Jasmine Sambac Absolute

Jasmine sambac absolute is a highly esteemed material in the perfumery industry, extracted from the flowers of Jasminum sambac, a species native to South and Southeast Asia, often cultivated in India and China. Unlike the more common Jasminum officinale, Jasminum sambac has a distinct, lush, sweet floral aroma that is rich and complex.

The scent profile of Jasmine sambac absolute is intensely floral and somewhat musky, with a deep, intoxicating quality. It has a powerful, persistent fragrance that is both sweet and voluptuous. As a key note in perfumes, it imparts depth and warmth, often perceived as exotic and sensual. The aroma has subtle undertones of green notes and a slight fruitiness, which can be reminiscent of the freshness of a garden after rain.

This absolute is particularly valued for its potent aroma which blends well with a variety of other scent notes, such as rose, bergamot, and sandalwood, making it a favorite among perfumers aiming to create rich, long-lasting floral blends. Its intensity and complexity make it suitable for high-end and luxury perfumes, enhancing the overall quality and character of the fragrance formulations. Jasmine sambac absolute is not only used for its scent but also for its supposed mood-enhancing properties, adding a layer of allure and emotional depth to fragrances.
