Parijat

Parijat

Nyctanthes arbor-tristis

About This Material

Parijat is a rare and deeply revered floral attar distilled from the blossoms of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis — the Night Jasmine or Coral Jasmine. The flowers bloom only at night and fall at dawn, making them one of the most ephemeral and precious floral materials in Indian perfumery. Parijat holds a sacred place in Indian culture and mythology.

Olfactive Profile

Delicate, soft, and ethereally floral with a gentle sweetness and a faintly woody, earthy base. Parijat has a quiet, intimate quality — less heady than jasmine, more refined and elusive. Its character is subtle yet deeply evocative, with a natural freshness that lingers softly on the skin.

Perfumery Uses

• Used as a rare, delicate floral note in light oriental and natural compositions
• Adds an elusive, nocturnal floral quality to attars and bespoke blends
• Blends well with rose, mogra, sandalwood, vetiver, and soft musks
• A collector’s material prized for its rarity and cultural significance in Indian perfumery
