Short profile
Peach and apricot define the main fruit impression, carried by a creamy, lactonic texture despite the material being a ketone. A jasmine-like floral aspect and a small lavender nuance accompany additional impressions of lychee and ripe plum. The supplier's evaluation also identifies raspberry, powderiness and a gentle musky warmth, with a damascone-like character lacking its sharper edge. Odour strength is rated as moderate; the page does not establish a specific projection profile or describe a timed opening-to-dry-down progression on blotter.
Effect in a formula
Provides a creamy fruit cushion that softens angular floral compositions, particularly jasmine, tuberose, honeysuckle, muguet and lilac themes. It rounds ester-led fruit structures and gives rose, plum and raspberry accords a softer texture. In chypres, its powdery fruit character connects the fruit accord with mossy elements. The supplier also highlights hydrolytic stability as an advantage for retaining this character in soap, detergent and fabric-softener applications.
Use and dosage
The supplier gives 1–10% of the fragrance concentrate as a usual formulation range, with a few percent sufficient for floral smoothing. A separate laboratory note gives 0.5–5% in the finished fragrance; this uses a different stated basis and should not be treated as a concentrate range. These are formulation recommendations, not IFRA limits.
