Jasmine Sambac Absolute Oil India

Musky, masculine Jasmine sambac is native to India and like Grandiflorum, requires hand harvesting at odd hours of the night. Sambac is the national flower of the Philippines and is a pledge of mutual love. And love is what one feels when using Sambac. It is slightly deeper in floral notes with a little spiciness. It is less common than Grandiflorum but is important when there is a need to add spice notes to a floral blend. Interestingly, the fresh leaves can be made into an herbal infusion for gallstones.

Suggested uses: Floral magnificence in natural perfumery – very little is needed to create a luxury blend that can be used in both male and female natural botanical perfumes. A complete aphrodisiac and calms the nervous system (or is it nervine and then an aphrodisiac?). Blends well with base wood notes and frankincense essential oils. Valuable addition when making a solid perfume butter such as our Flower Butters. Deep spiritual oil, of love, perhaps because it is harvested by careful hands.
