Pell Wall Perfumes: Fresh, floral-jasmine, sweet, clean
Arctander, writing very soon after it became available and before it’s full potential has been realised has this to say of it: “this ester, only recently brought into the market as a commercially available perfume chemical, is intended for use in artificial jasmin absolute, jasmin and tuberose bases, and as a trace additive in powerfully floral fragrances. it serves as an economical substitute for methyl jasmonate (see monograph), but does not have the overwhelming sweetness and diffusive power of that material.” by the time arcadi boix camps is writing about it in 1978 it has already seen use in many successful fragrances. he says it is “the compound that without a doubt has most influenced modern perfumery and has allowed the great artists to develop their ideas with inspiration. it was used for the first time in eau sauvage and in diorissimo, and it has become famous because it gives to compositions a delicate, fresh, smooth, radiant, warm, elegant character that blends well with all kinds of perfumes from floral-citrics to woody, chypre and oriental.”
