Sotolone, with the CAS number 28664-35-9, is a synthetic aroma chemical known for its distinctive sweet, caramel-like scent, often reminiscent of maple syrup or toasted bread. In perfumery, it is valued for its ability to add depth and warmth to compositions, making it a popular choice in gourmand fragrances. Sotolone can also enhance the overall sweetness of a formula, allowing it to blend harmoniously with other sweet notes such as vanilla or chocolate. It is typically used in lower concentrations due to its potent aroma, and it can be found in both fine fragrances and functional products like air fresheners and personal care items. While Sotolone is generally considered safe for use in perfumery, it is important to be aware of any regulatory guidelines that may apply, including potential restrictions set by IFRA. As with many synthetic aroma chemicals, perfumers should consider the overall balance of the formula and the potential for allergenic reactions, although Sotolone is not commonly listed as a major allergen. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.
