This Jasmine Absolute is a simply intoxicating oil produced from jasmine blossoms; 1000 pounds of blossoms (about 3.6 million fresh blossoms) produce one pound of Jasmine oil. The blossoms are collected before sunrise, and handled with care to preserve their delicate scent.

A recent customer had this to say about ordering our Jasmine: "Extremely quick in delivery and efficient. I was shocked at how quickly they got here! I ordered jojoba oil and jasmine essential oil, and the quality was superb. Highly recommended - I will most certainly be back!"

Jasmine is native to India and Western Asia. There are many species of Jasmine, up to 42 species have been recorded in India alone. We like the grandiflorum for its combination of floral, deep notes and smooth character. (If you are interested in a lighter, sweeter Jasmine, try the Sambac variety.) This Jasmine absolute is an orange-brown, viscous liquid with an intensely rich, warm, floral scent and 'tea-like' undertone. It is an oil that brings a lightness and happy feeling to those who use it.

This is an expensive oil and is very potent. It is best to dilute before using; a little will go a long way. We like jojoba oil as a carrier for a true Jasmine essential oil perfume, or used in a blend of other oils. As a minor component it mixes well with most other oils, though we find it should be measured drop by drop, as Jasmine can easily overpower other aromas.

Jasmine has been nicknamed 'Queen of the Night' and 'Moonlight of the Grove'; for centuries, women have treasured it for its seductive, beautiful fragrance. Jasmine oil is uplifting and stimulating for times of hopelessness and nervous exhaustion. It helps reduce anxiety and apathy, and can increase excitability when worn as a perfume.

Jasmine oil may be beneficial for dry, greasy, or oily skin. It may help with eczema when caused by stress, frigidity, labor pains, laryngitis, lethargy, menstrual pain and problems.
