The grandiflorum variety blooms during the day opening in the morning much like gardenia does whereas Sambac Jasmine open at night to release her aroma. It is believed that the Jasmine bushes originated in India. There are over 40 species of Jasminum that have been identified in India and over 300 world-wide, with much is being used medicinally, spiritually and aromatically. Jasminum grandiflorum and other species of the genus spread into the Middle East, Persia, and then Europe in the eighteenth century.
During the Process of creating an absolutes oil of these delicate flowers the natural solid wax from the plant is left behind. This is called floral wax. It retains a milder aroma than is found in the absolute, but its creamy texture makes it a desirable ingredient, a absolute must have no pun intended.
Waxes are easy and very forgiving to use as well as very cost effective in the exploration stage of production and waxes can add body and even texture to a composition or formula where needed.
Floral waxes can be incorporated into creams, lotions, balms, and solid perfumes. The floral wax is a by product of Absolute or CO2 process and the aroma is not as strong as the oil produced. Floral waxes aroma bloom even more when warmed. While floral waxes tend to be quite hard and may take longer to melt, the effort invested can be very rewarding.
Inspired by the verse:
“I am the rose of Sharon, The lily of the valleys.” “Like a lily among the thorns, So is my darling among the maidens.”…Song of Song 21
