Jasmine Essential Oil  

Jasmine essential oil is one of the most luxurious and cherished oils in aromatherapy and perfumery — often called the “King of Oils” for its rich, romantic fragrance. Let’s explore it in depth:

What is Jasmine Essential Oil

• Extracted from the delicate white flowers of the Jasminum species (most commonly Jasminum grandiflorum or Jasminum sambac).
• True jasmine oil is obtained through solvent extraction or CO₂ extraction, not steam distillation, because the flowers are too fragile.
• The pure extract is called Jasmine Absolute, which is what most people mean when they say “jasmine essential oil.”

Aroma Profile

• Sweet, exotic, floral, and warm
• Rich, sensual, and uplifting — often used in luxury perfumes
• Blends beautifully with:
• Florals (rose, neroli, ylang-ylang)
• Citrus (bergamot, mandarin, sweet orange)
• Woods/resins (sandalwood, frankincense)
