Frangipani Absolute Oil
Frangipani Absolute Oil has a warm, rounded floral aroma with soft creamy sweetness, light spice and a gentle woody undertone. The scent unfolds gradually and sits mainly in the heart of blends, where it is used as a floral modifier or soft anchor rather than a sharp or highly diffusive note.

Typical Uses of Frangipani Absolute Oil

Common uses include:
Perfumery and fine fragrance compositions as a floral heart or modifier
Cosmetic scenting in creams, oils, balms and solid perfumes

Handling and Working Dilution
Frangipani Absolute Oil may feel slightly viscous and its aroma clarity improves significantly once diluted.
If needed, gently warming the closed bottle in the hands can assist with measuring.
Preparing a 1% working dilution in perfumer’s alcohol or a suitable carrier oil is recommended for accurate dosing during formulation.
