Jasminum Flexile (also known as Taruni) is native to India. It is a rare and quite expensive variant of jasmine for perfumery but perhaps the best of all the jasmines—surpassing even Sambac. Thanks to the excellent comparative study done by Norbert A. Braun, Birgit Kohlenberg, Sherina Sim, Manfred Meier and Franz-Josef Hammerschmidt (all from Symrise), I was able to put together an accord based on both the headspace analysis of the flowers of Jasminum Flexile and the chemical constituents analysis...

Anything to substitute for the P-cresol, I have m-cresol though?
Para cresyl acetate is what I’d use – though it isn’t going to be quite the same. P-Cresol is very powerful – more so than PC acetate – so you may need to increase the acetate.
Good advice, thank you for your help
You’re welcome 🙂
The Cis 3 Hexenol Acetate .. can I use Montaverdi 10%, according to Pellwall its similar and 10 times stronger?
I’ve found the Cis 3 Hexenol acetaat at Hexapus, but Montaverdi could be interesting.
Things like the cis-3 family are incredibly useful – I strongly recommend you buy them (at least the hexenol and hexenyl acetate) at some point. You could try the Monteverdi to see what effect it has.
Quick Question for you Jamie. When you use phenyl acetaldehyde, is it 50%? Or are you using it pure? I want to make sure im following the formula correctly. In my experience I’ve only been able to source it as 50%. Thanks!
In this case pure. Sometimes I use it at 50% in PEA but not for this formula.
Hi Jamie, the dimethyl sulfide is still very present after blending the main formula.
I’ve made the trace element base a week ago and the DMS was very present in the blend. After mixing a the part of the micro base into the main formula today I could still smell the DMS. Is it going to soften “disappear” after a while?
I’ve used a Pellwall dilution of 0,1 % DMS and added a factor 10 more = 400 In this formula to reach 1%
It will disappear – DMS can take up to a week in my experience to meld fully into a formula.
Forgive me for asking: you’re sure the percentage of DMS in this formula is 1%?
I could still smell it after 2 weeks, but not very strong though, seems it softens.
I double checked my notes and that is what is written but it was some time ago that I wrote it. It is possible the bottle of DMS I bought was pre-diluted without it being noted on the bottle or that I made an error myself in diluting – I usually buy it diluted these days. It is often sold as 100% or 1% – I’d suggest trying the smaller amount first to see how that goes. Unfortunately I have moved house and don’t have the original stock so I can’t even open it to try to make a guess… Read more »
Thanks, that’d make sense.
Next time it’ll be with 0,1% DMS, let’s see how that changes things.
