Gardenia flowers

Methyl (Z)-(-)-jasmonate has been identified as a component in the scent of Tunisian rosemary, in the stems and leaves of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.), and in the absoiue of tuberose and gardenia flowers. Methyl (Z)-(-)-(3H,7S -jasmonate has been discovered in the oil of lemon peel and in the pheromone of the oriental fruit moth (Grapholitha molesta B.,1 The culture filtrate of the fungus Lasiodiplodia fheobromae contains the free acid. In the oils from the blooms of osmanthus, gardenia and mimosa, (-)-jasmolactone has been found, which is also an important component of tea aroma. [75] On the other hand, the oil from tuberose flowers contains (+)-jasmolactone. 

Essential oils are obtained from fmits and flowers (61,62). Volatile esters of short- and medium-chain carboxyHc acids or aromatic carboxyHc acids with short- and medium-chain alcohols are primary constituents of essential oils, eg, ethyl acetate in wines, brandy, and in fmits such as pineapple ben2yl acetate in jasmine and gardenia methyl saHcylate in oils of wintergreen and sweet birch. Most of these naturally occurring esters in essential oils have pleasant odors, and either they or their synthetic counterparts are used in the confectionery, beverage, perfume, cosmetic, and soap industries (see Oils, essential). 

There is an isomeric and closely associated alcohol, phenyl-methyl carbinol, CgH5CH OH)CHg, known to chemists. This is a liquid of different odour, but which is not used very much in synthetic perfumery. It is an oil boiling at 203°, and forms an acetate which is found naturally in essential oil of gardenia. This ester is of use in blending perfumes of this type of flower. 

Methyl Anthranilate.—This ester is one of extreme importance, and to it is largely due the possibility of manufacturing artificial neroli oils. It was discovered as a constituent of neroli oil in 1895 by Walbaum, and has since been identified in numerous other flower oils, such as tuberose, ylang-ylang, jasmin, and gardenia. Its value in synthetic perfumery is therefore obvious. Its constitution is that of a methyl ester or orthp-amido-benzoic acid, of the formula here shown —... 

Benzyl alcohol (1) occurs widely in essential oils both as the free alcohol, and, more importandy from a fragrance standpoint, in the form of various esters. Although benzyl alcohol itself is rather bland in odor, combined with its much more fragrant esters it is an important part of the odor of jasmine, ylang-ylang, gardenia, some rose varieties, narcissus and peony, as well as castoreum, balsams of peru and tolu, and propolis. Benzyl alcohol occurs primarily in flower oils and tree exudates, whereas a large number of essential oils obtained from other parts of a wide variety of plants contain no benzyl alcohol or its esters (1). 

Availability until recently, there was no known way to obtain, at any cost, the natural odor concentrates of muguet, lilac, gardenia and a great deal of other flowers we do not know how to raise the whale population that would be needed to satisfy our demand for ambergris odor.
