ABOUT

EST. 2014

Created by Dana El Masri, Jazmin Saraï  (pronounced Jasmine Sar-eye) is an artisan line of small batch, unisex perfumes and scented products crafted in Los Angeles, California (previously in Montreal, Canada). Each perfume and scented oil is created with high-quality, mixed-media ingredients, always conscious of sourcing as many biodegradable materials as possible, from their place of origin, as well as from ethical & reputable suppliers.

 

 ***
"Jazmin Saraï scents have the power of unlocking emotional scent parallels over vast geographies. So we end up sharing-loving-excited over the same ideals.
My experience of certain Jazmin Saraï scents is that they work as physical bodily translators, or linkages, a code-ring. These scents resonate deeply and make you connect more to YOU, dig up puzzle-pieces, they work as divining rods to find GOOD in you, fish up flowering energies, generosity. 
They are very borderless scents, porous, limitless, across times and landmass”

CULTURE





MEET DANA EL MASRI

(pronounced Daana ElMasree)
Dana is a perfumer (trained at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery), interdisciplinary artist, lecturer, award-winning fragrance writer, and storyteller.  Her depth and perception is inspired by the sights, scents and sounds of our current contemporary landscape as well as her deeply rooted Egyptian / Lebanese cultures.

She continually utilizes Jazmin Saraï as a platform to empower her community through representation and collaboration, while also educating her audience on issues of culture and identity, namely and most recently, since 2018, with her work on orientalism within perfumery. 
Her ultimate goal is to swap the euro-centric lens of perfumery with a multi-faceted, multicultural, flourishing universe of narratives. Bridging the gap between scent and cultural nuance, enlightening people on their own sense of smell.   She believes this will allow more people to gain unique and memorable olfactory experiences, which elicit raw emotions from deep within and trigger even deeper connections to the world around them. 
She served as a board member for several years and is currently a teacher at The Institute for Art & Olfaction. 
She was also a judge for the AO Awards for several years. She is also a cross-modal artist & collaborator, creating scents across applications for several unique and upscale brands, projects, and installations.

"I see scent as a gateway to raise awareness on the unappreciated and under-represented cultures of the past, present and future."
