jasmine varieties at once, one slightly wilder and more untamed than the other, both tangled among the green jasmine leaf. The white floral weight sits in the space without pressing down. A faint animalic trace runs underneath the fresh petals, reminding you that the plant is alive and growing outdoors rather than arranged in a vase.
The petals begin to dominate the leaf as the morning continues. The wild jasmine takes on a deeper, more rounded character while the standard jasmine stays bright and lifted. The animalic edge softens into the background and lets the floral accords breathe. The leaf remains present but steps back, letting the white flowers carry the atmosphere of the porch. The freshness stays intact while the overall impression grows heavier and more settled in the warm air.
The scent hangs in the shaded corners of the porch where the vines climb highest, the white floral richness mixing with the faint earthiness that rose from the animalic accord earlier. The jasmine leaf still cools the air near the floorboards while the two flowers continue to release their petals into the space, the wild variety pushing further into the room as the standard bloom holds steady against the breeze that comes through the screen
