An accord is a geometry. Jasmine is rose, jasmine, sandalwood, oud, vetiver, musk or amber stacked on purpose.
Naturals and molecules share the same pyramid; IFRA draws some of the lines.
Accords
- Grasse absolute — Indolic grandiflorum, waxy, tea-green.
- Sambac night — Banana, heady, less “cologne jasmine”.
- Hedione air — Transparent jasmine for modern eaux.
- Sandal-jasmine — Samsara geometry.
- Aldehydic jasmine — No. 5’s sparkle over Grasse flowers.
Materials
- Jasmine grandiflorum abs. — Egypt and leftover Grasse; the “French” profile.
- Jasmine sambac abs. — India, Southeast Asia; mogra.
- Hedione / Hedione HC — The air molecule; HC is richer.
- Indole — Living-flower and decay, depending on dose.
- Benzyl acetate — Fruity-jasmine ester, easy to cheapen the accord.
- Ylang extra — Fattens a thin jasmine heart.
Smell the materials before you trust a note list on a box of Jasmine.
