Dear friends

I would like to visit either India or Egypt in order to visit bulk growers of jasmine, gardenia and tuberose for the production of absolute.

My interest is purely sensual. Does anybody know in which regions of these countries perfume flowers are grown/

Many thanks

Dave

Wow! That would be such a fantastic trip. I hope someone who knows will comment, because I'd love to go too!

Apart from this, with the risk of getting slightly-off topic, you might also be interested in the equally famous French region of Grasse, actually homeland to a great deal of the essential oils contained in most perfumes. While I can't guarantee that you might find the bulk producers of this particular species of flowers, you will surely find lots of the other main essential oils used in perfume industry there, as well as the flowers, plants, herbs from whom they are extracted.
