Literary notes about JASMINE (AI summary)
In literature, jasmine is not solely a scent or a name but also functions as a delicate, evocative color that enriches visual descriptions. Writers have employed terms like “Yellow Jasmine” in contexts such as tinctures and blooming landscapes to suggest a soft, luminous hue that recalls both warmth and subtlety ([1], [2]).

Moreover, contrasts like “white jasmine” further emphasize this color’s ethereal quality, merging the sensory realms of sight and scent to create a rich, multisensory atmosphere ([5], [6]).
