Hamanasu Concrete

#### Hamanasu Concrète. This perfumery material is derived from the flowers of **Rosa**** ****Rugosa**, a plant which is cultivated in Japan. The annual production (1958) is about 100 kilos, all of which is absorbed in Japan for finer perfumery products. Hamanasu concrète is not regularly available outside of its country of origin. The author has no personal experience with the use of this material. Samples so far received have been olive-green to dark orange brown of color, and the odor has been woody-floral, sweet, somewhat honeylike. It is most likely that considerable variations in odor and appearance may occur in such a small scale production. ---
