They take the jobs people with money aren’t willing to do themselves

Strange how you assume they are in poverty. They live in luxury? Probably not. Poverty? Probably not too

@@_Digita1Err0r_ why bother telling him.. Their assumptions have no sense anyway

Nice comment

Such is life

Has anyone here heard of Dutch East India Company...

@@smitpatel1461 Not really...

Because they add value to the raw material. India doesn't have a good fragrance maker - a brand which people will be willing to pay extraordinary amount.

It's because French luxury goods are top of the world, it's a matter of prestige and luxury to buy them...

@@makanimemafia9021 Indian people have a stereotype - that foreign items are better and more valuable. Even if we had a luxury perfume brand and if you'd ask any Indian either that or Dior, they'll choose Dior. Btw India already has its "own" perfume called Attar, which is scented oil, and this flower's fragrance is very popular among others.

Here in the Philippines, many houses have the jasmine growing on their fence. Just passing by is heaven enough for me, so I can only imagine how much more to be in a field.

Agreed bro...

Madurai malli (Jasmine) is one of the best

Great name

There are people waiting to send you to heaven, this time literally literally not the fake literally.

its just a plant chill

@@kalashydra9016 you will be super chilled after smelling that plant flowers

Hey isn't this Mogra? Mogra and Jasmin are same or something?

@@mraj6811 lavender is good enought for me and i dont have to sell my kidney for it : )

Is this from alike Jasmine tea?

U can pour water in a vessel and float some Jasmine flowers on top in ur home...or maybe u can just leave a garland of Jasmine in ur room ,..

If that happens, you will hate the fragrance in some time. Because jasmine smells good only when it is in small quantity

@@stevethea5250 dried Jasmine smells differently from fresh Jasmine. Infact, Jasmine smells strongest when it's a Bud. It's also antidepressant.

I used to have a jasmine bush in my old house's frontyard. Once they bloom I'd pick some and put them in a bowl of water and place it in my room as an air freshener lol. 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.

Is the oil available in Kerala?

@@sarithakrishnan1665 it was in a gift shop, Along with other essential oils.

I prefer the smell of human fear and despair I just can't find some who bottles it luckily the making of luxury brands ensures that smell is always around

Yes awesome fragrance

@@joejacko1587 YES

Yeah but they sell all to west and we people get 2nd and 3rd quality stuffs... 🙂

For example cheap labour...

Indians STOP whining . We are responsible for electing fraud politicians and goons ...

Qnd then get exploited by non-hindus.

I’d say curse. It is what got them invaded

Came to say this. Also i use to make 'gajra' for my mother when i was a kid.

It's not a romantic thing but a garland which women do wear at the time of festivals which can be put into "special occasions". Of course men can gift their wives this but that doesn't mean it's always romantic. Definitely not like the rose

@@hidum5779 In southern parts of India, it is still used for romance.

@@pookuti6605 like I said already. A man can gift this to his wife/gf and that can be the romantic aspect. But then again I can buy my gf some pizza or french fries. Doesn't mean french fries or pizza is always romantic. Rose is a different case altogether

@@hidum5779 You are wrong here. If I use your analogy here, A man can give Pizza or fries to his Mom or Sister but he will never buy ( in South India) Jasmine flowers for them as it is linked to Romance. As for Rose, only the Red Rose (not all) is related with Romance.

@Yourfather1372 what

Is Jasmine the sampaguita flower ??

@@iconpadin4874 Sampaguita (Jasminum sambac) is a sweetly scented tropical flower. Belonging to the wide genus of Jasmines (Jasminum), Sampaguita is the common name of the species Jasminum sambac. Sampaguita is also known as Philippine Jasmine, Arabian jasmine, Pikake in Hawaii, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Kampupot, and Melati .

And it's these guys who make a business of it.

Good to know . Very delicate flower.

Jasminium Sambac is not uniquely Philippines. It's native habitat range from South Asia to South East Asia. To call it a National flower would be incorrect.

It's pleasant but not really strong like a concentrated perfume.

Beginning of the video: "To get 1 kilogram of Jasmin Oil, these ladies need to pick 5,000 buds." [ WhY iS iT So eXpEnsIvE? ] ... I guess i don't need to watch the video anymore it was answered right there... 😂

I had a jasmine tree indoors in my atrium. I can't imagine fields of them. They smell amazing.

There’s always someone like you in the comment section who has the same thing mentioned in the video. 😂

@@KEVIN-xd6qg because it's 👍 shit, 😆! In all seriousness, that particular smell good has saved a few people's asses!

Does Jasmine last a long enough time to be a base note in fragrances? Just curious. Thanks.

Ah yes the philippino tembles

no sent is more attractive than the pheromones a woman naturally produces who is and eats healthy who takes care of their body why cover that up

no sent is more attractive than the pheromones a woman naturally produces who is and eats healthy who takes care of their body why cover that up

@@joejacko1587 Scent isn't for cover ups. I wear it for the feeling it gives me. Nights when I want to feel sexy or days when I want to feel that powerful confidence. Or playful and fun and happy afternoons. Scent is like a fantasy and escape and adventure, we associate it with nostalgia or imagination. It does a lot for a woman.

It's the chemists who came up with the perfect unique blend of notes to be marketable + the expensive packaging

It's sad that the cheaper they produce, the cheaper the workers get paid 😢

Nope 500 per kg for flowers means flower seller will get 6$ only.

That’s just like any other product from carbonated beverages to pharmaceuticals. But before it’s commercialized, there’s development costs that makes the intellectual property so valuable. That’s why it’s so painful when China counterfeits apparel, drugs, military parts, telecom equipment, movie media, basically anything and everything; the manufacturing costs NOTHING.

@@sumitpandey-tw7rm that would be around $4k monthly when converted using PPP

Well in some parts of India, smell of Jasmine at night is attributed with the supernatural. Jasmine is used in the hair as decorations in women's hairs at daytime. So, strong Jasmine smell at the dead of the night means some ghost (probably a female one) is out there, looking for you. 😂😂

yes in tamil folklore also people used to frighten small children telling ghost used to wear them and roam in night.

@@youknowme2322 yet my mom has a bad habit of not removing them from her hair after visiting the temple and sleeps without removing them

I don't like the smell of jasmine..it gives me headache, we have 4 jasmine bush in our garden and when it blooms i feel nauseous.. and i don't like Jasmine ingredient in perfume too..

ya thats definetly has a link to india.. Funfact: MALATI ( a common south indian girl name btw ) means "the best quality jasmine" in sanskrit and i am pretty sure thats how it got into indonesian

@Yourfather1372 😁

@Yourfather1372 this guy is psycho 🤣

I think it's cause when they hand collect them they can crush it more easily. Plus the raking and hand spreading seems to be pretty gentle and they put their feet under the flowers for the most part (I assume as to not crush them). Also the flowers that are just picked have to look good for the markets but in production they just have to be good for their use

I partially agree. But I’d like to think they know better than we do

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. They're light enough to be pushed by baskets and that prevents the touchie touchie.

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.

Bloomed*

why sad .i think you can still use oil since only flower cause allergy

That must be disappointing.

It gives me headache

Same

In our Odisha too. Jasmine is very common flower plants mostly in rural areas. Locally known as Malli , but there's also a different version of Jasmine flower we call it as JAI , Jai Flower. But it's petals are long and sharp. and the Plants look like vine.

which country Thailand?

@@makanimemafia9021 Philippines

Yes, most don't know it's scientific name is Jasminum sambac and it's found and enjoyed all around southeast asia.

@@AlreadyTaken999 but cost of living is also very low here.

@@AlreadyTaken999 See, that’s the thing though. These women technically come under unskilled labour, and the cost of living here is low enough that 1 kg of rice is just 45 cents under the government’s scheme. Getting even 4 to 5 dollars a day is enough to support them and ensure a reasonable quality of life. Not to say that they shouldn’t be paid more, or that they aren’t being exploited though. Money is money at the end of the day, and if they earn enough to make a difference, they’ll keep showing up to work. That’s still better than staying at home without a job so…

Capitalism my friend!

Seriously, it's gross.

Would you rather the bud pickers not have a job and just starve? It’s unskilled labor and nobody is forcing them to do it.

It looks like skilled labor to me. I certainly don't have the skills to 1) know whether or not a particular bud is going to bloom that evening and 2) pick 5000 of them in an hour. Do you?

everyone involved here is crucial in producing a final product, from the growers (not shown) pickers, extracters and blenders. they are all doing the work.

I just heard that Kinnaur district breathes one of the purest air in the world

We want charas oil exports from India especially your state one 😂

How many acres is needed to harvest so many Jasmine flowers in India?

How much land require to cultivate to get more flowers like 1000 kg?

The plant itself has little value but the products it helps create do. That's the whole point of this series.

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

Exactly i am lucky to say that i worked in an Heavenly place like JASMINE💕

They are payed well because they are skilled laborers. It takes a skilled eye to see what to and what not to pick

@@Brinkaskfavor yes they will be payed..... Don't you see how big brands take most of the profit . That payment is just negligible in front of that

@@avantikaverma8616 then why don’t they start their own company. Or get a Different job. They chose to go into that line of work

@@Brinkaskfavor do I really have to answer why they don't 😂😂

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.
