Latin Name: Jasminum grandiflorum
Country of Origin: India
Cultivation Method: Harvested from Wild Growing Plants
Extraction Method: Solvent Extracted

Aroma: Floral, rich, sweet and warm, exquisitely exotic and graceful. Some describe it as"tea-like", and its dried flowers are used to flavor black tea.
Jasmine is called the King of Flowers (Rose being the Queen), and indeed this is probably the most masculine of all the floral aromas, especially the Jasmine Sambac, which is more musky, spicy, mysterious and exotic than the Jasmine grandiflorium. Jasmine grandiflorium is softer, more gentle and floral.
Consistency: Slightly viscous liquid. |

Most oils. Very suitable to make an aroma more round and complete.

Lavender and Geranium, Frankincense and Clary Sage. |
| History: |
It takes 8,000 carefully hand-picked blossoms to produce 1 gram (about 1 ml.) of Jasmine Absolute. Flowers are picked in the early hours of dawn as they are unfolding, and attention has to be paid not to bruise or mishandle the flowers, since that would compromise the aroma. |
| Specific Safety Information: |
No known toxicity. Make sure you are not overdosing, since Jasmine is very strong and easily overpowering. GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) approved by the FDA as food flavor. Occasional skin sensitivity reported, do patch test first. |
