Description
Day blooming Royal Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum) and night blooming Arabian Jasmine (Jasminum sambac) are the two main species used to make Jasmine Absolute; while both possess an intense floral character, the night blooming variety produces a muskier, more masculine scent.
While rooted in traditional French production techniques, most Jasmine Absolute now comes from Egypt, India, and Morocco.
Used in aromatherapy, Jasmine Absolute is known to impart a relaxed, sensual mood and is believed to be an aphrodisiac.
