Have you ever inhaled the incredible strong flower power of Jasmine? Surely you must have noticed this specific odor as you passed by; for it’s a unique fragrance that can’t be missed! Jasminum officinale, known as the common jasmine or simply jasmine, is a flowering plant species that originates from the olive tree family Oleaceae. Jasmine is widely cultivated in many places around the world also known as Summer jasmine, Poet’s jasmine, White jasmine, True jasmine or Jessamine.
Jasmine is particularly valued by gardeners throughout the world for their intense fragrance throughout summer. Jasminum officinale is a vigorous, twining, bright climber with sharp-pointed leaves and clusters of starry, pure, white flowers. Jasminum officinale is so ancient in cultivation that it’s country of origin is not known. Though it is speculated it originated in Central Asia, it is not certain. For centuries jasmine oil has been extracted and used as a lovely scenting ingredient to create perfume.
Perfume Composers
It is an art to make perfume! Moreover there is an incredible amount of work involved. Just one little bottle of perfume can be a mixture of 30, 50, or even 100 different ingredients. However, creating such a fusion is not easy. It’s not just a matter of mixing some nice smelling ingredients together. Not even close…
A master perfumer can be compared to a musical composer; one who meditates about a certain melody or particular theme and right before writing down the various notes on paper, hears all these notes separately in his head.
In a similar way the master perfumer has the tones of the ingredients in his mind before writing them down. Like a recipe and finally experimenting with this in his laboratory. Being acutely aware of each singular ingredient as well as their individual characteristics, the master perfumer must also be capable of mixing these in their exact manners. Not only that, he must also understand how one extracted scent influences the other. Do they compliment, strengthen or reduce their qualities? And in which exact dosage? It certainly takes a very talented Parfumeur to compose a beautiful perfume!

Jasminium Officinalis Oil
The essential oil of Jasminum officinale is also widely used in aromatherapy. Jasmine absolute is known as the ‘King of Oils’, and it’s heavy, sweet scent is loved by many people. The flowers release their perfume at dusk so the blossoms are picked at night to obtain a tiny amount of oil by solvent extraction. The result is an expensive but concentrated oil.
