The fragrance emitted by the flower is so unique that it cannot be compared to anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, jasmine is said to be used as a key ingredient in 83% of high-end women&#039;s perfumes worldwide, and in 33% of men&#039;s perfumes.

However, enfleurage is labor-intensive and expensive, so it is rarely used commercially today.<\/p>\n<h3>Solvent extraction method<\/h3>\n<p>In the modern perfume industry, jasmine is primarily produced using solvent extraction. Petals are placed in a sealed container, and a volatile solvent such as hexane is circulated to dissolve the fragrance components. When the solvent evaporates, a semi-solid substance called concrete remains.<\/p>\n<p>If this concrete is treated again with ethanol, the wax components are separated, and a highly concentrated fragrance called absolute is produced. According to Jean-Claude Ellena, as many as 600 kg of flowers are required to obtain 1 kg of jasmine absolute.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tip-box\">\n<p>Recently <strong>Supercritical CO2 extraction method<\/strong>It is also used. At pressures of 73.8 bar or higher and temperatures of 88\u00b0F or higher, carbon dioxide becomes liquid and acts as a good solvent. This method enables extraction at low temperatures, allowing for the production of absolutes closer to the original floral scent, and does not cause environmental pollution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The flowers must be harvested by hand because mechanical harvesting methods have not yet been developed. To obtain the highest quality, they must be picked in the early morning when the oil content is highest.<\/p>\n<p>The annual global production of jasmine extract is only about 12 tons, with major producing countries being Egypt and Morocco. While Grasse, France, once processed 2,000 tons of flowers annually, production has now significantly decreased due to rising land prices and labor costs.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"varieties\">Characteristics of Jasmine Varieties and Production Areas<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1391 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/\uadf8\ub780\ub514\ud50c\ub85c\ub7fc-vs-\uc0bc\ubc15.png\" alt=\"\uadf8\ub780\ub514\ud50c\ub85c\ub7fc vs \uc0bc\ubc15\" width=\"564\" height=\"382\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/\uadf8\ub780\ub514\ud50c\ub85c\ub7fc-vs-\uc0bc\ubc15.png 1163w, https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/\uadf8\ub780\ub514\ud50c\ub85c\ub7fc-vs-\uc0bc\ubc15-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/\uadf8\ub780\ub514\ud50c\ub85c\ub7fc-vs-\uc0bc\ubc15-1024x694.png 1024w, https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/\uadf8\ub780\ub514\ud50c\ub85c\ub7fc-vs-\uc0bc\ubc15-768x520.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 564px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 564\/382;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are various jasmine varieties used in the perfume industry, each possessing unique fragrance characteristics.<\/p>\n<table class=\"comparison-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Variety name<\/th>\n<th>Nickname<\/th>\n<th>origin<\/th>\n<th>characteristic<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>J. grandiflorum<\/td>\n<td>Spanish Jasmine, Royal Jasmine<\/td>\n<td>Southern Europe<\/td>\n<td>The staple variety of the perfume industry.

The varieties mainly used in modern perfumery are <strong>Grandiflorum<\/strong>\uacfc <strong>Three nights<\/strong> There are two.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grandiflorum (J. grandiflorum)<\/strong>It is a standard variety in the perfume industry. It starts with light, soft, and green top notes, develops into a warm orange blossom scent, and as time passes, an animalistic and indolic base emerges.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it is elegant, delicate, and possesses complex and subtle nuances. As a key ingredient in classic French perfumes, it was used in masterpieces such as Chanel No. 5, Joy, and Arpege.<\/p>\n<p><strong>J. Sambac<\/strong>It displays a distinctly different character from Grandiflorum. Sambac is described as spicier, deeper, and more long-lasting compared to Grandiflorum. It is richer and heavier, with a sweet aspect similar to orange blossom emphasized. It is a variety better suited for oriental and sensual fragrances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yellow Jasmine (J. odoratissimum)<\/strong>Uniquely, it retains its fragrance even when dry. It produces a complex scent that resembles a blend of jonquil and orange blossoms with the characteristic white floral notes of jasmine. It has a brighter and fresher feel than other varieties, making it suitable for fresh floral fragrances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Common White Jasmine (J. officinale)<\/strong>It is the most classic variety, characterized by a pure and clean white floral scent. As the original scent of Grandiflorum, it is less indolic and gives a more transparent impression.<\/p>\n<div class=\"highlight-box\">\n<p>Choose Grandiflorum for an elegant and classic floral scent, Sambac for a sensual and deep oriental fragrance, and Yellow Jasmine for a fresh and bright floral scent. Recently, as the use of Grandiflorum has been restricted due to IFRA regulations, the use of Sambac is on the rise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"scent-profile\">Jasmine Flavor Profile<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1393 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/\uc790\uc2a4\ubbfc-\ud5a5\ubbf8-\ud504\ub85c\ud544.png\" alt=\"\uc790\uc2a4\ubbfc \ud5a5\ubbf8 \ud504\ub85c\ud544\" width=\"995\" height=\"560\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/\uc790\uc2a4\ubbfc-\ud5a5\ubbf8-\ud504\ub85c\ud544.png 1200w, https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/\uc790\uc2a4\ubbfc-\ud5a5\ubbf8-\ud504\ub85c\ud544-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/\uc790\uc2a4\ubbfc-\ud5a5\ubbf8-\ud504\ub85c\ud544-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/\uc790\uc2a4\ubbfc-\ud5a5\ubbf8-\ud504\ub85c\ud544-768x432.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 995px) 100vw, 995px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 995px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 995\/560;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The scent of jasmine changes over time.

The sweetness of jasmine is almost hypnotic, captivating the senses and imagination. The initial intense sweetness transforms into dry notes over time, but its excellent persistence maintains warmth and depth until drydown.<\/p>\n<p>Jasmine is primarily used as a middle (heart) note and blends beautifully with almost all essences. Particularly well-suited fragrance ingredients include <a href=\"https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/en\/rose\/\">Rose<\/a>, Neroli, <a href=\"https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/en\/a-fragrance-story-part-1-bergamot\/\">Bergamot<\/a>, Petitgrain, <a href=\"https:\/\/drunkencapybara.com\/en\/a-fragrance-story-part-4-sandalwood\/\">sandalwood<\/a>, These include citrus, palmarosa, geranium, and rosewood.

Although present in trace amounts, they are key components that are immediately recognized as jasmine even when smelled alone. Both exist in natural jasmine flowers and define the identity of the jasmine scent.<\/p>\n<p>Cis-jasmon imparts the green yet sweet floral character characteristic of jasmine. Methyl jasmonate has a structure in which an acetate side chain is attached to a cyclopentanone ring, and together with cis-jasmon, forms the core identity of jasmine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indole<\/strong>Indole is the component responsible for the narcotic and sensual aspects of jasmine. Interestingly, indole emits an unpleasant excrement-like odor at high concentrations, but at low concentrations (1-8%), it maximizes the sensual beauty of white florals.<\/p>\n<p>It is precisely because of this indole that the scent of jasmine gradually transforms into an animalistic and wild fragrance over time. Jean-Claude Ellena described how adding indole causes hyacinths to bloom and jasmine to become even more abundant. Indole is present not only in jasmine but also in white florals such as orange blossom, tuberose, and gardenia, and it is a key element that creates their sensual appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, although benzyl acetate is the main component (10-25%), it alone cannot reproduce the scent of jasmine. While benzyl acetate provides the basis for the fruity scent, it is not recognized as jasmine without cis-jasmon and methyl jasmonate. This is because a complex combination of hundreds of trace components creates the distinctive scent of jasmine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"highlight-box\"><strong>Synthetic jasmine ingredient: Hedion<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nIf it is jasmine synthetic fragrance <strong>Hedione<\/strong>This cannot be left out. <strong>Hedion<\/strong>Hedione is a synthetic fragrance, not a natural jasmine ingredient. Developed by Firmenich in 1962, it is a synthetic analogue created by saturating the side-chain double bonds of methyl jasmonate, which is present in natural jasmine, making it more stable and suitable for mass production. Hedione has a unique characteristic: while the scent feels weak when smelled directly from a fresh sample, it fills the entire room with a delicate floral fragrance when placed in a space. In perfumery, Hedione goes beyond merely reproducing the jasmine scent to simultaneously provide blending, fixing, and enhancing effects.<\/p>\n<p>It harmonizes with other fragrances, enhances radiance, and adds brilliance to the entire perfume. Thanks to these properties, hedione has become one of the most important ingredients in the modern perfume industry, with thousands of tons used annually.<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Claude Ellena also suggested benzyl acetate, hedione, clove bud oil, indole, and methyl anthranilate as the key combination when recreating jasmine.<\/p>\n<p>Natural jasmine oil costs between 3,000 and 5,000 pounds per kilogram, but synthetic ingredients like hedion cost one-tenth of that, and simpler analogues go down to one-hundredth. Thanks to this, jasmine notes can now be used not only in high-end fine fragrances but also in laundry detergents and household air fresheners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: revert;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>IFRA regulatory standards (perfume)<\/h3>\n<p>The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) restricts the use of jasmine absolute due to the risk of dermal sensitization. Based on perfume standards <strong>Grandiflorum is 0.6%<\/strong>, <strong>In the case of Sambak, 3.8%<\/strong>The allowable limit of Lo Sambak is about 6 times higher than that of Grandiflorum.<\/p>\n<h3>Precautions for use<\/h3>\n<p>Jasmine oil can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. According to EU cosmetic regulations, if the content is 0.0011 TP3T or more in leave-on products or 0.011 TP3T or more in rinse-off products, it must be indicated on the label.<\/p>\n<p>The major allergens contained in Jasmine Absolute are as follows.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Linalool: Potential skin irritation and allergy<\/li>\n<li>Benzyl alcohol: May cause eye irritation<\/li>\n<li>Indole: Acute toxicity and potential for skin sensitization<\/li>\n<li>Eugenol: Skin sensitizing substance<\/li>\n<li>Benzyl Benzoate: Toxic to aquatic life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pregnant women should avoid using jasmine oil on the skin. This is because essential oils can enter the bloodstream through the skin, and some can cross the placental barrier. In particular, some oils can induce menstruation, which can be dangerous in early pregnancy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tip-box\">\n<p>When using jasmine oil for the first time, a patch test is recommended: place a drop on the inside of your arm, cover it with a bandage, and check for redness or irritation after a few hours.
