Being of high value, jasmine scent excited the interest of chemists at a very early stage. Between 1899 and 1904, Albert Hesse and Friedrich Muller identified more than 70 % by mass of the scented components, including the floral-scented benzyl alcohol, its acetate and benzoate esters, and the lavender perfume, linalool. The characteristic scent of jasmine, however, could not be completely explained (Fig. 3.20).
