JASMINUM GRANDIFLORUM FLOWER EXTRACT
Jasmine
Warm, Floral and Alluring
BACKGROUND
The jasmine flower comes from the Oleaceae plant family and is thought of as one of nature's aphrodisiacs because of its seductive scent. The flower's harvest is typically performed at night (or before the sun rises) when the white blossoms are at their most fragrant. Jasmine appropriately has the nickname "Queen of the Night"!
EXTRACTION METHOD
The essential oil from Jasmine is produced via solvent extraction because the small white flowers are so delicate. The essential oil is quite expensive as it takes a lot of flowers to make very little oil.
SCENT NOTE
Jasmine is a Middle Base note. Its aromatic profile is warm and floral, blends beautifully with the Bergamot, Cedarwood, and Ylang Ylang essential oils found in Evening Body Serum and Evening Aromatherapy Candle.
CANANGA ODORATA FLOWER OIL
Ylang ylang
Floral, Sweet and Sultry
Ylang ylang essential oil found in Evening Body Serum and Evening Aromatherapy Candle was intentionally chosen because of its warm, sweet floral scent, a welcome distraction from a frazzled mind.
EXTRACTION METHOD
Ylang ylang is steam and water distilled in stages called fractions from the beautiful flowers of the large, tropical ylang ylang tree to obtain its essential oil.
SCENT NOTE
As a Middle Base note (along with Cedarwood, Jasmine and, Palo Santo), ylang ylang brings depth and stability. Its aromatic profile, floral, sweet, sensual, and faintly musky, is beautiful against the Bergamot, Cardamom, Cedarwood, Jasmine, and Yuzu essential oils found in our serum and candle.
“What the eye sees is not a remedy; when distillation has transformed the plant, then the remedy becomes apparent.
