Запах

Sweet, jasmine-like, with a creamy tropical quality. Less complex than jasmine grandiflorum, less indolic, with a cleaner, more straightforward white-floral sweetness. The linalool content gives it a bergamot-like brightness. Night-blooming intensity — projects sweetness in warm evening air.

Докладно

Karo-karounde (Carissa spinarum, syn. C. edulis) is a thorny shrub native to tropical Africa and Asia. The plant produces small, star-shaped white flowers with an intensely sweet, jasmine-like fragrance, followed by purple-black edible berries. The name varies regionally — 'karounde' in Hindi, 'num-num' in some African languages.

The flowers contain linalool, benzyl acetate, and farnesol, giving them a sweet white-floral character with a creamy, slightly tropical quality. The scent is night-intensified, suggesting moth pollination. The berries have a mild, slightly tart-sweet flavor when ripe.

There is no commercial karo-karounde essential oil or absolute. The note is a botanical reference in perfumery, evoking African and Asian tropical landscapes with fragrant hedgerows.

In traditional African medicine, virtually every part of Carissa spinarum is used: roots for headache and chest pain, bark for snakebite, leaves for wounds, and fruit as food. The thorny branches are frequent as living fences — a natural barbed wire.
