Description
This stamp celebrates Arabian Jasmine (known locally as Full), an iconic flower that occupies a sacred place in the soul and cultural landscape of Tunisia. The delicate illustration by Jalal Ben Abdallah enhances this flower whose sweet fragrance accompanies summer evenings and traditional celebrations, establishing itself as a universal symbol of purity, elegance and hospitality.

Beyond its simple botanical classification, jasmine embodies Tunisian identity itself — a sweetness of life and refinement anchored in a centuries-old Mediterranean heritage. By devoting this program to the national flora, the Republic promotes a precious sensory and intangible heritage. This stamp transforms a modest flowering branch into a true ambassador of Tunisian delicacy, recalling that the beauty of nature is an essential pillar of the memory and pride of a nation.
