Jasmine - the origin

The delicate white flowers with their subtle smell remains an ever- prized accessory. From its infusion into green tea to the inclusion of its oil in grooming products. The floral scent mesmerizes one's senses. The plant with its small dark green leaves speckled with starry white flowers is a delightful spectacle itself.

The word jasmine  has a Persian origin. It means gift from God. That is why the use of jasmine flowers in religious and cultural events is common in many parts of the world. The rich and delectable smell symbolizes love, peace, and modesty. Another name for the flower is Queen of night. It is because the flower yields its full odor at night after the day’s heat has simmered down.

The petite shrub belongs to the olive family. With more than 200 species, it comes in all shapes and sizes. There are deciduous and evergreen varieties. Then there are poisonous and non-poisonous types as well. Found in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia and Europe.  The plant's home ground remains southern and southeast Asia. These regions house a diversity of this plant. 

The floral shrub originated in the Himalayas in western China. Europe got introduced to the Jasmine plant in the 16^th century. After that, France, Spain, Japan, Morocco, and Turkey cultivated it on a commercial level.

 

Why Jasmine fragrance is expensive?

Some varieties are not expensive and are easily available. Aromatic products like candles, soaps incorporate their sweet smell. The essential oil used in the perfume industry is exclusive and expensive. So is the plant product used for aromatherapy.  

 Jasmine flowers are very delicate. To preserve their fragrance, they are hand-picked by experienced workers. The picking starts at night-time or the buds are collected early in the morning. This is to save the nectar from busy bees and insects. The buds are selected according to their size, firmness, and color.  The green young buds are left. Fresh buds and large flowers that yield the strongest smell are preferred. After a diligent pick, the flowers get processed soon after to yield the rich and heady character oil.

The painstaking task of oil extraction is one of the many reasons for its expensive nature.  8000 fresh flowers yield a gram or a milliliter of this sweet-smelling absolute.

Then the oil used in perfumery is quite distinct. One of the premium variety includes that of Royal Jasmine.  Also known as Catalonian or Spanish, it comes from Jasminum grandiflorum. Another Jasmine absolute comes from the Jasminum officinale version of the plant. It is also called ‘poets jasmine’ and is one of the most fragrant varieties. Jasminum Sambac is known as Tuscan or Arabian. With different names, the pearl-white flowers never fail to amuse our noses.

The absolute essential oil fetches a higher price. Usually combined with other notes as an accord or they may be singular note. It blends particularly well with citrus oils, bergamot, rose and sandalwood. Whatever the case, jasmine fragrances are worth every penny. Why? Because, there is no smell worse than cheap fake ingredients. Perfumes containing jasmine absolute smell nice with lasting effects. 

This is one oil that has smooth relaxing effects on the wearer. Known for its anxiety-relieving properties, the oil works wonders  for your skin as well. It improves skin tone and softens the texture. It helps ease away scars, marks, and blemishes. The essential oil of jasmine has added upshots besides its use in perfumes. Some of these include:

The base note gets influenced by the predecessor middle note. That is why the designers at work carefully select the notes to pair up in a jasmine fragrance. The accompaniment of floral notes maybe fruity or spicy. Together, the different notes must make an accord where one note makes space for others. The combination of a base note, middle note, and the top note results in a perfume's aroma. It changes with subtle effects the longer it stays on your skin. Yet it should be signature to your style.
