Jasmine absolute
Description
Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum sambac) is one of the most highly prized ingredients in world natural perfumery - and for well-founded reasons. Its floral-sensual, warm aroma, with honeyed and powdery depths, is considered by perfumers to be one of the most complex and captivating in the plant kingdom.
Charming, inimitable floral, with green and powdery notes, rich and sensual, a splendidly generous element for cosmetic and perfumery creations. It is considered uplifting and aphrodisiac, with a unique scent entirely its own.
A biochemical detail that explains the fascination: the absolute contains indole - a molecule also present in human pheromones, responsible for the hypnotic and slightly animalic quality of the aroma at low concentrations. At high concentrations, the same molecule can generate an unpleasant note, which is why jasmine is dosed minimally and benefits from aging in dilution.
air Olfactory profile: Intensely floral, exotic, sweet-warm, with notes of honey, lilac, and a slightly powdery-animalic undertone. Round and deep, with an evolution on the skin that differs from the scent in the bottle. A heart note with good longevity.

Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: Why did I notice an unpleasant, almost chemical note upon first use?
A: This is a common experience at concentrations that are too high. The indole in the composition becomes unpleasant at high doses. The solution is proper dilution (1-2% is sufficient in a perfume, 0.1-0.5% in cosmetics) and aging: a formula with jasmine absolute left for a few weeks rounds out and loses its initial harshness.
Q: Does the absolute last on the skin or disappear quickly?
A: On the skin directly or in cosmetic formulas (creams, oils, balms), the persistence is very good. In ultrasonic or steam diffusers, the heavy molecules of the absolute do not vaporize efficiently, and the aroma seems to disappear quickly. Jasmine works best when applied to the skin, not diffused.
