Product Overview

Parijat Absolute Oil—revered across India as Harsingar, Shefali, or Night-Blooming Coral Jasmine—is one of the rarest, most sacred, and deeply prized botanical extracts in traditional Indian perfumery. Solvent-extracted from the delicate, night-blooming white-and-saffron blossoms of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis collected at dawn, it delivers an enchanting, sweet, honeyed white-floral bouquet layered with warm saffron-spice, ripe apricot, fresh green leaf, and velvety woody-balsamic undertones, acting as both an ethereal heart note and a natural fixative.
