Jasmine absolute is a fragrance extract for use in, for example, perfume, cosmetics, and air fresheners.

Use

Jasmine absolute has a sweet scent reminiscent of jasmine, lilac, but also cattle in the meadow or leather. The fragrance is not particularly strong, therefore jasmine absolute can be used undiluted. Making a dilution is not unusual because it is an expensive substance, but in practice it is not very useful. It is a versatile substance that goes especially well with floral accords of flowers such as jasmine, daffodil, lilac. In addition, in tropical fruit scents and of course in amber perfumes. You usually use between 0.1% and 5% of this substance in the fragrance composition. Do not use too little: if it does not contribute to the odor quality of the end product, it is better to leave it out. On the other hand, it can have a significant impact on a scent, often already in a somewhat lower dose. It is mainly a heart and base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, also in soap it is fairly stable, although it is usually not used in them because of the price.

Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
