Jasmine Grandiflora

Jasmine Grandiflorum Absolute is a rich, sweet, warm and deeply floral aromatic extract obtained from the flowers of Jasminum grandiflorum, the Spanish or royal jasmine. Known in India as chameli, it is one of the most precious materials in fine perfumery and is also used in attars, luxury cosmetics and aromatherapy.

Arizone International supplies Jasmine Grandiflorum absolute, concrete and attar for perfumers, attar makers, luxury cosmetic brands and aromatherapy companies.

India's Jasmine Heritage

India is one of the world's leading producers of jasmine flowers and jasmine extracts. Jasmine grandiflorum is grown mainly in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, and the Madurai and Coimbatore regions are famous for their jasmine gardens. The flowers are picked by hand early in the morning, before sunrise, when their scent is strongest. Egypt, Morocco and Italy are also important producers.

Jasmine is known as the "queen of the night" in Indian tradition, and it is used in garlands, hair decorations (gajra), weddings and temple offerings.

How Jasmine Absolute Is Made

Jasmine flowers are too delicate for steam distillation. Instead, the fresh flowers are extracted with a food-grade solvent such as hexane, producing a waxy material called concrete. The concrete is then washed with alcohol, which is later removed, to produce the absolute. It takes several million flowers, roughly 700 to 1,000 kg, to make about 1 kg of absolute, which is why jasmine is so costly.
