Fema: 3747 This is a rich, quirky, moist, golden aromatic note. Massoia has a fair amount of lactones and should be used with care. This is not a problem as it is heavily aggressive and should be considered a "flavoring" not main ingredient. I want to stress that Massoia creeps up on a blend so stop even before you think you have added enough.! I am not a soaper. I have no idea what one does to create the magic that is hand-crafted soaps but I can see this as a lovely ingredient. In perfume applications, Massoia is definitely a base note. Add it to Benzoin, Vanilla, Tobacco, Hay, Melilot, Broom, Liatrice and you have the richest, most coconut/butterscotch like scent imaginable. This is not too culinary either. The scent is suggestive of coconut without creating the image of suntan lotion. Massoia is a note for those that enjoy Florientals, and rich meadowy smells. If you are careful, you can lighten it I think and blend it into a heart using a sweet rather than camphoraceous lavender. Another idea might be Ho wood or leaf, or a Geranium. A dash of Rose or Ylang can assist unifying the blend also. If you dilute it down, and you are intrepid, try some coriander with perhaps a dash of black pepper and sweet fennel or aniseed. When topping off a composition built upon a Massoia base, I would think of the oranges first. Bitter or Blood Orange with judicious use of sweet orange and perhaps a drop of bergamot would probably be a good place to start. If you use Orange Flower absolute in the base with the Massoia, a top accord of a high toned Petitgrain, Bitter Orange and bergamot might also really sparkle. This is an oil that really sparks the imagination. |
