West Wales is springing into summer and here at our perfume house perched right on the edge we are looking forward to days that are fine and it is warm in the sun.
To feel the sheer joy of stepping outdoors.
Enjoying gentle warmth on your skin, pupils dilate absorbing bright rays.
To watch nature stretching and unravelling. Taking root, reaching up.
And it is now that we start to observe the jasmine as it curves and climbs.
Soft leaf unfurling. First swellings of tentative bud.
Later to burst into cascading blossoms of creamy white flowers offering up their intoxicating bouquet - as welcome and as warm as sunshine itself.
Intimate and inviting, jasmine is the cosseting note you find at the very heart of HIRAETH.
Gently warming.
