White Florals scent notes

White florals are the heady, creamy flowers: jasmine, tuberose, gardenia and orange blossom. They share an indolic richness that makes them smell lush, and a little sultry after dark.

White florals sit in the heart of a blend, and they suit neroli, marine notes and violet. Real jasmine and tuberose absolutes are rare and costly, so most white florals are built from molecules like benzyl acetate and hedione. Some white floral fragrance oils speed up trace in cold process soap; test a small batch first.
