Water Jasmine

Water jasmine, or wrightia antidysenterica, is a lesser-known white flower native to South and Southeast Asia. Its delicate blossoms produce a fresh, clean, and subtly sweet floral scent that is lighter and more aquatic than traditional jasmine varieties.

Where Indian or Egyptian jasmine is heavy and narcotic, water jasmine is transparent and refreshing with a dewy, almost watery quality that lives up to its name. In perfumery, water jasmine brings a modern, clean interpretation of jasmine that appeals to contemporary tastes.

It provides the beauty of jasmine without the intensity, making it perfect for casual, everyday fragrances. The note works beautifully in fresh floral, aquatic floral, and clean compositions.

Water jasmine pairs well with other light florals, green tea, white musk, citrus, and watery notes. It is particularly popular in Asian-inspired fragrances and modern feminine compositions seeking elegance without heaviness.

Water jasmine represents the more approachable, wearable side of the jasmine family.
