What is Sambac jasmine?
Two varieties of jasmine are mainly used in perfumery: Grandiflorum jasmine, which can be found in Grasse and Egypt, and Sambac jasmine, mainly grown in India. Sambac jasmine has a greener scent, while Egyptian jasmine is fruitier and sweeter. Grasse jasmine, meanwhile, is more jammy and petal-like. What distinguishes Sambac jasmine physically is its large number of petals, which greatly outnumber Grandiflorum jasmine’s five.
