A warm, floral-spicy aroma reminiscent of jasmine petals with a subtle celery-like herbal undertone. Softer and less fatty than cis-jasmone, with a dry woody-floral character that lends natural depth to jasmine and white floral accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Pale yellowish or pale straw-colored oily liquid. The color increases upon ageing or exposure to daylight and air.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Diffusive, sweet-fatty, somewhat floral and slightly oily-fruity odor of good tenacity. The odor is less floral and more fatty than that of the cis-isomer. The overall impression is that this material does not reproduce very closely the tonalities of Jasmin as presented by the cis-isomer.

Uses in perfumery

In the early days of manufacturing synthetic Jasmone, this isomer was normally present in the commercial product. The quality of the Jasmone would at times depend upon the ratio of the two isomers in the synthetic material.

Production

The synthesis from trans-3-Hexenol has no practical or commercial interest.
