The Alchemy of Jasmine
NOTES ON HOMEOPATHIC PERFUMERY
Roland Hunt's book, 'Fragrant and Radiant Healing Symphony,'
is a well written study of the mystic properties of perfume, taken
from an alchemical angle. Hunt was a pioneer in aromatherapy.
His book was first published in 1937.
Hunt's hypothesis is that perfumes exist in octaves that correspond
to musical notes. He also develops the idea that colors exist in these
same octaves.
Each perfume, color and tone exist in higher and lower octaves as
well.
According to Hunt, jasmine corresponds to the color Yellow; he
places jasmine alongside of Citron in the position of three octaves
above middle C, in the key of E. This would make jasmine a slightly
greenish yellow.
Jasmine, a very potent perfume, has long been traditonally regarded
as a major basenote in incense and perfumery. Many olfactory
concoctions begin with jasmine, and build from there into an
orchestration of aroma. In India jasmine is called Mogra.
JESSAMINE
The word 'Jessamine' is an old fashioned English rendering of the word
jasmine. The stamps seen here are, of course, creations of my own literary
imagination.
