Jasmine, : Sambac east
Choose Jasmine by the note, not by the bottle photo. “Sambac east” in titles that note, and 1 is strength or time. Shop lighting is not lasting power. Sambac or grandiflorum — cream by day, animal gold after dusk.
Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter. IFRA sets industry limits on some naturals and synthetics. A reformulation is usually a legal edit, not a betrayal. This atlas is not a safety sheet.
Any ethics or materials I should know? Read the materials chapter for the actual load. Niche and designer often share a family and disagree on dose. No. This atlas is cultural and editorial.

Jasmine did not arrive as one bottle. The timeline below keeps Grasse, Guerlain, Chanel, Nahéma and IFRA as proper names, not metaphors. Read the years as a map of trade and reformulation, not as a ranking of beauty. Jasminum sambac moves through South and Southeast Asia as hair and rite flower.
On the blotter, keep , “Sambac east,” and 1. Without them Jasmine blurs.1
