Spring is in no doubt my favorite season because of the flowers and the lovely weather of course.
To always feel and smell Spring all year round, I get my favorite floral essential oils. These days, I turn to my Jasmine Essential Oil.

Science, History, and Background of Jasmine Essential Oil
It comes from a plant in India and the oil is extracted by solvent extraction. The flowers are hand-picked before dawn to take advantage of their intense aroma during that time.
Over a ton of flowers are needed to make at least four pounds of the pure oil. Yes, it’s labor intensive! It also accounts for the higher price of this oil. Its main constituents are as follows: 58% Esters, 8.85% Diterpenoids, 8.61% Monoterpenols.
Jasmine was used in perfumeries in France and was used medically in India, China and Arabia. Today, it is served as tea in China and used as garlands as gifts to guests in India.
