Jasmine Sambac “Signature” Absolute

Out of the numerous absolutes from Jasminum sambac that I’ve smelled over the decades, this one from Floral Concept stands out in a good way. In my experience, many Sambac absolutes struggle to capture the scent of fresh flowers. Instead, they often have a somewhat heavy and musty musk note, which combined with a honey-like sweetness, gives a somewhat distorted impression of the scent. Anyone who has smelled blooming Jasminum sambac will know what I mean, as the fresh flowers give off an amazingly clear and fresh scent. - The Jasmin sambac absolute from Floral Concept, in my observation, also has a comparatively fresh and clear scent with a rather low musk impact. It's clean, fresh-floral with clearly pronounced green and citrus-fruity accents. The scent of the fresh flowers is quite recognizable. For what it's worth, it's more convincing than Robertet's 'Sambac Heart' in my opinion.
