Short profile

The opening is incisively fresh, with aldehydic brightness over a rosy floral character. Magnolia is the defining floral reference, combining a creamy texture with citrus freshness and leafy green nuances. The supplier describes diffusion without pronounced aldehydic soapiness and rates both strength and blend impact at 4/10. Although classified as a base note with prolonged strip persistence, its heart-to-dry-down evolution is not separately documented.

Effect in a formula

Adds brightness and an airy quality to floral structures, particularly rose and magnolia, while connecting floral character with fruit notes. Its green aspect helps counter excessive floral sweetness, and its aldehydic contribution supports diffusion without a strongly soapy impression. Alongside Geranyl Acetate, it supplies a fresher, creamier magnolia dimension to the fuller rosy body of the acetate.

Use and dosage

For rose accords, the supplier proposes 0.5–3%, and separately lists 2.5% as average use in the fragrance concentrate. The rose recommendation does not specify whether its percentage refers to the accord itself or the complete concentrate. These are formulation guidelines, not IFRA limits.

No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.

Practical tip: For a rose complex, trial one part Geranyl Acetone with two parts Geranyl Acetate. This supplier-recommended balance uses the acetate for rosy fullness and the acetone for freshness and creamy magnolia shading.
