It is an absolute obtained through solvent extraction from tiny white plants, too fragile to give up their volatiles in distillation. Jasmine Essential Oil Benefits: Component Breakdown Benzyl acetate – This is the component that imparts some of the floral attributes to the fragrance. Breathe it and see if you can sense its apple-like contribution. Benzyl benzoate – Also found in Cinnamon and Ylang Ylang fragrances, this has a sense of warmth to it. Phytol- adds a grassiness to the aroma. Squalene & Squalene 2,3-oxide- Squalenes are very fatty molecules that can help to hydrate and add suppleness to tissues. Isophytol – Has a floral, herby-green aroma, and is a precursor to vitamin K. Phytyl acetate – Has a waxy, almost nutty fragrance.
