Description
Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum) is perhaps one of the foremost original, luxurious, staple ingredients used in history and still in today’s fragrance markets.
So much so that the centre of the world perfumery industry, Grasse, France, adopted the Jasmine flower as their own symbol of the town and every August hold a ‘Jasmine Festival’ during which locals and visitors scatter jasmine water and flowers over celebrating crowds and the town comes alive with music and other events.
It is not only used in fine fragrance but also in aromatherapy for treating muscular complaints and skin related issues – especially for those prone to suffering with sensitive skin allergies. It is also known to be effective as an ingredient for relieving stress like symptoms.
Jasmine originates from India but is also cultivated in a number of other countries across southern Europe and North Africa, including that of Egypt.
The flower picking season starts around June in Egypt and can last several months. The petals are only hand collected before sunrise to ensure the sunlight does not dry the oil contained within the petals once they are picked.
It can take around 1 metric ton (MT) of flowers to product around 2 kilo of oil! That’s a lot of flowers!!

Latest Market Information September 11, 2025
The Gharbiya region located in the Nile Delta is the primary jasmine cultivating area in Egypt. Over 90% of Egypt’s
jasmine fields are concentrated in this region. The harvest season typically commences in June and continues until November. Jasmine absolute is obtained through solvent extraction of jasmine flowers using petroleum-based solvents. This makes the process sensitive to fuel price fluctuations. Egyptian jasmine grows favourably in warm, sunny, and semi-arid conditions, with well-drained loamy or sandy soils. It requires regular irrigation to ensure healthy blossom production. Jasmine absolute is notably rich, with a deep, floral, and exotic aroma.The crop season has commenced, and fuel prices have gone up. This has resulted in an increase in the price of oil.
