Mogra

A variety of Jasmine, known as ‘hammer double jasmine’ originated in India. It has a pearly white flower with waxy petals that produce a strong fragrance. Other than its sweet fragrance, it is also known for its tea, giving it the name “Arabian Tea Jasmine”.

The flowers give off a sweet, creamy and leafy fragrance similar to that of Jasmine, only stronger. It is used in rituals and ceremonies in several cultures in Asia. Mogra is a natural antiseptic that can accelerate the healing of scars and blemishes. It is known to help people with dry and sensitive skin and reduce signs of ageing.
