About this product
A warm night, the garden breathing through an open window, and a scent so heavy and sweet it seems to come from the moon. Jasmine sambac blooms at night, and this is its absolute, diluted to 10% in light, odorless fractionated coconut oil.
The absolute is solvent-extracted in India from ethically farmed flowers. It takes some 8,000 hand-picked blossoms to make a single gram, about one milliliter, and no bruised flower may be used, since bruising ruins the aroma. Its opening notes are heavy and sweet with a rich, mysterious depth, then fruity and floral notes unfold. Beside the softer grandiflora, sambac is the jasmine often called the king of flowers.
Details
- Botanical name: Jasminum officinalis var. sambac
- Origin: India, ethically farmed flowers
- Method: solvent extraction (absolute)
- Dilution: 10% in fractionated coconut oil
How to use
Add it to an evening perfume or blend. IFRA sets a maximum dermal use of 4% for the absolute; at 10%, this dilution is still above that, so blend it further before it touches the skin. Robert Tisserand notes a low risk of skin sensitization and possible drug interactions with oral use, so never take it internally.
The garden at midnight, in a bottle easier to pour.
