Jasmine Enfleurage

Jasmine polyanthum 

Enfleurage extraction in Colombia using organically grown jasmine flowers.

This process doesn’t use an animal productions; it’s a modern Enfleurage. The fat is local, Colombian palm oil, sustainably and organically grown. The oil is then extracted using organic ethanol.

Soft, sweet, floral scent.  She is also known as "Pink Jasmine" from her pink buds, although like all species of Jasmine, the flowers are white. The flowers are highly aromatic. This jasmine is native to China and Myanmar. It’s a popular garden plant in southern California and across the southern United States, where it’s often found as a vine or climber.

Arctander writes about different jasmines but apparently only Jasmine officinalis?He doesn’t mention different species. He does talk about different extraction methods of obtaining absolute though, including one from chassis and one from pomade. Our jasmine is absolute made from pomade, but the species is Jasmine polyanthum.

He describes the process but I will not include the odor description here as it’s for a different species of Jasmine with a higher indole content—the oil smells exactly like the fresh jasmine flowers. Very floral and rich sweet, with very little indolic note but a green backdrop and a water-like green back-note.

This is as rare and very special oil, for jasmine flower lovers

of shimmering moon

a late stroll

lingering a moment

to smell the jasmine...
