A white floral, indolic

Teaching accord A teaching accord for learning: not a commercial perfume formula, not a finished perfume, not safety-assessed; do not make it for skin.

Indole is the lesson: at a trace it makes the flower heady and alive; at more than a trace it turns animal. The trace here is a teaching part, not a measured one.

The record

Each field carries its evidence: open a chip for the source, the quoted words and the confidence. A field with nothing behind it says so and stays empty.

Structure

An indolic white floral: jasmine absolute with its main volatile, benzyl acetate, a fresh jasmonate and a trace of indole.

Components

Under each component, the evidence for its place in the accord. Teaching parts are a house interpretation for learning: modeled, not measured, not a formula.

Component	Role	Teaching parts	Volatility
Jasmine absolute perfumery convention the trade’s shared vocabulary; no single source the trade’s convention confidence B	heart documented Floral notes, such as rose, jasmine, orange blossom, or lavender, are typically middle notes defining the “heart” of many perfumes KLE-1 · Kleoff et al. (2022). Synthesis of odorants in flow and their applications in perfumery · read 2026-09-30 the review names jasmine among the floral heart notes confidence A	45 parts modeled modeled teaching proportions, a house interpretation for learning: modeled, not measured, not a formula, not for making confidence C	not on record why no volatility class on record for jasmine-absolute
Benzyl acetate documented Benzyl acetate was the main volatile constituent in purchased J. grandiflorum concrete and absolute JAS-2 · Yassen et al. (2026). Comparative analysis of flower volatiles from four Jasminum species growing in Egypt using multivariate analysis · read 2026-09-30 confidence A	heart perfumery convention the trade’s shared vocabulary; no single source the trade’s top / heart / base convention for this material confidence B	30 parts modeled modeled teaching proportions, a house interpretation for learning: modeled, not measured, not a formula, not for making confidence C	not on record why no volatility class on record for benzyl-acetate
Methyl dihydrojasmonate perfumery convention the trade’s shared vocabulary; no single source the trade’s convention; its fresh, slightly floral scent is documented on the molecule record (KLE-1) confidence B	heart documented hedione (methyl dihydrojasmonate), … has a fresh, citric and slightly floral scent – but is commonly categorized as a middle note KLE-1 · Kleoff et al. (2022). Synthesis of odorants in flow and their applications in perfumery · read 2026-09-30 the review: "commonly categorized as a middle note" confidence A	22 parts modeled modeled teaching proportions, a house interpretation for learning: modeled, not measured, not a formula, not for making confidence C	not on record why no volatility class on record for methyl-dihydrojasmonate
Indole perfumery convention the trade’s shared vocabulary; no single source the component is a named constituent of jasmine absolute (that record’s identity field); the page names indole as “jasmine’s signature molecule”; no GC analysis of jasmine absolute is filed (an open question), so this stays the trade’s convention confidence B	trace perfumery convention the trade’s shared vocabulary; no single source the trade’s top / heart / base convention for this material confidence B	3 parts modeled modeled teaching proportions, a house interpretation for learning: modeled, not measured, not a formula, not for making confidence C	not on record why no volatility class on record for indole

Substitutions

• For jasmine absolute: Without the absolute: more benzyl acetate with the indole, a reconstruction of its main line and nothing more. (Benzyl acetate)
