Aromatic Profile
A powerful nocturnal-floral heart with dense sweetness and high impact. Flower-headspace research identifies benzaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde and benzyl acetate among key scent substances, but that headspace profile is not the specification of this commercial extract.
Perfumery Direction
- Pairs with white florals, rose, ylang-ylang, citrus, sandalwood, woods, spices and resins.
- Useful in nocturnal floral, intoxicating white-flower, incense and dramatic oriental accords.
- Start at trace level because the source describes the material as very strong.
Formulation & Usage
Traditional-use claims and research on methanolic leaf, flower or saponin fractions do not establish benefits for this aromatic extract. Non-volatile steroidal saponins found in plant extracts should neither be assumed absent nor present without a product-specific analysis.
Required Verification

- Confirm that the product is suitable for the intended cosmetic, fragrance or incense route.

Fine Perfumery
For high-impact nocturnal-floral, white-flower and dramatic oriental accords after full material verification.

No matter how organic and clean the oil may be, I could never tolerate regular jasmine— I find it way too perfumy. My teacher told me about nightblooming jasmine and how different and heavenly it is. I decided to give it a shot and found this brand. Upon first inhale— I was taken back by the high quality aroma and the velvety notes of this essence. It did not produce a headache that normal jasmine does for me, instead it soothed my nerves and harmonized my breath. It was indeed— heavenly. I highly recommend this oil and can’t wait to explore this brand’s other offerings.
