Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hi Jane, I use jasmine solutes regularly, both jasmine grandiflorum and jasmine sambac. Generally 1 to 3 drops is ample in a blend. Jasmine is a strong absolute in either form. They both have different scents though so they are not necessarily interchangable in a blend because it will change the overall scent you have come up with. Drop me a line off list and help you with the jasmine. Bill Seraphim's Touch http://store.seraphimstouch.com Essential Oils, r Oils, Lotions, Body Butters and Bath Salts.

I add it to several products, and one drop in a 12ml bottle of a pure oil blend and there is a noticeable difference. One drop into 250ml of lotion and you can tell it is there. > > Does anyone know of a supplier where maybe a bunch of us could get > together and do a Jasmine EO co-op or fast buy? It's not as expensive as you might think - although I wouldn't put it in soap! Even buying it in 17ml bottles (which is as far as my budget stretched last month), it only calculates to around 50c per drop (that's Australian, about 35-40c US per drop). Considering I only need to add one drop per product, that's not that hard to recover in the cost of the end product. This month I have to buy both rose and neroli absolute... yikes! love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you buy make VERY sure to get samples...I've had so called pure jasmine grand from a well known supplier that was no stronger aromatically than our 10% dilution... needless to say, with that particular jasmine, you would have had to use a LOT more than of some others. If there is interest in a coop, I just brought in a kilo of sambac and a kilo of grand from india...if someone wants to organize a coop, I can quote a good price on a lb of it. and of course we always are glad to send samples.
