It is one of the main odour molecules in real rose oil, but on its own it is gentle, a little honeyed and quite forgiving, which is why perfumers use it in large amounts rather than traces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it smells like\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmell it from the bottle and you get a fresh rose petal with a honey sweetness and a faint green, almost bread-crust edge. It is not loud. On a strip it sits in the heart and fades slowly over a few hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow perfumers use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePEA is the body of a rose. Put it next to geraniol, citronellol and a trace of alpha damascone and you have the skeleton of a rose accord. It also softens harsh florals, rounds off muguet and hyacinth notes, and turns up in attar-style oils, soaps and candles because it is stable and inexpensive. It dissolves easily in ethanol, DPG and most fragrance oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlends well with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geraniol, Citronellol, Alpha Damascone, Hydroxycitronellal, Hedione.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIFRA \u0026amp; regulatory\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot restricted under the current IFRA Standards (51st Amendment).
