The popularity of jasmine notes in perfumery can only compete with the popularity of roses, and he himself bears the proud title of "king of flowers". In the twentieth century, the saying "no perfume without jasmine" was popular among perfumers, meaning that few fragrances were created without the use of jasmine notes, even if it was about its functional role. Currently, for the needs of perfumery, raw materials are obtained from two types of jasmine: large-flowered (grandiflorum) and sambac. However, due to its high price, perfumers have learned to create synthetic chords and bases, and unscrupulous suppliers often falsify natural raw materials. Synthetic or semi-synthetic bases can both imitate the aroma of natural raw materials and be fantasy chords. This gives a certain kind of freedom for the perfumer's creativity, highlighting the necessary aspects of the jasmine fragrance and hiding the undesirable ones. Moreover, imitation of the fragrance of fresh jasmine flowers is impossible without the use of synthetic bases. In the encyclopedia Aromo.ru The general concept of "jasmine" includes fragrances, the manufacturers of which did not specify which type of jasmine the perfumer used, as well as fragrances that include fantasy jasmine chords and/or parts thereof.
