У парфумерії
Karo-karounde is a conceptual white-floral note with no commercial extract. Reconstructed from linalool, benzyl acetate, jasmine-type materials, and creamy-tropical modifiers. Functions as a heart note in African botanical, tropical-floral, and night-blooming compositions. Related to carissa (Natal plum) and shares similar white-floral chemistry.
