Jasmine Sambac

Jasmine sambac, also known as Arabian jasmine, is a variety of jasmine that is intensely sweet, green, and richly indolic. Compared to jasmine grandiflorum, sambac has a stronger, more narcotic sweetness with a distinctive tea-like quality — it is the variety used to scent jasmine tea.

Its scent is deeper, greener, and more animalic than other jasmine varieties. In perfumery, jasmine sambac adds an intense, lush floral richness that can anchor entire compositions.

It pairs beautifully with other white florals for opulent bouquets, with oud for exotic Middle Eastern luxury, with sandalwood for a creamy depth, with bergamot for classic elegance, and with vanilla for a rich oriental character. You will find jasmine sambac in many prestigious niche and designer fragrances.
