For centuries, flowers have been a unique part of cultures, especially Indian culture and tradition, from medicinal properties to fragrance to a symbol of love and beauty. The diverse growing conditions in India make it home to a wide variety of flowering plants. Here we describe jasmine oil and how it is used as an ingredient in the creation of world-class perfumes.
Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is widely known as a symbol of love and beauty and is found in various parts of India. It is often used in garlands at weddings and even in garlands honoring gods. Jasmine in India is believed to have 300 sub-categories with local names such as Mogra, Motia, Chameli, Malli pu.
Is Jasmine Essential Oil and Jasmine Absolute the same?
When looking for aromatic jasmine plant parts for making products, we are often confused with the terms jasmine essential oils and jasmine absolutes. Let us describe them one by one.
First, essential oils are liquid oils extracted from plant parts by steam distillation and have lighter molecules that are naturally volatile and very aromatic. In comparison, absolutes are usually obtained by solvent extraction and the resulting product has heavier molecules with aromatic components that make it perfect for perfumery use.
What makes India one of the best producers of jasmine absolutes?
It is quite simple, the conditions.
India is privileged to have diverse and sufficiently favorable climatic conditions for flower cultivation and affordable labor for growing these plants. The biggest advantage is that these flowers require much less land and water for production.
In India, jasmine is grown throughout the country, but commercial cultivation is limited to places such as Coimbatore, Madurai and Dindigul (Tamil Nadu); Bangalore, Bellary, Mysore and Kolar (Karnataka); Kannauj, Jaunpur and Gazipur (Uttar Pradesh). Udaipur, Jaipur, Ajmer and Kota (Rajasthan); Ranaghat, Kolaghat, Pancskura (West Bengal); parts of Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.
What benefits does Jasmin Absolute have in Fragrance & Cosmetics Industry?
The benefits of Jasmine Absolute can be seen in the application of multi-purpose products in various industries. Two of the most important industries that use the benefits of Jasmine Absolute are:
Perfumery:
Deep, exotic jasmine is an excellent choice for adding rich fragrance to luxurious compositions. A unique olfactory diamond, jasmine offers a number of facets to the perfumer. Jasmine is usually the heart note of a perfume. It adds roundness, roundness or flesh to the perfume. Classically, it is often associated with the rose: Liu by Guerlain, N°5 by Chanel, Joy originel by Patou, 24 Faubourg by Hermès, Alien by Mugler, Organza by Givenchy, J'adore by Dior, Jasmin Noir by Bvlgari...
Cosmetics:
In the cosmetic world, Jasmine Absolute is known for its moisturizing properties and its ability to even out skin tone and give a radiant complexion. It is a wonderful addition to rejuvenating formulations for a vibrant, energized look.
Why are absolutes preferred to essential oils in perfumery?
Absolutes are extracted by a different process than essential oils and have a stronger scent than essential oils with a fresher smell that is closest to the plant material, making them most suitable for perfumery. The only drawback is that traces of solvents must be removed after solvent extraction before they can be used in perfumery.
Jasmine Absolute Extraction Process
The delicate, star-shaped flowers of this night-blooming plant are too delicate for steam distillation. The extraction process requires diluting the flowers in a solvent, resulting in an "absolute" essential oil. In addition to its aphrodisiac properties, jasmine is a fantastic nourishing oil.
Jasmine Absolute is obtained by solvent extraction of the petals. It has an intense floral character and produces a musky, masculine scent. Jasmine absolute is known to round out other essences in perfumery and is widely used in perfumery, sometimes referred to as the king ingredient of perfume
Why is Jasmine Absolute Oil so expensive?
Jasmine is an absolute. It is so delicate that it cannot be properly extracted by distillation. Another reason for the higher price is the unavailability of the jasmine absolute plant and the amount of labor required to produce it. We should use these oils sparingly, not because they are expensive, but because the earth has made a great sacrifice to give them to us.
With such a delicate bloom, how can growers preserve the delightful fragrance of Jasmine Absolute?
One of our farmers explains that harvesting in the early hours of the morning, when it is still dark and the buds are still closed, ensures that the fragrance and the jasmine flower remain intact during transport for extraction.
There are over 50 thousand hectares of jasmine in the region, but only about 5% of that is used to extract the wonderful absolute jasmine that is so prized.
At Innoveo Exports, we strive to source these classic jasmine absolutes directly from farmers in the old towns and small producers in these regions.
