Appearance

The flowers are about 2.5 cms in diameter and form an umbel-like cluster at the terminal branches.

Odor

Their delightful fragrance is somewhat reminiscent of orange flower, honeysuckle and gardenia, although not strictly indolic of character.

Uses in perfumery

The Plumeria Absolute would undoubtedly find application in fine perfumery along with the absolutes of jasmine, tuberose, orange flower, ylang-ylang, etc. for sweet-floral, rich and natural notes, in neroli-modifications, fantasy bouquets, Oriental florals, etc.

Production

Further experiments are now being carried out in India of the flowers of Plumeria Acutifolia, and in China on the flowers of other species. It is possible that petroleum ether extracts (concrétes) and absolutes may become available in the near future.
