Short profile
A fresh jasmine character is accompanied by peach-like fruitiness and a green herbal accent. Its texture is rounded and soft, with a modest fatty quality and a celery nuance that gives the floral character a more vegetal aspect. Compared with Gessalone, the supplier describes a less volatile profile with greater fruity and fatty emphasis while retaining the jasmine identity. Odour strength is reported as medium; the page does not describe a stage-by-stage blotter evolution or a distinct dry-down character.
Effect in a formula
Provides body to jasmine and fruit compositions, combining a rounded floral centre with green and peach-like accents. Its reported stability makes it useful for maintaining a jasmine impression in soap and alkaline formulations where more delicate jasmonates can degrade. The supplier also identifies peach, tuberose and chypre compositions as suitable settings for its fruity-floral contribution.
Use and dosage
The supplier gives 0.5–5% of the fragrance concentrate as its usual range, particularly for floral or jasmine compositions and fragrances intended for soap or alkaline products. A separate laboratory note gives 0.1–2% in the finished fragrance; this is a different stated basis and should not be treated as a concentrate range. These are formulation recommendations, not IFRA limits.
