Ancient Origin: Where Rose is known as the Queen of oils Jasmine is considered as the King of all oils and like Rose Jasmine is very expensive as it takes an enormous quantity of flowers to produce a relatively small amount of oil. In the case of Jasmine the flowers have to be gathered at night also increasing the labour costs. Many of the qualities of these two oils overlap and it is much associated with warming properties as well as the emotional and sexual areas

Source: Jasmine is native to China, northern India and western Asia. A concrete is first produced from the plant by solvent extraction, then an absolute is obtained from this by separation with alcohol, finally the oil is produced by steam distillation of the absolute. This process is mainly carried out in Italy, France, Morocco, Egypt, China, Japan, Algeria and Turkey. The main absolute oil is produced near Grasse in France
