Overview

Jasmine Sambac Absolute

Our Jasmine Sambac Absolute is an extremely beautiful oil for Jasmine lovers, but with a slightly different aroma than Jasminum grandiflorum – it has a fresh, natural greenness compared to our sweeter, more sultry Jasmine absolutes from India and Egypt. Its somewhat green fruity/floral initial aroma is followed by the characteristic rich floral/honey/tea notes that become sweeter in the drydown. Jasmine Sambac is ideal in natural perfumery for a greener, lighter and fresher Jasmine aroma and for perhaps being somewhat more tenacious than Jasminum grandiflorum.1

Jasmine has been among the principal ingredients of more than 80% of all quality perfumes and a third of all men’s fragrances.2 The sensual aroma is exhilarating and playful, and according to Patricia Davis, brings together the fiery dynamism associated with the masculine aspect (yang) and the soft earthiness of the feminine (yin).3 The uninhibited aroma evokes lightness and joy, setting the stage for physical awareness and imagination. It is no wonder that the flowers, thought to awaken the spiritual nature of intimacy, have been used traditionally in some cultures to decorate the bed of newlyweds. In magical spiritual traditions, Jasmine is used as a devotional anointing oil and is worn for blessings and good luck.4

One look at the chemistry of this seductive aroma explains a lot about its sensual appeal. Amid a bouquet of complex flowery esters, including methyl anthranilate, is the queen of floral aromas, indole, but only if smelled in low concentrations; it occurs naturally in human feces and, at full strength, has an intense fecal odor. At very low concentrations, however, it is intensely floral and appears in some of the sweetest blossoms – for example Narcissus, Jonquil, Honeysuckle, Champaca and Neroli – and is highly regarded in natural perfumery.

Jasmine vines in full flower have a voluptuous aroma that surrounds and embraces anyone who passes. Indeed, no other floral aroma can compare to Jasmine’s legendary effects. The aroma of Jasmine is said to blend with virtually everything and is an indispensable ingredient for the natural perfumer.

PLEASE NOTE: Jasmine Sambac Absolute is intended for use in perfumery only. If you are interested in using Jasmine for aromatherapy applications, please see the high-quality Jasmine Organic Extract that we carry.

My jasmine sambac smells off which I don’t understand- have never had this problem before with anything from eden.

The Flouve is totally and unexpectedly delightful though and the best i’ve ever smelled. Will be definitely ordering more for my winter oil concoction.

Pure fruit, pure aphrodisiac! Truly full-bodied because of the "absolute" components that are included in this oil. It's really gorgeous - and I think it would be an amazing stand-alone perfume or aroma-therapy treatment!

Keep up the amazing work Eden Botanicals - you bring a lot of joy and healing to people's lives!

An absolutely gorgeous Jasmine. It doesn’t have the animaliac undertones that some jasmines can throw - very complex, clean floral; it reminds me of the jasmine note in Jean Patou’s Joy—and joyful it is!

I recently purchased the Jasmine Sampler. I love the fruity musky aspect of the Sambac. It perfectly complemented & reigned in the overpowering cistus and ambrette seed I used in a blend. Want to order more!!

It's floral green and smooth, and is an amazing ingredient to transform a perfume. I found Eden got the best quality out of all my other providers.

I dabbed on a touch to test as a direct perfume. Starts out intensely floral, like bruised petals, then settles into something more elegant and sweetly fresh like the jasmine of green tea. Absolutely beautiful.

This Jasmine Sambac is the best I've ever smelled. It's so full-bodied that I even think I smell undertones of Linden, Honeysuckle and Gardenia. But like a complex musical chord that makes you think you're hearing notes that actually aren't there, this could also be the case. Who cares – it's the experience that counts. Five stars and more.

This is a lovely, complex, intense and intriguing jasmine with what seems to me a sweet water note right up front that settles down into the floral aspect typical of grandiflorum, with a hint of spice. Been comparing the two all day. Not noticing the green aspect at all. I love this jasmine.

I would say that this particular Jasmine is a bit naughtier than your standard Jasminum Grandiflorum variety, It's got plenty of indolic muskiness that gives it a very sensual and earthy edge as well as a bright peach or apricot like fruitiness. Plays very nicely with Tobacco absolute, Atlas Cedarwood, and Bergamot.

A buoyant heart note! Review by

A lovely extract lacking the unpleasant solvent smell so common in other jasmine absolutes. Etherial, tart, with a hint of new-leaf green this lovely clear, orange extract is exquisite. Use it traces to improve any perfume. A buoyant heart note that embraces every citrus, floral, forest, or herbal note. Does fascinating things with deep resinous bases. Blend with roman chamomile and the blue oils for joyful effects. If I had to buy one jasmine, this would be it!

Many, just like I am, are in love with Jasmine. Who is not? It's beautiful, it's elegant, it's mesmerizing.
Jasmine Sambac absolute is no different. It has its own character though. Instead of the total sweetness of Jasminum Grandiflorum, Jasmine Sambac has more earthy and green and may be a bit of spicy character along with its sweetness. It's has a very strong scent and just a minute amount will add a lot to a blend. It's a multi-dimensional absolute and each sniff opens a different door in your brain.
