How do you make perfume from jasmine flowers?
Hey, that's my name!





Ask someone from Tunisia, it's their national flower and when you are there the scent of the Jasmine flower follows you anywhere you go all year round.
Reply:It's a very long process, and cannot be done at home.


You would have to have thousands of jasmine flowers just to make an ounce of perfume oil.





There are many ways in which essential oils are extracted. Expression is the second method to make essential Oils, used particlularly with citrus rind, which is pressed and squeezed.








Extraction is the third method of making essential oils and this can be divided into two. In enfleurage sheets of glass are coated in odourless fat, into which petals are pressed. The fat gradually absorbs the scent. This is costly and time consuming and explains why some essential oils in aromatherapy, particularly that of the tuberose, are worth more than their weight in gold. It takes 10 tons of rose blossom to produce a single kilo of oil. The second method of essential oil extraction is solvent extraction using a hydrocarbon solvent such as petroleum spirit which is then boiled off. This is used to extract the oils of gums and resins and for flowers such as jasmine.

then I'm thinking why don't you just buy some jas perfume? too much work for experimentation!!
Reply:I know that "Silky Scents" has essential oils %26amp; organic essential oils, and they have a free recipe section. You'll probably be able to find all the information there. Plus they have the pictures of each plant. You can google their name to find them online.
