DEFINITION
Botanical name - Jasminum grandiflorum.
The oil is 3% solvent extracted absolute in a jojoba oil base.
DESCRIPTION
Cleopatra reputedly seduced Mark Antony by wearing this spellbinding oil to their business meetings. As Rose speaks of love, so Jasmine spells romance. This is undeniably one of the most exquisite and precious jewels in the Aromatherapy crown. Harem favourites once soaked in Jasmine scented baths to induce ecstasy.
Painstakingly extracted from the delicate white petals of the climbing creeper Jasminum grandiflorum, Jasmine is one of the world's most expensive and long-lasting essences. Over three hundred hand picked blossoms donate their fragrance to fill a 13ml bottle of this blend. This oil is a Middle to Base Note.
