Cremefleur

What Cremefleur smells like

Perfumiarz, naming Bedoukian as the maker, quotes Bedoukian's "powerful, warm jasmine with milky undertones" and describes a creamy jasmine with a distinct buttery, milky texture, fruity and warm, with coconut and peach softness in the background. Bedoukian's own listing, as search results quote it, calls it a melange of fruity floral and soft milky notes for skin care and fine fragrance.

What makes Cremefleur distinctive

Jasmine made creamy: a floral molecule whose milky, buttery side reads as much dairy as flower.

Concentration and dilution

Perfumiarz recommends working with a 1% dilution because of its very high intensity.

Where the descriptions disagree: Perfumiarz lists it as a pale yellow liquid; Stort Group as colourless.

How Cremefleur is used

Used in small amounts to give white florals a creamy, milky body and to bridge florals with gourmand and dairy notes.

Typical role: modifier (used in small amounts to change the character of a blend).

How Cremefleur differs from similar materials

Jessemal

Jessemal is a creamy, petal-like jasmine with a herbal celery nuance; Cremefleur's creaminess is milkier and more buttery, with coconut and peach softness.

Each difference compares the published descriptions of the two materials. Smell varies with grade, supplier and dilution; compare them side by side on blotters before substituting one for another.

Formulation considerations

Very intense: a supplier recommends working from a 1% dilution. Descriptions of its colour differ between suppliers (pale yellow or colourless).
