Harshingar (Parijat) Essential Oil

Exquisite. Sacred. Restorative.

Our Harshingar Essential Oil—also known as Parijat or Night-Flowering Jasmine—is organically crafted and steam distilled from the delicate, star-shaped blossoms of the Nyctanthes arbor-tristis tree, native to the lush regions of South and Southeast Asia. Revered in Ayurveda and deeply woven into Indian cultural heritage, these fragrant white-orange blooms open at night, releasing a divine honeyed aroma before gracefully falling to the earth by morning.

With its unique nocturnal bloom and soft, luminous scent, Parijat is celebrated not only for its heavenly fragrance, but also for its powerful medicinal, skin-nourishing, and emotional healing properties.

Botanical Insight

Known as the “Tree of Sorrow” for the transience of its blossoms, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis literally translates to “sad tree”—yet its healing gifts are anything but melancholic. Every part of this sacred tree—flowers, leaves, bark, seeds—has been used in traditional healing for thousands of years.
