Jasmine Sambac 3%


Average Product Rating: 4.9 / 5 (Based on 20 Customer Reviews)


Botanical Name: Jasminum sambac

Plant Part: Flowers

Extraction Method: Solvent Extraction

Description: Jasmine Sambac is a beautiful plant; its flowers bloom late in the evening unlike Jasmine Grandiflorum that blooms in the early dawn.

Color: Dark brown yellowish liquid.

Common Uses: Jasmine Sambac Absolute is well regarded as an aphrodisiac, though it is also considered an antidepressant, sedative, and antispasmodic.

Consistency: Thick

Note: Middle

Strength of Aroma: Strong

Blends well with: Jasmine Sambac Absolute generally works with all oils. It helps to round out scents, and tends to work particularly well with other aphrodisiac oils (Sandalwood and Ylang-ylang are two great examples).

Aromatic Scent: Jasmine Sambac Absolute is an incredibly intense aroma that is very floral, yet more musky and masculine than the Jasmine Grandiflorum.

History: Since ancient times, Jasmine has been referred to as the King of oils (Rose is the Queen). Apparently this is because Jasmine is the most masculine of all the floral oils. It is also interesting to note that it takes 8,000 carefully hand-picked blossoms to produce 1 gram (about 1 ml.) of Jasmine Absolute.

Cautions: It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance - particularly the rare and exotic notes - becomes lost.

Jasmine Sambac is an absolutely gorgeous, heady, feminine, floral, sensual, sexy scent. When I use this either on its own or mixed with other oils I feel like a goddess ready to take on any man who comes on my path lol....seriously, it is a fabulous Jasmine and one of my absolute faves!

Beautiful scent! I love using this one in creams. Although it's a dilution it still has a good, strong scent.

Gorgeous - Jasmine sambac reminds me of the jasmine often blended with green tea, so I have used this oil in tea scents. It's watery-smelling, not cloying. After buying the dilution, I don't think I will ever need to buy the pure stuff: as others have said, the relative fragrance strength of the 3% is amazingly equivalent to many pure essential oils, so it even works fine for blending.

When I first got this I was certain that I would prefer the jasmine grandiflorum, which has that true jasmine smell, but I LOVE this EO so much more. It has a more delicate, yet slightly spicier scent to it, and almost a hint of rose.

I'm really glad I purchased this as the 3% dilution. The scent is cloyingly strong. I was curious about it and was expecting it to be very light since it is a dilution but I was way wrong. I give it five stars because at 3% dilution it has a very strong scent and it smells just like you have a bunch of fresh jasmine under your nose.

This Jasmine takes my thoughts straight to the garden. It has a lush honey tone to it that adds just the right note to some of my creations. It is a heady, wonderful and affordable oil. It's a summer night in a bottle!

I just want to jump inside the bottle!! This was my first experience in purchasing Jasmine and I am very happy with it. The price of Jasmine is expensive so, it was nice to test it out at such an affordable price. Thanks so much!!

I love this!! I am so glad NDA carries 2 kinds of jasmine scent~ The grandiflorum is also very beautiful, more subtle and floral. The Sambac is also flora, but I feel it's sweeter? Loves both of the jasmines :)

I love this smell. The 3% dilution is strong enough that the jasmine smell is noticable in CP soap. I have never been a fan of regular jasmine, but the sambac has a more subdued honey-like smell to me.

This is fabulous! I was, as others were, very shocked at the strength of this oil! I put 10 drops into a 4 ounce bottle of lotion for me and it is almost overpowering. I am considering rebottling it into two 4 ounce bottles and adding more unscented lotion, rofl. Very strong, intense jasmine aroma.

Ughhh! I absolutely love the scent of this night blooming jasmine! I prefer Jasminum Sambac which has a lush and wet scent to Jasminum Grandiflorum which is considered to be more flowery. In my EO perfume blend, this Jasmine balances the many sweet florals to give it a more rounded and complete aroma!

I usually find jasmine too sweet and cloying, so this is a lovely way to use it! I like the fresher, less intense scent of the sambac jasmine compared to the grandiflorum.

I adore the 3% dilutions. They are much stronger than I had anticipated and reasonably priced. A great way to include otherwise unaffordable scents in my formulations. I would love to see a larger variety offered in the future.

This is just a divine scent! A little bit is all you need to mix in a lotion. I use it as a perfume oil, too. Does anyone know how to make the scent last longer?

Jasmine Sambac has an intense floral fragrance; smells just like the actual flower. But I don't think it is "musky and masculine."
