A creamy, jasmine-jammy floral-fruity note reminiscent of jasmolactone and cis-jasmone facets — soft coconutty-lactonic warmth with a ripe tropical-fruit and green floral edge. Blooms into a natural-smelling white-floral impression over time.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless or very pale straw-colored liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, miscible with perfume oils.

Odor

Fruity, fresh-floral and Jasmin-like odor, but it lacks the bread-like note of the Jasmine, a note found in cis-Jasmone and in the Methyl jasmonates. The odor of Amyl cyclopentenone is not as rich as the odor of the named materials.

Uses in perfumery

Suggested for use in perfume compositions, primarily in the creation of artificial Jasmine, Jasmine bases, specialties, etc. It can also be used as a floralizer for fragrances other than those of the Jasmine type, mainly in the milder florals, and in a few sharper ones, such as Hyacinth.

Production

Produced from Decenoic acid by treatment with Phosphoric acid.
