Jasmine Sambac Absolute Signature Gold
Adam Michael has this to say “Aromatically this Chinese Jasmine Sambac absolute is a work of aromatic art. I have evaluated this now several times since receiving the sample in early September and literally everything about this aromatic is completely flawless. For me, if I bring my score cards out, this is a 10 out of 10 every single time. I loved our Indian material (no longer offered by us) and it has its place within the perfumer’s palette, but from the viewpoint of an absolute capturing and displaying a true to life experience, then yes, without any hesitation at all, I would choose this Chinese jasmine sambac in a heartbeat. I hold this material in the highest regard and the producer who I perceive as an artist and aromatic genius, has my greatest respect. This is why I am also awarding this aromatic Signature Gold status. Sourced directly from China and from a producer that feeds the worlds most respected naturals conglomerate with this exact product.
From the bottle or applied to the strip, the opening of this aromatic is a mesmerising tidal wave of heavily concentrated jasmine flowers with prominent orange blossom and grassy green tonalities. I also detect a fleeting apple crispness that I associate with magnolia flower e.o and a waxy creaminess that is reminiscent of smelling living gardenia flowers along with a big dose of sweetness.
It takes around 30 minutes before the material settles and when it does, it displays a true accuracy to smelling the living jasmine sambac flowers (which we grow), meaning the green aspects fade into a background note with the fresh breezy jasmine sambac flower character sitting at the top and entwined with the fruity notes that are again orange blossom orientated. As time progresses further it turns into an all out clean fresh and creamy sweet white floral affair that is utterly gorgeous and my definition of total white-floral perfection. The power is supported of course by an indolic through to animalic engine almost but even though it is the fuel that gives this so much power and amplified impact, it only reveals itself as a heavenly joyous floral aesthetic at all times.
On the strip the scent is present at its best for approximately 30 hours and takes in the region of 70 hours before it has completely faded away. On my skin type from a generous single swipe on my forearm I get nearly 9 hours of noticeable wear. Produced by alcohol extraction from the concrete, golden yellow amber in colour, perfectly alcohol soluble and also perfectly oil soluble.
Regarding uses, again like some other florals, I really feel we have a perfume in its own right but this aromatic blends well with other white florals including magnolia, tuberose, gardenia and ylang ylang. Sits beautifully as a heart note within compositions that contain sandalwood, patchouli, benzoins, and Siam wood in the base. A must for neroli, orange blossom and true to life jasmine accords, especially those who want the power and radiance without relying on synthetics. Whether it’s Oriental, Chype, Fougere or all out floral themed creations, this Chinese jasmine sambac can be everyone’s best friend.”

I have smelled many types of Jasmin oils, absolutes etc. This one really stands out. It is intense – a few drops go a long long way in a 10ml composition full of other potent essential oils. It is lush, loud, luminous and nevertheless devoid of any pretentious notes. It is deep and intense, full-rounded and mature. This oil has a soft animalic tonality which is not unpleasant in anyway. I highly recommend.

The most amazing jasmine absolute we encountered. As potent as the other ones, if not more, it adds subtelty without losing the expected ‘over-the-top’ jasmine profile.
It deserves the Signature Gold label, it would even deserve a new label of its own…

Jasmine monster! So beautiful? So clear? So clean? Yes..my previous sambac jasmines were nice, but they were not monsters in the best sense of the word. This one has enormous power, a strong and not at all disgusting jasmine. No need to describe my version, Adam described it perfectly. He is the king who has won another customer. Me!

I LOVE jasmine and especially Jasmine sambac. This sambac absolute is by far the BEST sambac I’ve ever smelled. So much so that I’m not sure I could go back to the Indian stuff ever again.
PS: I’m wearing it neat on my skin while I burn pure Omani Frankincense tears on charcoal. I’m in heaven!

This brings you into a fairy tale. A lovely yet profound one. Extremely powerful. I use a bit of it in everything.

The most beautiful sambac I have tried. No words can describe it. So addictive…You can’t go back once you find this one.

The BEST jasmine sumbac there is! As a kid, I spent 5 years living with my grandma in Suzhou China; where Jasmine Sumbac and white chamcapa were very popular local flowers. Girls wear them during the blooming season. Not a perfumer by any means, but I can testify to this oil, after trying 15+ different sources, I finally located a whiff of my favorite childhood memories! :-0)

Ooooh…such a gorgeous Jasmine!
This absolute is the finest Jasmine that I’ve experienced, hands down. It has a lovely, complex heart that balances the hypnotic indole effects with stately floral magic.
Truly a world-class substance…one of my Top 25 favorite Hermitage offerings.

Very beautiful Jasmine. When I wear this, people swoon because it makes them think of honeysuckle vines from their childhood. I don’t find it as sweet as honeysuckle. To me this is the most lovely and three dimensional musky jasmine you could ever want. Super long-lasting. Better than any Sambac I have ever tried.

If you are new to jasmine ingredients – try this one first!
Best Jasmine Sambac I witnessed. It is uniquely potent, but with airy and watery feel to it.
A masterpiece and it is very easy to use both for perfume and aromatherapy compositions.

Mighty, intense, piercing in its genuine ultra-purity and redolent density – as essential as it gets (precisely described by Adam), and because of it this head-spinning, mind-boggling ‘Monstre Sacré’ of Jasmine should not be evaluated in the compressed state – for its incredibly rich, dazzling projection needs space and a lot of it, so it can spread its grand radiant aromatic ‘wings’ for a full display of its Splendor –
of the tropically bountiful Treasure Trove of intoxicating exotic florality, turned in every note and shade of its lavish scent to the EPIC scale indeed.
Due to its flamboyant euphoric effects over senses and mind-stirring power, I nickname this Sambac ‘Gilgamesh’ – a mythical king-hero on a quest to master the primal forces of the Universe…
NASSER A (verified owner) –
From my extensive experience in the field of perfume design, I believe this type of jasmine is one of the most beautiful varieties I have encountered, and I still prefer it over many other types. It is characterized by having fewer animalic notes and higher floral and fruity notes compared to others, making it truly worth purchasing.
It blends wonderfully with citrus fruits like lemon and bergamot, as well as white flowers and Damask rose.

Speechlessly, this the only holy grail of jasmine sambac. So rich, abundant and deeply narcotic, definitely multi-aspect. Crystal and creamy at the same time, and so strong. It can be added in everything and make it more beautiful
