Caryophyllene Acetate is a synthetic aroma chemical with the CAS number 57082-24-3. It is known for its warm, spicy, and slightly woody character, often reminiscent of clove and pepper. In perfumery, Caryophyllene Acetate is typically used to enhance the depth and complexity of fragrance compositions, particularly in oriental and spicy accords. It can serve as a middle or base note, contributing to the overall richness of a scent. This ingredient is valued for its ability to blend well with other materials, adding a nuanced warmth that can elevate floral, fruity, and gourmand fragrances. While Caryophyllene Acetate is generally considered safe for use in perfumery, it is important for formulators to be aware of any regulatory guidelines, including IFRA restrictions, that may apply to its use in cosmetic products. As with many synthetic aroma chemicals, it is advisable to monitor for any potential allergens or sensitivities in consumers, although Caryophyllene Acetate is not commonly listed as a major allergen. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.
