This exceptionally high-quality Jasmine Sambac absolute is produced using hexane-free extraction, which results in an intense and complex aroma with fruity, floral, and woodsy notes. The fresh yet mysteriously deep aroma of this oil is treasured for its alluring aromatic properties, which create feelings of euphoria, happiness, and sensuality. This exquisite oil has been treasured for centuries and is extensively used in the perfume industry for its uplifting, seductive, and beautiful qualities.
Compared to Jasmine (grandiflorum), Jasmine Sambac absolute has a slightly green floral back note that brings forth a more masculine side to Sambac. Although it has been well-regarded as an aphrodisiac since antiquity, it has other reputed qualities, such as antidepressant and sedative properties, and is a wonderful aromatic aid for birthing mothers. It is also a comforting scent during times of imbalance, PMS, and menopause. This makes it a sensual, spiritual, balancing, and calming aromatic that has it all.
Jasmine Sambac absolute is obtained by carefully and delicately picking un-bruised flower blossoms during the night when flowering occurs. Due to the delicate nature of the beautiful blossoms, they cannot be processed with steam distillation, which would cause the complete aroma of the flower to be lost. Therefore, approximately 8,000 carefully hand-picked blossoms yield 1 gram (about 1 mL) of Jasmine Sambac absolute.
This extremely potent aroma should be well diluted before use since a little goes a long way. Diluting it in fractionated coconut oil or adding it sparingly in a blend of other oils lets the fruitier notes of Jasmine Sambac come forward. It is so potent that only a small amount is needed to enjoy its full benefits.
