Short profile
A dense jasmine floral character combines honeyed sweetness with pronounced indolic and animalic depth. Fruity nuances, including banana, sit within a warm, waxy texture; the supplier describes the concrete as fuller and less sharp than the absolute. A dry tea-like impression marks the lingering phase. The page rates odour strength at 5/10 and presence within a blend at 6/10, but does not provide a timed opening-to-heart blotter evaluation.
Effect in a formula
Use it to build a substantial white-floral body with warm, indolic depth. Alongside citrus it supports a brighter opening, while in chypre and amber-oriental structures it contributes fullness. The retained waxes soften the sharper aspects of the extract and are described as extending its persistence.
Use and dosage
The supplier gives 0.1–2% in the finished fragrance, expressed as absolute equivalent, particularly for jasmine, tuberose and chypre work. This is not a stated dosage for untreated concrete in a fragrance concentrate, and the page supplies no concentrate-level conversion. These figures are formulation guidance, not an IFRA limit.
No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.
Behaviour and performance
- Tenacity
- The page reports 280 hours of blotter substantivity, attributing the figure to TGSC. Evaluation dilution and other test conditions are not specified; elsewhere the page gives a less specific description of medium persistence over hours.
Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.
Dissolving and diluting
- Solvents
- The solvent options listed are ethanol with gentle warming and subsequent filtration, benzyl benzoate, and DPG with only partial solubility. Ethanol does not retain the plant waxes in solution, so unfiltered concrete can produce precipitation in alcoholic fragrances. Direct incorporation into oil or wax products is described, but the page warns that oil preparations remain cloudy; compatibility should not be read as clear solubility.
- Working dilution
- Prepare a 10% ethanol working stock using gentle warmth, followed by chilling and filtration to remove precipitated wax. For smelling, the supplier also suggests 1%, without separately identifying the solvent for that evaluation strength.
- Appearance
- Yellow-brown, wax-rich material with a room-temperature consistency ranging from solid to a soft, ointment-like mass.
