Benzyl acetate – This is the component that imparts some of the floral attributes to the fragrance. Breathe it and see if you can sense its apple-like contribution.
Benzyl benzoate – Also found in cinnamon and ylang ylang fragrances, this has a sense of warmth to it.
Phytol- adds a grassiness to the aroma
Squalene & Squalene 2,3-oxide- Squalenes are very fatty molecules that can help to hydrate and add suppleness to tissues
Isophytol – Has a floral, herby green aroma, and is a precursor to vitamin K
Phytyl acetate – Has a waxy, almost nutty fragrance
Linalool - A component appearing in many essential oils, clinical trials demonstrate linalool to have anti-inflammatory and anti-depressive properties.
Geranyl linalool - Adds a warm rosiness to the fragrance.
Indole, (Z)-Jasmone - Creates the trademark headiness and languor of Jasmine grandiflorum
Estragole - Copiously available in many essential oils, estragole has powerful antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. It has been demonstrated to be anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory and has been shown to be able to alleviate sciatica in rodent models. It seems likely most of estragole’s action arises from its ability to calm excitement in the sodium channels of cells. However, there are concerns that estragole may also have carcinogenic properties and thus should only be used in small dilutions.
