Jasmine – γιασεμί

jasmine
On a hot evening near the beach in Vouliagmeni, I walked out on our back patio to be engulfed with a deliciously sweet smell.  I was nine years old at the time. I quickly went inside and pulled my mom outside, “Smell,” I said.  I watched as she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, “Jasmine,” she replied.  

I’m reminded of that experience every time I smell Jasmine. During the summers, I smell Jasmine outside my parents’ house and outside the building I work in – and I love it! But something is different in Greece; perhaps it’s the heat or the soil.   The scent is enriched and reaches into the soul.  

A friend recently gave me Korres Jasmine Showergel and it brought me back to that place.

Don’t forget to stop and smell the Jasmine when you’re in Greece!
