Jasmine Absolute

[Guest guest]

Michael,

 

It's a matter of personal preference on the jasmine. I like Grandiflorum

_much_ better than sambac. To me, sambac is heavier, not as true as the

grandiflorum. I know one gal uses the sambac along with another eo as her

perfume and it smells wonderful on her, but I like the other. It's

definitely a matter of preference.

Hey Michael,

They are not at all in trouble .. I need them to make the company work.

I can't do their job and they can't do mine .. we do it as a team. But

I reminded them to not answer technical questions about EO and NEVER any

questions about therapeutics because I am not sure that some ringer is

not gonna call up and ask the kinds of things that I would recognize as

coming from a ringer. I get emails like that from time to time .. and

being a suspicious minded ex-cop to begin with .. I smell ringer often.

Not sure if its a gummit person .. or a YL person .. but after nine

years in the business I know how to answer without answering. ;-P

 

My folks in Maryland have a tough job .. I don't want to make it tougher

by asking them to do things they're not qualified to do.

 

And while I'm on that .. I wrote most folks and told them we are gonna

be a day late maybe getting orders out from the weekend .. Margaret was

the only one to get to work today .. FedEx appears to be grounded and

I'm not sure if the Postal folks will get in. We have some snow in them

thar Appalachian Mountains.

 

> Is there a difference between jasmine sambac and grandiflorum? Why do

> you like sambac?

 

Different species .. like the various Eucalyptus .. I like J. sambac

cause to me it smells much nicer than J. grandiflorum .. and its the one

of choice for perfumery. Both are nice but side by side you can see a

difference in a heartbeat.

 

As for Jasmine Hydrosols .. rare and in my opinion .. and commercially

non-existent as its not a common practice for commercial operations to

try to lose money. But there are some out and about. Why is Jasmine

not steam distilled? Because the fine top notes are destroyed with

steam distillation .. if no distillation .. no Hydrosol.
