  • A kilogram of jasmine oil can cost $5,000. But to get that small amount of oil, harvesters need to handpick over 5,000 jasmine buds. Once the flower blooms, producers in India quickly process it into one of the priciest absolute oils in the world. Today, jasmine oil is an integral ingredient in many luxury perfumes, including Dior's J'Adore, Guerlain's Shalimar, and Chanel No. 5. So, what does jasmine oil smell like? And why is it so expensive?

From where I'm from, legends say jasmine attract (don't quote me on this) a female ghost, I don't know if this is true although it is true if you suddenly smell jasmine in a place where there are no jasmine nearby. But I don't really care since I love the smell and I know I have the physical flowers nearby, so the smell didn't just appear out of thin air.

      It's bcz these Blooming flowers are so delicate that touching them again and again would smush them easily and it gets spoilt real fast then.

      Its bcoz when they collect them they are still buds and hav no scent. It needs to bloom to hav scent. The buds need to be handled delicately while plucking coz if destroyed it wont bloom and will die. Once plucked, gloomed in industry.. they have to cook it into perfume quickly as its shelf life is less. And also once it blooms, there is no need for extra care like required when it was buds.

    So basically for 1 kg of Jasmin-oil 1000 work-hours of plucking is needed or 100 workers plucking one day. In the European context that would mean about 8.000 to 10.000 euros per day. But as this is India and 1 kg of the oil costs 5.000 USD and needs to be profitable, and after plucking there is further processing needed, you can estimate the approximate income of each women.

I used so many perfumes throughout my life but the best Jasmine perfume I've ever used was the Signature Victoria Beckham Limited Edition, it came only in a 50ml Gold bottle. It was the best. It's been discontinued. It was absolutely divine because it captured the *real* Jasmine fragrance you get off the Jasmine plants. Jasmine oils give off a very different scent. Real Jasmine smells sweet like honey and vanilla.

      Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
      Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
      Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
      Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
      Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
      Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
      Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.
      Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed.
      Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions.
      Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope.
      Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.
      Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948

      If you think that being a perfumer is someone who just “brought the final product at such little price [and] sold them under the name of profit”, you are mistaken as to their role in this process. Yes, the brand makes a profit on their product, but they do have to pay considerable amounts to get the pure oils to blend into perfume and they must experiment extensively to create marketable blends which costs many thousands in development and research. Not one stage of production in perfumes is cheap, in labour or cost. Each stage is paid according to skill and production. Of course the pickers will not be paid at the rate of the perfumer, perfumers have a very specific skill set to perform their roles. Whereas pickers, while having a valuable skill, are more available than perfumers. It’s economics. I would be willing to pay my surgeon more than my plumber for the rarity of their skill set. Likewise the perfumer more than the picker.
