Jasmine Sambac Absolute – Jasmine Sambac from India
Sambac is a key ingredient in luxury perfumes and oil blends. To be Sambac is walk down the memory lane, I recollect memories of my home surrounded by Jasmine climbers. The weddings, where the bride and grooms are adorned with garlands made with Jasmine, and the women who wear Jasmine in their hair which sinks into their ornamental silk garments. It is like a garden in full bloom, just beautiful!
The scent of Sambac is greener and fresher than jasmine grandiflorum, intense floral, sweet, slight musky and blends beautifully with fruity or marine accords. Sambac is joyful, Jasmine sambac absolute is also used in woody or oriental bases. As soon as I smell Sambac i just forget all my worries, as it has such an amazing calming effect.
