About Jataí

Jataí is a perfume material derived from the honey produced by the Jataí bee (Tetragonisca angustula), a stingless bee native to Brazil. Unlike honey from common honeybees, Jataí honey has a distinctive acidic and floral aroma, with a unique flavor and scent profile. In perfumery, an accord recreating the scent of this honey is used.

Scent Profile

The scent of Jataí is a complex profile of sweet, floral honey with subtle acidic and earthy nuances. The top notes reveal a light floral character, which evolves into the sweetness of honey and an animalic warmth over time.

Use in Perfumery

Jataí is primarily used to enhance honey and animalic notes. It can be combined with floral or woody notes to add depth and sensuality. In oriental and gourmand fragrances, it provides a unique sweetness and complexity.
