July Birth Fragrance
Birth Fragrance
Jasmine
Jasmine is a mystical flower called the 'Queen of the Night,' whose fragrance is composed of over 200 complex components. It has the characteristic of releasing a strong scent at night, a phenomenon resulting from evolutionary strategy to attract nocturnal moths. The main aromatic components - benzyl acetate, benzyl benzoate, linalool, and trace amounts of indole - maintain an exquisite balance, creating a unique fragrance that combines pure floral sweetness with sensual depth. While indole produces an unpleasant odor at high concentrations, it functions as a 'magical component' that dramatically enhances the flower's appeal in minute amounts. In ancient Persia, this fragrance was called 'God's gift (Yasmin)' and was treasured as a symbol of love and beauty. The contrasting elements of July's starry night wishes during Tanabata and the fervent summer festivals on earth are beautifully expressed through jasmine's varying fragrance intensity between day and night. Scientific research has revealed that jasmine's scent stimulates creativity and reduces the stress hormone cortisol, believed to enhance motivation for wish fulfillment.
