Floral extract
Jasmine CO₂ Extract
The floral where CO₂ has the most to prove — and the most to give. Conventional jasmine absolute is hexane-extracted and carries a residual solvent declaration all the way into the finished fragrance. This does not.
Specification
Jasmine CO₂ Extract at a glance
Jasmine has no commercial distilled route. Heat destroys it, so the trade has always gone through solvent: concrete first, then an ethanol wash to an absolute. It works, and it has produced most of the jasmine in perfumery for a century — but it leaves a residue to declare, and the ethanol wash takes some of the heavier floral weight with it.
We run fresh flower within hours of picking, at a pressure and temperature chosen to lift the benzyl acetate and the indole together. Indole is the compound that makes jasmine smell alive rather than sweet, and it is also the one that turns animalic when it is over-processed. Keeping the run cold is most of the job.
Available as a single-origin grandiflorum run, or as sambac where the brief calls for the greener, tea-like profile.
Marker figures are agreed against your requirement before we run, and every batch ships with its Certificate of Analysis.
