Jasmine Sambac Absolute

Fragrance Material | Absolute

Jasmine Sambac Absolute, extracted from the delicate flowers of Jasminum sambac, is a lush, intoxicating floral material with rich cultural and perfumery heritage. Native to South and Southeast Asia, jasmine sambac is revered for its sensual, night-blooming blossoms—capturing a narcotic, green-floral scent that is both radiant and velvety.

Compared to the more powdery, refined Jasminum grandiflorum, sambac is fruitier, greener, and more exotic, with nuances of indolic richness, tea-like freshness, and a honeyed, animalic warmth. This makes it indispensable in modern perfumery, where it acts as both a voluptuous heart note and a natural bridge between radiant florals, sweet fruits, and deep resins.

Pure Absolute vs. Dilutions

• Pure Jasmine Sambac Absolute – Best suited for advanced perfumery work. Highly concentrated, viscous, and powerful. Ideal for blending into fine fragrance, high-end perfumery, and artisanal accords where maximum intensity and nuance are desired.

• 10% Dilution in DPG (Dipropylene Glycol) – A perfumer’s dilution that makes the absolute easier to measure, blend, and work into alcohol-based perfumes. Retains the character of the pure oil while allowing finer control over dosage.

• 10% Dilution in Fractionated Coconut Oil – A ready-to-use option for body oils, skincare, massage blends, and oil-based roll-on perfumes. Easier to handle for beginners and perfect for natural body care or direct topical use (patch test recommended).

How to Use

• Pure Absolute: Use at 0.5–5% in natural perfumery blends as a heart note

• 10% DPG Dilution: Blend directly into alcohol for easier creation of fine fragrances

• 10% Fractionated Coconut Dilution: Use in body oils, creams, or as a single-note roll-on perfume

• Pairs beautifully with sandalwood, ylang ylang, rose, tuberose, citrus oils, amber, patchouli, vanilla, and musks
