Jasmine sambac

Jasmine sambac belongs to the category of white floral notes and is an oriental species of jasmine flower originating from the region between Bhutan and India. In character, it is sweeter and muskier, sometimes almost animalic, compared to common jasmine, but can also (especially in its synthetic form) take on a greener, fresher, and fruitier character, making it a more exotic choice than traditional jasmine.

Jasmine sambac is a popular white floral note in Asian brands like Japanese Di Ser, but also favored by French perfumers. In natural medicine, it is often used in aromatherapy and as an aphrodisiac.
