- Product Background
A mythical flower in perfumery, its beauty is equal only to its fragility: to preserve their fragrant properties, jasmine flowers must be harvested by hand before daybreak. The flower is unable to withstand distillation, or any heat, and used to be processed by means of cold enfleurage, releasing its unique aroma into a mix of fats. This very time-consuming technique was slowly replaced by solvent-based extraction methods, which capture some of the aroma, along with other elements such as waxes and pigments. The result is then washed to rid it of these compounds, leaving only the scented part, the absolute. Up until the 1930s, Grasse was the main region for Jasmin Grandiflorum production. Although the area continues to produce its own regional variety of the flower, production now takes place almost entirely in Egypt and India.
