In Omani studies: Miller & Morris (1988) wrote that: "This straggly and rambling shrub with its beatutifully fragrant flowers is very common throughout the woodlands of Dhofar, trailing in and out of other trees and shrubs, and can be found in flower throughout the year. The sweetly perfumed flowers were appreciated locally for their scent and for the protective properties against disease and infection that all sweet-smelling plants were believed to possess. Bees love the jasmine plants, and the honey from these flowers is pale and clear and delicately fragrant. Medicinally, the leaves were pounded to a paste used as a soothing dressing for burns where these were not too severe, such as the surface burns resulting from the light branding carried out on a patient for medicinal reasons. The same paste was also packed into a deep wound, or smeared over a suppurating one, to disinfect and cleanse it.

The growing tips and stems were used to sweeten an ill-smelling or tainted leather container, especially a milk - or butter-skin, by crushing them to a paste, putting this into the container and then rubbing the leather hard and roling it back and forth over a flat surface [J: fhoz] until all trace of smell had left it and the skin was once more supple and smooth. Goats strange to the woodland area, coming into it from the drier areas to enjoy the post-monsoon grazing, and browsing the foliage of this plant occasionally passed blood in their urine as a result, and their herders discouraged them from browsing it. Indeed, herders often called this plant [J: ba al dohr], 'the bleeder', because of this. Other livestock ignore it". (Ref. Plants of Dhofar). In addition, Richardson & Dorr (2003) mentioned that: "The processing of leather in Southern Oman is an art in itself, made possible by the abundance of indigenous plant materials available for the use of artisns. These include not only a wide variety of agents for hair-removal and tanning, but other materials for leather treatment which are not utilised elsewhere in Oman. For example, the underbark of the frankincense tree is often used to deodorise leather and to improve its suppleness and pliability. Jasmine is also used as a suppleness agent and to impart fragrance". (Ref. The Craft Heritage of Oman). Further, Pickering, H. Patzelt, A. (2008) stated that: "Flowers are widely used as a perfume, the leaves have disinfectant medicinal properties". (Ref. Field Guide to the Wild Plants of Oman; 2008). Furthermore, Ghazanfar (2015) wrote that: "The flowers are fragrant and appreciated locally for their scent, and often cultivated in homes. The leaves of this species have been used in traditional medicine to treat dysentery, abdominal pain and colic; also used as an emollient. Several species of Jasminum, especially J. sambac (simple leaved shrub) is widely cultivated in private gardens for the fragrant flowers". (Ref. Flora of Oman; vol.3).
