            Jasmine Premium absolute has an intense aroma. It is strong enough to still be potent when diluted to 10%. To reduce cost it is diluted with refined jojoba oil. Refined jojoba oil has nearly all of its scent removed to allow the full aroma of jasmine to come through without being altered by the scent of a carrier oil.
Jojoba is also one of the longer lasting carrier oils that will stay on the skin.
            Jasmine is one of the most desired and beautiful aromas. In India it is known as Queen of the night because it is at that time when it releases the most powerful aroma. Jasmine sambac blooms late evenings while grandiflorum releases its aroma predawn. It is during these late night hours when the flowers are hand selected and it takes as much as 8000 flowers to produce just 1 ml of oil.
            Jasmine sambac normally comes from southern India and is a bit muskier/masculine than Jasmine grandiflorum but both have a long history in religious ceremonies and adornment. Reputed benefits include Antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic and sedative qualities but perhaps best known as an aphrodisiac. It is more masculine than other floral aromas making it useful for both perfumes and colognes. It is widely used in modern perfumery and has a lasting tenacity that is useful in sensual perfumes and romantic blends.
           Jasmine has a comforting sweetness that is stimulating and relaxing to the mind. It is thought to quiet stress, anxiety, depression and release fear and inhibitions.
Jasmine sambac has less risk of skin sensitivity so more powerful formulations of up to 4% are possible.

Jasmine premium absolute is widely used in perfumery as a fixative to hold aromas in a blend for extended s=duration and for its pleasant sweet floral scent.
