A rich, creamy tropical white floral with a heady, narcotic quality reminiscent of frangipani blossoms. Opens with a fresh, slightly fruity-green facet before settling into a lush, sweet, almost coconut-tinged floral heart with soft powdery undertones.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Odor

The odor is reminiscent of neroli and gardenia, tremendously sweet, yet fresh and suave, but tenacious beyond measure.

Uses in perfumery

The absolute finds use in finer perfumery as a powerful and versatile floral ingredient for honeysuckle, gardenia, tuberose, lilac, muguet, etc. or in various fantasy-bouquets, heavy-Oriental florals, etc.

Production

In China, the Plumeria Rubra has lately been treated with volatile solvents to yield a concrete from the flowers. An absolute is produced from the concrete by alcohol washing.
