Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil: Uses, Benefits, and Blends

The fragrance of the Orient is deep, narcotic, and entrancing; perhaps India, where we source VINEVIDA Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil, holds the folklore that reveals her the best.  An old tale tells how there was once a king whose laugh scattered jasmine flowers wherever he walked, and indeed a Sanskrit saying that goes “Where there is Jasmine, there can be no worries.” Jasmine, derived from the Arabic name Yasmin, meaning “Gift from God”, Grandiflorum, the greatest and most magnificent of all the flowers. At VINEVIDA, it gives us great delight to present you with our glorious, pure Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil.

To clarify, Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil is not an essential oil. It is an absolute obtained through solvent extraction from tiny white plants, too fragile to give up their volatiles in distillation.

Jasmine Essential Oil Benefits: Component Breakdown

• Benzyl acetate – This is the component that imparts some of the floral attributes to the fragrance. Breathe it and see if you can sense its apple-like contribution.
• Benzyl benzoate – Also found in Cinnamon and Ylang Ylang fragrances, this has a sense of warmth to it.
• Phytol- adds a grassiness to the aroma.
• Squalene & Squalene 2,3-oxide- Squalenes are very fatty molecules that can help to hydrate and add suppleness to tissues.
• Isophytol – Has a floral, herby-green aroma, and is a precursor to vitamin K.
• Phytyl acetate – Has a waxy, almost nutty fragrance.
• Linalool - A component appearing in many essential oils, clinical trials demonstrate linalool to have anti-inflammatory and anti-depressive properties.
• Geranyl linalool - Adds a warm rosiness to the fragrance.
• Indole, (Z)-Jasmone - Creates the trademark headiness and languor of Jasmine Grandiflorum.
• Estragole - Copiously available in many essential oils, estragole has powerful antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. It has been demonstrated to be anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory and can alleviate sciatica in rodent models. It seems likely most of the estragole’s action arises from its ability to calm excitement in the sodium channels of cells. However, there are concerns that estragole may also have carcinogenic properties and thus should only be used in small dilutions.

Initially, when an absolute is made from Jasmine Grandiflorum, a rich concrete is first

created, then it is processed into an absolute. As a night-time blossom, blooms need to be picked early in the morning before the sunrise steals the narcotic indole from the flowers.  Chemistry in the plant changes rapidly after picking, indole and benzyl acetate fall dramatically, whereas linalool, so well respected for its anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant properties, increases tenfold. 

Most exotic and enigmatic of all Aromatherapy treasures, must be our Queen of the Night, Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil, named because her fragrance engulfs the garden with such aromatic sorcery in the evening. When the bees have snuggled down for the night, Jasmine takes over from the Lavender and Roses, emitting a languid and heady fragrance enticing night-time pollinators, moths, and bats. 

Whilst she does have physical effects, Jasmine is most assuredly beloved for her uplifting, beguiling, and seductive charms. 

According to Battaglia, 1000kg of Jasmine flowers yields between 2.5 - 3.5 kg of concrete, and about half this amount is an absolute. So, if you are one of our wholesale customers who prefer to buy in bulk, a kilo bottle of our pure Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil is roughly that original number of blooms.

What Is Jasmine Essential Oil Good For? 

Shakespeare said: “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” But that’s unmistakably a rose oil question. To describe Jasmine Grandiflorum, it’s perhaps more appropriate to say: 

Meet me in the garden, under the moonlight, surrounded by heady alcohol and narcotics. Rest with me against the bower, where dreams drift on waveless seas. Journey with me to the place where all glistens with diamonds, and your limbs feel heavy like treacle. Sweet, mesmeric, laden with promise, and heavy with seduction and ardor. 

Breathe Jasmine and you are transported on magic carpets to harems and opium dens. Its fragrant molecules conjure sensuality, abandon, and debauchery. Tantalizing, bewitching, enthralling, just as the pollinators are irresistibly drawn towards sex, so are we.

Intriguingly, the science backs that up. A 2010 study from Japan monitored the effects on people after they had been massaged with Jasmine Oil. Their breathing rate increased, as did their blood oxygen saturation and systolic and diastolic blood pressures. The participants rated themselves as being more alert and less relaxed, supporting what Ayurvedic medicine has always said, that jasmine uplifts and relieves sadness. 

Indeed, Ayurveda claims that no less than 70 different conditions are treated by the flower. Most specifically though, many of its properties can be attributed to Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil’s relaxing, antispasmodic action.

Jasmine Grandiflorum and Sex

Naturally, treating stress with Essential Oils has many more nuances.

Jasmine most specifically combats fear and repressed worries. In a sexual dimension, this is clearly understood, with the oil being wonderful for helping people who suffer from performance anxiety or vulvodynia, for example, to relax. But the effects are far more wide-reaching, dissipating work-based or relationship tension between the mind and the muscles. Its ability to free us from inhibitions makes laughter easier, forcing us to take ourselves and life a lot less seriously. 

Is Jasmine Grandiforum Safe During Pregnancy?

Do not use it in pregnancy except in labor which has been confirmed as established. Its uterine contraction effect could expel the fetus. Indeed, it can be used to good effect during confirmed established labor to strengthen contractions and to help expel the placenta.

Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil Uses: For Wholesale Purposes

Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil Uses For Aromatherapists

Anytime you want to relax, seduce, or uplift, Jasmine is going to be your first choice. Clearly though, remember her name, she is Queen of the Night, not of sending your client back to the office in the afternoon! 

Ayurvedic medicine has always used Jasmine specifically for its affinity with pitta dosha. Issues with pitta dosha include hot, reactive, irritated skin. Traditionally, jasmine is used to guard against scarring so is often preferred for teenage boys’ spotty skins, because it smells more masculine and animalistic than Lavender, and again, aggressive volatile outbursts are also very much pitta issues.

Sharp tempers, problems with acidic and reactive digestion, sassy argumentative tongues all fall under pitta imbalance and Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil would be indicated in any or all.

Understanding How to Use Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil

A good guideline to understanding the pitta/Jasmine relationship is to imagine a young English rose having been taken to India in the Raj. Her pale skin burns in the blazing sun, and her gentle constitution, so used to porridge and boiled eggs suddenly gets subjected to vindaloo, she gets irritated by the flies and the sheer noise and color of the place and begins to shout at her servants.

To soften any one of these, an aromatherapist might choose Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil.

But her initiation into womanhood becomes the story of great novels. As she sightsees, she might be offered a garland of Jasmine to wear around her neck and then becomes intoxicated by the overt nature of the overwhelming tantric sexuality she sees everywhere. In books, the imagery is uninhibited and erotic, and even couples carved into temple walls greet her everywhere. Life becomes fully and romantically charged with subtext.

Such is the world of Jasmine...

On that note, the effects of Jasmine Oil can be stifling, even nauseating. One drop at a time and sniff the blend at every stage. Clearly though, for topical applications, as stated

below, please stay within the IFRA guidelines of 0.7% maximum dilution.

One particular concern of note is that another use in Ayurveda and aromatherapy is as a womb tonic, especially for increasing the strength of contractions in early established labor. For this reason: Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil is contraindicated for use during the first 37 weeks of pregnancy.

Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil Uses for Candlemakers

If I need to spell that out to you now, you need to give up the day job! 

White candles and Jasmine for romance. Red ones paired with red roses, that’s a night to remember always.

Jasmine Grandiflorum Oil Benefits for Natural Perfumery

Jasmine plays a key role not only in exotic and romantic floral blends but also in oriental and chypre perfumes. 

Amongst the classics is Joy by Jean Patou. Joy was introduced to the market in 1930. Here, Jasmine is paired with May Rose for the heart notes, sitting under the light Rose, Tuberose, and

Ylang-Ylang, then supported by Musk and Sandalwood base notes. If you thought Jasmine was brazen on her own, this one is a complete hussy, and yet, achingly beautiful, elegant, and classy. 

If you like a lighter fragrance that might not be so costly to emulate, you might be inspired by Dior’s Jasmin des Anges where its beauty is paired with light, summertime citruses, or just as lovely as Jo Malone’s Jasmine and Mint. 

Remember though, in all cases only start with one drop and add a drop at a time. It’s all too easy to suffocate a blend with Jasmine.
