Jasmine Auriculatum Absolute
Eleonora Scalseggi has this to say “Definitely the most atypical among all jasmine materials, the very bold jasmine auriculatum absolute is far from being your regular jasmine. It has a very piercing top note, very grassy, wild, mysterious like a jungle creature, one that is fierce and past caring of being perceived as pretty or well behaved.
You will be able to detect also notes of jasmine petals and even of gardenia once the first blasts of grassy head notes have toned down a bit – but in its main body it will stay true to its rebellious self, always wild, heady, grassy, totally unexpected and foreign smelling, whilst the more familiar white flower waxy notes will sit in the background.
A material of outstanding tenacity, lasting for days and days on the smelling strip, and of great strength and projection for a natural material, Jasmine auriculatum absolute will give its best when used in trace amounts and not as a standalone floral material, unless you are a very daring perfumer!
A very transformative note, used in quite classic forest accords it will impart the vibe of a tropical jungle after a heavy rain, with all the warmth steaming through climbing vines and the canopy of trees. If you don’t believe me, just put a tiny drop on a smelling strip and take it for a walk in your local park or wood and smell for yourself! This material is great at adding lift, freshness and an element of surprise to white floral accords, and is even better with green floral and exotic themed compositions. Quite rare to see it offered, once again this dazzling material is not one for those looking for a classic smelling jasmine, although personally I find it to be the most brilliant addition of the month. If you are a daring individual and love the unusual, this is your must try jasmine.”
Adam Michael has this to say “First this is not the usual smelling jasmine material, it does not reveal a floral beauty straight from the bottle, it does not smell overly Jasmine like and it won’t wow you. It is important to write this because if you seek instant aromatic gratification from a raw material, this is not for you. To be clear though, I rate this material 10 out of 10 and if you read on I will try to explain.
The opening from the bottle or via a strip is a muddled mess of spice and foody qualities and of course indole aka the stinky stuff. And so because it is an ugly duckling I can imagine those with the depth of a bowl of porridge, closing the bottle and walking away.
However if you stick it out for 15 minutes, you will be heavily rewarded, comparable to discovering your own secret garden of pure paradise, or being sucked into a mind bending aromatic black hole for the afternoon, and returned safely home just in time to feed the cats and have a cup of warm milk before bedtime. This material oozes fantasy and is a pure pleasure ride of the absolute extreme for thrill seekers and floral lovers alike. This is more than a 10 out of 10 on the Adam Michael score card, this is the holy grail of florals, this material touches my core, it is like living the most magical and enchanting dream over and over again. It is like falling in love for the first time, kissing your crush, dancing in the rain, feeling so happy to be alive and wanting to live forever and ever. It is a material that creates and amplifies feelings of pure ecstasy.
From the 15 minute mark on the strip, the aroma wakes up, revealing wave after wave of lush creamy jasmine, so smooth, waxy, intense, true to the flowers, although not overly indolic, and with a huge dose of tropical grassy green and refined incense qualities. This is like smelling a mash up of jasmine grandiflorium, jasmine sambac, incense wood and ylang absolute. This is pure bliss and guess what, this lasts for nearly five full days on my smelling strip, mind officially blown. Jasmine auriculatum absolute reminds me once again that I truly have the greatest job in the world.
This is a powerhouse heart note and a must for creating jungle accords, tropical themes, Oriental notes, incense-floral creations, pairs spectacularly with heavy florals like champacas (especially red), jasmines, and everything incense orientated. Works wonders in trace amounts with with white florals like gardenia and magnolia – but again note the words “trace amounts” as too much and it will over power the creation, instead of bolstering and amplifying the beauty of the other materials. Produced by solvent extraction of the flowers, of a pourable viscosity and I 110% recommend this material.”

When i first opened the bottle i could say nothing but Wow – i was immediately transported into a fresh foreign countryside smelling something almost indescribable – a kind of Olong tea fermentation scent just entered my nostrils, i felt as if i was walking on my barefoot on a wet grass. A sense of Magic surrounded me like in a most beautiful fairytale were only love reigned – were i could smell one of the most wonderful flowers given as a gift from a King to his Queen.
It is my Best Good Morning scent everyday i wakeup :).
This Jasminum Auriculatum is simply voluptuous and i mean sensual, stimulant, lustful, indolic, carnal, super magnetic, dreamy, sublime, rich, complex and very very fresh with a hint of gardenia and it is somehow very erotic as well.
It is absolutely a Must in a perfumers collection to create a unisex fragrance.
Try it and you will never take your nose out of it. Really more than 10 out of ten rating.
I would call il Magic !

This lill wild fella is exactly as Adam described. A whole other sibling of what we know Jasmine to be. The wilder, dirtier, rebellious, outcast. The deep dirty jungle flower that demands some love and attention in order to be supported and developed into something wonderful and complete as far as a perfume composition is concerned. Unique. Very Unique.

Smell fits the discription. The initial smell is tuberose-like, which is very pleasant as well.

This is a repeat buy for me. Love this material. There is a great deal of true gardenia flower along with jasmine and a humid jungle atmosphere with a little grass. Very sensual, feral, narcotic and unrestrained. I actually like it from start to finish. The immediate application recalls a lot of grassy green character. The indole is detectable in the beginning and after it settles a bit, it gives a tidal wave of lusty feelings and elation. I feel like it begins unfolding from this stage pretty quickly toward the fresh gardenia and jasmine notes and you are floating in the midst of clouds made from velvet petals. It is just totally rapturous, a scent experience that fully encompasses your entire being. I feel it is highly aphrodisiac. I also detect a bit of tuberose and ylang ylang aroma and the indole starts to head into ambergris territory as it settles. It is a very complex material and I find it shows you different facets each time you sniff. It is also very strong so I find that a little can go along way in a composition.

Very high quality product. The most masculine type of jasmine, less floral and more green. Can be a little harsh, so little is enough, but certainly an exciting discovery.

Initially, J. auriculatum is sharp and herbal compared to the heady Jasmine Sambac. The initial greenness makes way for a delicate, gentle floral that is both beautiful and difficult to comprehend. It has notes of tuberose and gardenia, definitely reminding one of a wet, tropical rainforest. A beautiful oil for leather accords.

This is an incredible material. In the right quantity, this Jasminum Auriculatum smells like real jasmine flowers on the vine and jasmine-scented night air.
Whitney S. (verified owner) –
Very exotic and different, not your standard jasmine as Adam says. I am a Jasmine Sambac fan first and foremost, with Jasmine Absolute being a close second. Jasmine Auriculatum has this earthy, dirty, almost off-putting aroma that is alluring and delicious at the same time. Definitely a material I would use in masculine compositions or if attempting to create a dirtier version of the typical feminine jasmine perfume.

A wonderful jasmine scent. It’s sultry, but not intoxicating. Awesome!

A really fun, wild and exciting Jasmine!
I love the greenness, it feels very tropical. Fits the description really well! Very useful for unique and adventurous projects. It’s not only fun, it is also stunningly beautiful!

Translated with translate google:
Oh my God. I have just opened this jar of jasmine, and a stroke of emotion has blurred my eyes with tears: it is the jasmine that has led me to my Andalusian childhood, to the patio of the town house where my grandmother adorned her hair with biznagas ( sprigs of jasmine). Those same biznagas that you can buy in Malaga on summer nights. Thank you, Adam, for this absolute, which is the soul of time. Thank you very much because in so many of these oils you give us pure poetry, you give us back the shadows of lost days.

Lemon from an oak barrel. This was my first feeling when I opened the jasmine auriculatum bottle. In fact, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a breath of jasmine. New to me, unknown. Even after a few hours, I still smelled lemons, as well as soil acidity and tuberose. No fragile flower, solud rock! Anyway, I’m going to get to know him better. I still don’t know what he can offer me, but I won’t leave him alone until he shows up in full glory. I look forward to it.

Has made its way into a full third of the perfumes I’ve released onto the market, and frankly, it’s my favorite floral material on the planet—hands down. THAT SAID, I’m giving it 4/5 stars NOT because of how much I love it and depend on it, but because of what it drives in customer feedback: it’s CONSISTENTLY clocked as an ashtray note. While I know that my hand’s use of it must have something to do with that, the perfumes I’ve used this jasmine in are so utterly and completely different that I’m left with little else to conclude other than, well, yeah yeah, you (and I) could go on and on about all the various facets of this GODSENT GEM of a material, which are bountiful and surprising and everything we’d ever want in a natural fit for use in our perfumes. But be prepared to have customers mention that the work you use it in smells of an ashtray.
So if you’re cool with that (I am *very* cool with it), then proceed and be glad you did. I’m so glad I do. I love this stuff.
PS: just mentioning one more time, so there’s no confusion whatsoever, that this is my absolute favorite floral material I’ve ever found. It’s *perfect*.

A potent redolent luscious ‘Nocturnal Party Animal’. This Jasmine is voluminous, kaleidoscopic, bustling with nuances from suede to cream, from green tea to vivid hints of tuberose and musk rose. Its projection (the character which it presents) changes by the distance from the source, pulsating from heady-heavy to gossamer-ethereal
– it’s like first watching a mesmerizing dancer from a distance, then being sucked in by a seductive rythmic sway of the music as you get closer, and then finally you are swinging in palpable excitement and in total abandonement immersed in Mambo-Milonga-House vibes, till you get vertiginous, and hot – in the euphoric embrace of that dancer, sensually spellbound and enthralled. Aphrodisiac and antidepressant par excellence.
