Description
Jasmine Grandiflorum - Absolute Oil is a concentrated aromatic material with rich jasmine petals, fruit, and warm indolic depth at its centre. The profile is distinctive enough to redirect a blend, so it works best when given a clear purpose rather than added as general decoration.
Over time, tea, honey, and a rounded narcotic floral trace becomes more apparent. This makes the material valuable in jasmine accords, white florals, ambers, soaps, body oils, and fine fragrance, where it may supply the focal note, deepen the middle or add weight to the base.
Introduce it gradually and allow the formula to rest between trials. At the right level, it brings definition and texture; at an excessive level, it can feel animalic, heady, or overpowering. Check suitability for the intended application.

Cautions
It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance - particularly the rare and exotic notes - become lost.
