Jasmine Essential Oil 10 ml

Flowers picked at dawn, before the sun has a chance to evaporate their scent. That is exactly why jasmine is so expensive.

Jasmine cannot be rushed. The flowers have to be picked by hand — early in the morning, when the concentration of essential oils is at its highest, before the warmth of the day starts to evaporate them. It can take several million individual flowers to produce a single kilogram of oil. That is why authentic jasmine is one of the most expensive oils in aromatherapy — and why so many “jasmine” products on the market are synthetic imitations.

In Ayurveda it is known as Chameli or Jati — the “queen of Indian flowers” — and is mentioned in Ayurvedic texts as a herb with cooling and harmonizing properties, especially effective for excess Pitta in the head: irritability, anxiety and emotional “overheating”. It belongs to a very small group of tridoshic oils — it balances Vata, Pitta and Kapha at the same time. Traditionally used for postpartum depression, sexual problems and insomnia, and as an ingredient in the most precious Indian attars — perfumes with a sandalwood base.

A pilot study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2018) showed that inhaling jasmine oil reduced cortisol levels by 12% compared with placebo. The effect of the scent itself is even simpler: jasmine is one of those scents that make it hard to stay sad.

Scent profile

Ayurvedic context — Dosha

Tridoshic — one of the few oils that are safe and beneficial for every constitution type. Carrier oil: jojoba or almond.

Diffuser / mood and sensuality
2–3 drops in water — the scent is intense. Classic blend for a romantic evening: jasmine + sandalwood (2+3 drops). For deep relaxation and calm: jasmine + lavender (2+3 drops). For joy and lightness: jasmine + bergamot (2+3 drops).

Massage / relaxation and emotional balance
8–10 drops per 25 ml of carrier oil (jojoba or almond — both are excellent carriers for jasmine). Massage the whole body, or the décolleté and shoulders, in times of emotional tension, depression and exhaustion. In Ayurveda, jasmine is used in abhyanga — a ritual full-body massage — as an ingredient that harmonizes Pitta.

Bath / evening ritual
Mix 5–6 drops with a spoonful of carrier oil and pour into warm water. A jasmine bath is one of the more profound evening rituals — sensual, relaxing and preparing you for sleep or intimacy.

As a perfume
1–2 drops diluted in carrier oil (jojoba) on the wrists, neck and behind the ears. Jasmine is a classic heart and base note in luxury perfumes — long-lasting, deep and unfolding on the skin all night long.

Skin care
2–3 drops per 30 ml of carrier oil (jojoba or argan). Jasmine has documented moisturizing, regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties — it is used for dry, mature and sensitive skin.
