Jasmine Absolute can be produced in two main ways by alcohol extraction from the concrete or by alcohol extraction from the trays of fat used in enfleurage. The latter process has become impractical & uneconomic so most absolutes are now produced from concretes. This intensely floral oil is dark orange in colour & somewhat viscous but very little is required to add the characteristic odour to any blend. For a wonderfully luxurious massage oil blend 1 drop of Jasmine 1 drop of Sandalwood & 3 drops of Mandarin in 10ml of Peach Kernel oil. Try blending 1 drop of Jasmine & 1 drop of Neroli in 20ml of Coconut oil & dab a small amount on the wrists as an alternative to perfume. Do not use in the first four months of pregnancy.
