In Omani studies: Richardson & Dorr (2003) wrote that: "The processing of leather in Southern Oman is an art in itself, made possible by the abundance of indigenous plant materials available for the use of artisns. These include not only a wide variety of agents for hair-removal and tanning, but other materials for leather treatment which are not utilised elsewhere in Oman. For example, the underbark of the frankincense tree is often used to deodorise leather and to improve its suppleness and pliability. Jasmine is also used as a suppleness agent and to impart fragrance". (Ref. The Craft Heritage of Oman). In addition, Ghazanfar (2015) mentioned that: "The flowers are fragrant and appreciated locally for their scent, and often cultivated in homes. Several species of Jasminum, especially J. sambac (simple leaved shrub) is widely cultivated in private gardens for the fragrant flowers". (Ref. Flora of Oman; vol.3).
