I fondly recall that Donovan got lapis lazuli into a song.
But wait there's more! Jasmine ...
Joe Bean's Theme
Long and lazy schooner
In lapis lazuli
Aquamarina
In a southern sea
Soft and sensual sunset
Sommerset Maugham funset
The warm breeze of evening
Caresses silk dresses
The lazy leaning lady's languid way
The lovely leading lady in our play
Soft eyed and always thirty
Jasmine fills the air
The lovely leaning lady's languid way
The lovely leading lady in our play
Soft eyed and always thirty
Jasmine fills the air
When I hear astrud
Jasmine fills the air
When I hear astrud
Jasmine fills the air
When I hear astrud
Jasmine fills the air

Jasmine filling the air is a real entity
I remember the first time smelling jasmine incense - magic
Sleeping under star jasmine bushes in California
Tasting fine jasmine teas
Jasmines remains a star performer in perfume
For summer, I have a spray bottle in the refrigerator containing jasmine tea and rose water to spritz on
