Perfume and Flavor Materials of Natural Origin, page 199.
Jasmin Absolute from Chassis is a viscous, very dark orange or chocolate-brown liquid.
It has a peculiar odor, only faintly reminiscent of jasmin absolute from concréte or of the jasmin flower itself. It resembles somewhat the odor of orange flower absolute: warm, sweet, heavy, tenacious, fatty-floral, slightly herbaceous and deep-fruity, but less indolic-sharp than the odor of the jasmin flower itself.
In use, it cannot replace the absolute from concréte, but it does find application in floral bases where a non-indolic jasmin effect is called for. Its extremely rich and tenacious body lends a natural quality to perfume compositions where synthetic materials may tend to produce rough notes.
This is actually a by-product of the enfleurage process, and the annual amount of available chassis-absolute is obviously very small. Furthermore, it is constantly decreasing with the lessening use of the enfleurage method.
