CAS 24851-98-7 · Floral · Jasmine · Not restricted by IFRA
Hedione is dsm-firmenich's original methyl dihydrojasmonate, the transparent jasmine molecule that changed modern perfumery. It does not smell like a heavy jasmine flower; it smells like the air around one, and it makes almost any formula feel more open and luminous.
What it smells like
Soft, fresh jasmine with a citrusy, slightly green lift. Gentle on the strip but diffusive, lingering as a clean floral glow.
How perfumers use it
Hedione is one of the most used materials in perfumery, often at high levels. It lightens florals, freshens colognes and citrus, and gives woody and musky bases a floral shimmer.
Blends well with: Iso E Super, Bergamot, Galaxolide, Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol, Ambermor.
