Any sources for cremefleur in the US?
Hey friends! I am trying to find a company that sells cremefleur (cas 34687-46-2) and also ships to the US. I went to order it from Pell Wall, only to discover they no longer ship to the US ;(
If you're interested in the back story:
I recently purchased a sample of jasmine grandi (India) from Eden Botanicals, and I am unbelievably hooked on it. While I love jasmine, I always find myself wishing for it to be milkier, less screechy and sharp. Any time I craft a jasmine accord, I go heavy on the lactones and basically microdose benzyl acetate.
The Indian jasmine from EB is my perfect jasmine. Beyond my perfect jasmine. I am obsessed. It smells a bit like cold frothed milk with sweet, creamy, fruity jasmine petals. A quite peachy-fruity dry down surprisingly reminiscent of jasmolactone. And it lasts forever. I'm still smelling the blotter strip almost two weeks later.
So, what does this have to do specifically with cremefleur rather than other lactones? Well, while browsing this sub and basenotes DIY forums in search of materials for a chantilly cream accord a while ago, I saw cremefleur mentioned with descriptors such as "cold frothed milk", "very milk-like, almost nauseatingly/cloyingly so", etc. So naturally, when I smelled this jasmine and immediately got cold, frothy jasmine milk from it, i convinced myself that cremefleur would be a perfect material to have in a blend to try emulating it.
If there is no hope in sourcing cremefleur in the US, I am hoping to maybe get some insight into other materials to try that i can access here in the states.
Thank you for any and all input! :)
