Understanding the material

IFF identifies Narcissus jonquilla for its French jonquille absolute. It is a more specific material reference than a generic daffodil note and differs from the Narcissus poeticus reference in the atlas’s narcissus profile. The supplier describes green, powdery and honey-associated aspects. Botanical source and extraction help distinguish related flower materials that share overlapping common names.

A smelling observation

Compare jonquil with narcissus, mimosa and broom. Identify powder, honey association and hay-like dryness as separate facets.
