Jasmine Absolute
Jasmine absolute is the proper name for pure jasmine essential
oil. In fact there is no true jasmine essential oil. The process
for creating an essential oil refers exclusively to a steam
extraction process. However the delicate jasmine flowers are
too fragile for this process, they would be completely destroyed.
The method that is used to make a jasmine absolute is called
the organic solvent extraction method. This method uses a
series of chemicals to extract the fragrance from the flowers.
This process is done at a low temperature, unlike with a lot
of essential oils, the fragrance of the oil is almost identical
to that of the flower. When making essentials, the high heat
can denature the end product, changing the scent of the oil
from the scent of the original flower, root, seed, or bark.
When making jasmine absolute, any variety of jasmine may
be used. There are 3 varieties that are available, with 2
of those varieties being most commonly used. Jasmine grandiflorum
is the lighter smelling, more feminine scent. This flower
blooms in the early morning and the scent is said to express
the scent of early morning. The second of the 2 most common
types of jasmine is jasmine sambac, which is also known as
Arabian jasmine. The flower looks a bit different, having
more petals than the jasmine grandiflorum plant and the scent
is also much more exotic and masculine. This is often the
variety that perfumers use when making cologne for men. There
is a third variety of jasmine flowers used to make jasmine
absolute, but it isn’t as well known as the others.
It is called jasmine auriculatum and it has an aroma that
is almost fruity. This variety of jasmine absolute is difficult
to find however, and if the jasmine absolute doesn’t
specify which variety it is, chances are that it is jasmine
grandiflorum.
Any variety of jasmine absolute can be used in a blend that
calls for jasmine. The variety you use may vary based on who
it is being blended for, such as using jasmine grandiflorum
for a blend for women and jasmine sambac for a blend for men.
The jasmine absolute can be used in the same ways that all
other essential oils can be used, such as in a diffuser, pure jasmine massage
oil, lotion or bath.
