The most fragrant flower in India, harvested in Madurai where jasmine is woven into garlands, offered at temples, and worn in hair. Even dried, mogra retains its sweet, heady scent — open the pouch and the room changes. The buds are harvested closed, just before opening, when the essential oils are most concentrated.
