I always thought Jasmine was not my scent – too indolic and “vulgar” to my nose. This j. sambac is gorgeous, even on its own. As a heart with ylang ylang and roses it adds elegance to the accord. Interestingly I was thinking to add a minute of indol to the blend but Jasmine sambac itself is such a rounder that it balances the accord perfectly. Loved it.

Powerful stuff. It goes beautifully well with the ruh of J. sambac, making the combination even more enticing and headier.
The possibilities are endless, just go easy on it as little goes a long way. For e.g., a few drops of it and rose (otto) in 2 grams of sandalwood makes it a beautifully light floral attar.

This jasmine sambac is truly one of the most lovely sweet and long lasting abs that i found after searching in many stores in Europe and USA..truly great stuff and i used it with all the jasmine i bought from Adam to create a magnificent attar with his sandalwood EO
So happy

Sometimes I take this Sambac and the Jasmine Absolute and sniff both together. What happens is beyond comprehension. The sheer quality of this oil transports you into the source of where the flower came from. It is such a unifying transcendent experiencing, You question who you are in that very moment.

Powerful and a perfect ingredient for perfume formulas. On its own it smells great but in a formula the magic happens if mixed well with the right components such as Rose absolute and other florals ..not indolic at all

Sambac at its best ! (I have tried many.) Heady and indolic. Use it sparingly and diluted, though. This one is a strong little guy…

I’ve always bought Jasmin grandiflorum. It was the most beautiful jasmine for me, but Sambac – it’s another class. Grandiflorum is playful, fruity, cheerful..but Sambac is more serious, honest and more mysterious. I enjoy it very much. Even a drop is enough.

I already had sambac in my collection and it was not as good as what I would read online about the material, so I thought I should order it from Hermitage to finally decide whether I like or dislike it once in for all. I’m glad I gave it another chance because it is absolutely amazing and light years ahead of anything you can buy on amazon etc.

Someone once said that you can’t make perfume without the addition of jasmine. It’s the greatest Jasmine we’ve smelled, wonderful, sensual, luxurious and at the same time modern and beautiful. Like other people who have commented, we recommend with all our heart, Perfect component of a larger composition! We definitely need to order a lot more! A real treasure, we can’t imagine life without it! Best regards. Artur & Aurelya

Jasmine is an easy loving material. The Sambac one is a fresher, fruity, greener take on this classic. Yet it has it’s own personality. Very nice in combination with citrus oils, especially red mandarin that compliments well it’s methyl anthranilate content.

Have you ever heard a Chinese folk song？
What a jasmine brimming with beauty!

Aromas round twigs dance glee.
It’s sweet ‘n white, all praise highly.
Please allow me to pick thee,
as a gift ne’er twee.
Jasmine , yeah, Jasmine .

This could just be me, but bizarrely there is something about sambac that reminds of the bubblegum flavouring that you used to get in those dodgy blue drinks… but in a good way! This has sweet, fun, tutti-frutti vibes atop a serious, luxury white blossom. There are traces of exotic spice plus a very delicate, watery green note lurking in the backdrop that all in all make this oil magically multifaceted.
Each time I order this jasmine sambac from Hermitage the quality seems even better than the last, which only goes to show how Ella and Adam continually strive to improve upon perfection. I often find with jasmine materials that, beyond indole, there is an off note that doesn’t quite agree with my nose; thankfully this doesn’t show its face here. This is clean and pure, whilst maintaining a deeply narcotic hedonism.

If I could only take 5 oils to my desert island then Jasmine Sambac would be one of them. For me however, this offering does not contain the cant-get-enough-of-it honeyed orange blossom notes that I am addicted to with Jasmine Sambac. For me, a Sambac should be a powerful heady predominantly orange rich, juicy experience with an indolic undertone. This material seems to offer little of that excitement and instead heads straight to the undertone – whereas if that was my aim I would probably head over to Jasmine Abs for that.
