Jasmine


Jasminum officianale-produces either a concrete or absolute from the blossoms.  An essential oil may then be produced by distilling the absolute.  The fragrance is intensely rich, warm floral.  It has the ability to round off notes and blend with virtually everything. There are at least three types of jasmine used in aromatherapy--sambac, grandiflorium and auriculatus. (which is purported to smell somewhat like gardenia).

+ Enjoy the delicate silk underwear, exotic perfumes, cashmere against the skin, or the sweet smell of a newborn babe.  If they can afford it, they’ll dine on strawberries and champagne.  Always enjoys the scent and aroma of flowers.

+ Enjoys old fashioned courtesies, which they also give to others.

+ Will not stand for sexual harassment, but are flattered when someone says they look nice.

+ There are no dull moments. 

+ The male JASMINE is devastatingly attractive to the opposite sex, as JASMINE females are to men.
