๐ธ Jasmine Oil: The Flower of Radiance & Relaxation
INCI Name: Jasminum grandiflorum (Jasmine) Oil / Jasminum sambac (Jasmine Sambac)ย
๐ Origins & Cultivation
Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum & Jasminum sambac) is native to India, Egypt, and the Mediterranean, where it has been cultivated for centuries for its intensely fragrant flowers. This exquisite night-blooming flower is often called the "Queen of the Night" due to its captivating aroma and romantic symbolism.
Jasmine oil is one of the most precious essential oils, requiring thousands of delicate flowers to produce just a few millilitres of oil. The flowers are hand-harvested at dawn, when their fragrance is at its peak, and are carefully extracted to preserve their rich, floral scent.
๐ A Look Back in History
"The Scent of Love & Royalty"
Jasmine has been treasured since ancient times, often associated with love, beauty, and spiritual awakening.
- In India, Jasmine flowers were used in wedding ceremonies and ayurvedic beauty rituals to enhance feminine energy and emotional well-being.
- Egyptian queens and Persian royalty were known to bathe in Jasmine-infused oils to soften the skin and uplift the spirit.
- The famous Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal, adorned his gardens with Jasmine to symbolize eternal love and devotion.
Today, Jasmine oil remains a symbol of beauty and sensuality, widely used in luxury perfumes, skincare, and emotional well-being blends.
๐ฌ Common Extraction Methods
Jasmine essential oil is extracted using solvent extraction or CO2 extraction from the fresh flowers. Unlike steam distillation, these methods preserve the delicate floral aroma without damaging the flowersโ precious aromatic compounds.
- ๐ธ Flowers are handpicked at dawn, ensuring their maximum fragrance.
- ๐จ Solvent or CO2 extraction gently removes the essential oil, capturing its full floral complexity.
- โ The oil is carefully stored, preserving its luxurious, intoxicating scent.
This process results in an ultra-premium essential oil that is deeply hydrating, emotionally uplifting, and highly sought-after.
๐ฟ Sensory Experience
- Aroma: Rich, sweet, floral, with warm, exotic undertones.
- Texture: Light and silky.
- Absorption: Absorbs quickly, leaving the skin soft and nourished.
