Sampaguita, the name for Filipino / sambac jasmine, is a fragrance reminiscent of the country’s national flower.
It is a tropical shrub that blooms in the natural climate throughout the whole year. Its blossoms, unlike other types of jasmine, are smaller but with a much stronger scent. It unfolds during the evening and stays in its beauty only one day.
Since 1934, it has been a national flower in the Philippines and symbolizes hope, purity, devotion, loyalty, and strength.
Candles containing extracts are used to cleanse the homes and to expel dark spirits. It is also an example of the fact that even in such a short time, that the blossom of this flower has, anything or anyone can bring a positive impact on its surroundings.
