A rich narcotic white-floral absolute with a heady jonquil/narcissus character — intensely green and hay-like at first, opening into indolic sweetness with honeyed and slightly animalic facets. Deep, warm, and persistent, evoking damp spring petals and crushed stems.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Jonquil Absolute from Concréte is a viscous, dark brown or dark orange to olive-brown liquid.

Odor

heavy, honeylike, deep-sweet floral odor with a strong green undertone and a somewhat bitter, very tenacious dryout note.

Uses in perfumery

Jonquil absolute blends excellently with jasmin, violet leaf absolute, orange flower absolute, longoza, ylang-ylang and other heavy florals, or with powerful green-floral absolutes.

Production

The flowers are extracted with petroleum ether to yield a concréte which in turn is processed to an absolute.
