Floral Orchids and Jadore Perfume

Floral orchids are a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants with blooms that are often colorful and fragrant, commonly known as the orchid family are used in the production of cologne. Along with the Asteraceae, they are one of the two largest families of flowering plants, with between 21,950 and 26,049 currently accepted species, found in 880 genera. Selecting which of the two families is larger is still under debate, as concrete numbers on such enormous families are constantly in flux. Regardless, the number of orchid species equals more than twice the number of bird species, and about four times the number of mammal species. The family also encompasses about 6–11% of all seed plants.The largest genera are Bulbophyllum (2,000 species), Epidendrum (1,500 species), Dendrobium (1,400 species) and Pleurothallis (1,000 species). The family also includes Vanilla (the genus of the vanilla plant), Orchis (type genus), and many commonly cultivated plants such as Phalaenopsis and Cattleya. Moreover, since the introduction of tropical species in the 19th century, horticulturists have produced more than 100,000 hybrids and cultivars.

The scent of orchids is frequently analyzed by perfumers for women's cologne (using head space technology and gas-liquid chromatography) to identify potential fragrance chemicals.

Violet

Viola is a genus of flowering plants in the violet family Violaceae. It is the largest genus in the family, containing between 525 and 600 species. Most species are found in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, however some are also found in widely divergent areas such as Hawaii, Australasia, and the Andes. Some Viola species are perennial plants, some are annual plants, and a few are small shrubs.

A large number of species, varieties and cultivars are grown in gardens for their ornamental flowers and in ladies perfume. In horticulture the term "pansy" is normally used for those multi-colored, large-flowered cultivars which are raised annually or biennially from seed and used extensively in bedding. The terms "viola" and "violet" are normally reserved for small-flowered annuals or perennials, including the species. Viola odorata is used as a source for scents in Jadore perfume and the perfume industry. Violet is known to have a 'flirty' scent as its fragrance comes and goes. Ionone is present in the flowers, which turn off the ability for humans to smell the fragrant compound for moments at a time.

Musk Rose

Musk rose. is a species of rose long in cultivation. Its wild origins are uncertain but are suspected to lie in the western Himalayas. R. moschata is a shrub in a loose cyme or corymb, blooming on new growth from late spring until late autumn in warm climates, or from late summer onwards in cool-summer climates. The sepals are 2 cm long with slender points. The flowers have a characteristic "musky" scent, emanating from the stamens, which is also found in some of its descendants.

It has been contended that no truly wild examples of the musk rose have been found, though it is recorded in cultivation as least as far back as the 16th century. It is important in cultivation as a parent to several groups of cultivated roses, notably the damask rose and the noisette group, and is valued for its scent and for its unusually long season of bloom among rose species. Rose hip seed oil is a pressed seed oil, extracted from the seeds of a wild rose bush (Rosa moschata) in the southern Andes. Rosehip seed oil can also be extracted from Rosa canina, which grows in many regions of the world including South Africa and Europe. It is commonly used in Jadore perfume, ladies perfume/perfumery and skin care products.

It is commonly used for a variety of skin conditions, including, acne and eczema, dermatitis and acne for mature and sun burnt skin as well as brittle nails and wrinkles. Rose hip oil is also frequently used to heal scarring and diminish photo-aging.

Blackberry Musk

Blackberry musk is a synthetic musk, known as white musk in the perfume industry, it is a class of synthetic aroma-chemicals to emulate the scent of deer musk or other natural musk. Synthetic musk's have a clean, smooth and sweet scent lacking the fecal/"animalic" notes of natural musk's and are sometimes attributed as having notes of blackberry, ambrette or ambergris. These compounds are essential in modern women's fragrance and perfumery and form the base note foundations of most perfume formulas. Most, if not all musk fragrance used in Jadore perfume/perfumery today is-synthetic. Synthetic musk's can be divided into three major classes — aromatic nitro musk's, polycyclic musk compounds, and macro-cyclic musk compounds.
