The Blossom of Bliss – A Flower for Heart, Spirit, and Sensual Wholeness


Jasmine is a delicate, star-shaped flower revered for its intensely sweet, floral fragrance. Native to tropical and warm temperate regions, jasmine thrives in parts of Asia, North Africa, and Southern Europe.

In herbal and spiritual traditions, jasmine is celebrated for its romantic, soothing, and emotionally uplifting nature — often linked to love, feminine energy, and emotional renewal.

The most commonly used species in aromatherapy and wellness are Jasminum officinale (common jasmine) and Jasminum sambac (Arabian jasmine).
