Now Foods, Essential Oil Jasmine Absolute, 1 Fl Oz

Jasmine Absolute is like the fancy cousin of essential oils who went to finishing school and learned how to smell expensive without actually being pretentious about it.

This isn't your regular jasmine oil (which is already pretty good, don't get me wrong). This is jasmine absolute, which means they used a special extraction process that captures more of the flower's complex aromatic compounds. It's like the difference between a photograph and actually being there, except for your nose.

What Makes This Different

NOW Foods uses solvent extraction to create this absolute, which sounds scary but it's actually how you get the most complete scent profile from jasmine flowers. The result is this thick, honey-colored oil that smells so rich and floral, you'll want to put it on everything (but please don't put it on everything).

One drop goes a long way. I mean really far. Like, you use too much and suddenly your whole house smells like a wedding reception from 1987. Start small.

Aromatherapy Benefits

Jasmine absolute supports relaxation and helps create a calming atmosphere. It's traditionally been used to promote feelings of confidence and emotional balance. Some people find it helps with their evening wind-down routine, though I can't promise it'll make you more romantic (that's on you).

• Supports emotional wellness and relaxation
• Helps create a luxurious, spa-like atmosphere
• Promotes feelings of calm and confidence
• Perfect for diffusing or diluting in carrier oils
• Concentrated formula means a little goes a long way

How to Use It

Add 1-2 drops to your diffuser (seriously, start with one). For topical use, always dilute in a carrier oil first because this stuff is potent. You can also add a drop to unscented lotion or mix it with other essential oils for custom blends.

The 1 fl oz bottle will last you forever because you use so little each time. It's like buying a really good hot sauce where the bottle sits in your cabinet for years, except this one makes your room smell like paradise instead of making your mouth hurt.

NOW Foods has been doing essential oils since before essential oils were cool, so you know they've got the quality control down. Pure jasmine absolute, no synthetic fragrances trying to crash the party.
