What is Your Memory Scent?
My memory scent is Jasmin, a fragrance that holds timeless appeal across all ages. Its captivating aroma never grows old or tiresome. I can vividly recall walking down the streets on my way back from school, surrounded by the enchanting scent of Jasmin flowers. The sidewalks were adorned with merchants selling bundles of Jasmin, while talented ladies skillfully crafted intricate earrings and necklaces using thread and needle. They even adorned their hair with Jasmin, turning it into a fragrant and beautiful accessory.
At home, a similar scent filled the air, but with a twist. The ladies in my family would blend Jasmin with pandanus, roses, oud, and other aromatic elements, creating something truly unique. The process of blending these scents became a cherished ritual, brimming with joy, love, and innocent laughter. The room would be filled with delightful aromas as they meticulously crafted perfumes, which were then shared among those involved.
Tuberose
Tuberose, also known as Polianthes tuberosa, is a fragrant white flower that has been used for centuries in perfumery. Tuberose is native to Central America and is known for its rich, heady, and intoxicating aroma. a super-fragrant floral note that makes its presence known no matter what. It's a white flower, similar to jasmine, orange blossom, and gardenia that smells creamy, powdery, and slightly musky as opposed to fresh or fruity like other types of florals. In a past life, I would have found tuberose cloying. But now, I find it incredibly sultry and sophisticated.
In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of tuberose in perfume.
