alpha-Damascone

Alpha-Damascone is a synthetic rose ketone belonging to the damascone family of fragrance molecules, structurally inspired by the natural aroma compounds found in Damask rose (Rosa damascena) essential oil. It imparts a rich, warm, fruity-rosy odor with subtle woody and orchard-like nuances, and is valued for its exceptional tenacity and diffusiveness even at very low concentrations. Formulators prize it for its ability to add depth and naturalness to floral, oriental, and chypre fragrance accords in fine perfumery and cosmetic applications.
