Jasmine is native to China, Northern India and Western Asia, with
up to 42 species of Jasmine recorded in India alone.
The richness of our Jasmine Absolute cannot be overstated! We like this Jasmine grandiflorum for its combination of deep, intensely sweet floral notes and very smooth character.
Jasmine is an oil that brings a lightness and happy feeling to those who use it. Perhaps because it helps to dispel fear and guilt, Patricia Davis notes that Jasmine is the most important oil for those who want to spiritualize the intimate aspect of their relationships. |
Jasmine Absolute mixes well with most other essential oils and
is best diluted in a carrier oil or alcohol, or used in a blend of other oils.
Only a hint of this precious oil is needed to impart elegance, balance,
and smoothness to perfume creations.
JASMINE CO2 EXTRACT is extracted from the Jasmine concrete, rather
than the flowers themselves. The concrete is produced during the
first stage of creating Jasmine Absolute, then the oil from the
concrete is extracted using modern CO2 technology. The result is
a very viscous oil with an aroma that is lighter, more delicate
and more ethereal than the Jasmine absolute. Quite heavenly! However,
since Jasmine Grandiflorum CO2 is not completely liquid it is more
challenging to work with.
Jasmine Grandiflorum CO2 blends well in Jojoba oil but stays a bit
cloudy until settling out on the bottom of the bottle. Filtering
through coffee filters will then remove the sediment. In alcohol,
Jasmine Grandiflorum CO2 also becomes cloudy and then settles out
to the bottom. After filtering the alcohol tincture will be clear.
Surprisingly, Jasmine Grandiflorum CO2 is lasting longer on aroma strips than the Jasmine Absolute. It is a very lovely oil and recommended to all lovers of Jasmine. |
