Studied Properties

Jasmine Oil has a strong yet sweet, pleasing, and romantic fragrance with an uplifting effect.

It is most commonly created by absolute extraction of the flowers, a method using grain alcohol or hexane to extract the oils. This method is used when steam distillation would damage the delicate oils. 

It is also a very good antiseptic and disinfectant. Its constituents like benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, and benzyl benzoate have very effective germicidal, bactericidal, fungicidal, and antiviral properties.

It is also a relaxing oil making it helpful with insomnia and stress.

There are well over 100 constituents found in jasmine oil, but the main chemical components are benzyl acetate, linalool, benzyl alcohol, indole,  benzyl benzoate, cis-jasmone, geraniol, methyl anthranilate and trace amounts of p. cresol, farnesol, cis-3-hexenyl benzoate, eugenol, nerol, ceosol, benzoic acid, benzaldehyde, y-terpineol, nerolidol, isohytol and phytol.
