Grandi Concrete & Absolute

GRANDI CONCRETE & ABSOLUTE

 

Botanical Name: Jasminum grandiflorum

Benefits and Uses: Perfumery, Aromatherapy, Traditional Medicine, Cosmetics, Culinary, Symbolism, Gardening

Jasmine, with its roots in China, northern India, and western Asia, boasts as many as 43 unique species in India alone. Our floral extract of Jasmine, often referred to as the ‘King of Flowers’, is sourced from India and is seen as the quintessence of floral essences. Jasmine Grandiflorum Concrete is produced through the solvent extraction of Jasminum Grandiflorum L. flowers.

This Concrete is then subjected to additional solvent extraction to yield Jasmine Grandiflorum Absolute. It’s fascinating to note that it requires thousands of meticulously hand-picked blossoms to generate a few grams of pure Jasmine Concretes and Absolutes. A mere hint of this valuable extract suffices to bestow elegance, balance, and smoothness to perfumes. It blends well with nearly all other essences and, owing to its powerful aroma, it is best diluted in a carrier – either oil or alcohol – before being combined with other oils.

While Jasminum grandiflorum has a long history of use in various cultures, it's essential to use it with caution and consult with a healthcare professional before using it for medicinal purposes, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
