We finally found a Jasmine sambac farmer distiller who is willing to work with us to give us the quality we demand. It takes one person four hours to pick one kilo of flowers this produces around 1 ml of oil!!

For over two years, we were not able to find any Jasmine sambac sambac which met with our strict standards, even though we have tested countless samples. All of the samples tested have had high levels of pesticides, Benzene, phthalates and/or too much ethanol, hexane or pentane, which are cheap alcohol's used in the extraction process, which were left in finished product. We can almost guarantee that if you are not buying Kobashi Jasmine sambac, what you are really getting is a cocktail containing any or more likely all of the above, or worse, a synthetic or natural chemical concoction. Many of the samples we have tested you would have been happy with, as phthalates/ pesticides have no aroma, and ethanol which is widely employed in the perfume industry, tends to 'smooth' a fragrance and generally enhance the aroma.
