Short profile
This material presents an intensely powerful, sharp green opening marked by intense foliage and crisp cucumber freshness. As it develops, a cool watery and ozonic character is counterbalanced by distinct fatty, metallic nuances. When significantly diluted, it unveils an elegant, orris-like floral depth that historically defined classic violet themes, retaining its potent radiance throughout the dry-down.
Effect in a formula
Operating with extraordinary lifting power even at fractional percentages, this raw material transforms ionone blends by giving them natural leaf character. It serves as an essential component in classic green chypres, florals, and watery accords, injecting an unmistakable crisp, vegetal vitality.
Use and dosage
Typical usage in finished compositions ranges between 0.001% and 0.05%, translating to minimal drops of a pre-diluted solution. Traces are sufficient to fundamentally alter a formula, whereas excess readily leads to off-notes.
