Formulated specifically for discerning B2B buyers, global fragrance houses, and cosmetic manufacturers, our Beta Damascenone offers the absolute consistency and therapeutic-grade refinement required to anchor premium commercial formulations.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

In the lexicon of fine perfumery, Beta Damascenone is recognized as a high-impact rose ketone of extraordinary potency and diffusion. It exhibits a complex, multi-faceted olfactory profile: a heavy, warm, sweet floral-fruity character dominated by rich notes of ripe plum, damask rose, blackcurrant, and honey, grounded by subtle, sophisticated undertones of tobacco and fine wine. Acting primarily as a middle-and-base note modifier, its exceptionally low odor threshold means that even trace amounts (measured in parts per million) can radically enhance the naturalness, radiant bloom, and volume of a formulation. It is an indispensable ingredient across several industrial sectors:

• Fine Fragrances: Essential for constructing realistic rose, peony, exotic floral, oriental, and chypre accords.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Adds high-end sensory appeal to luxury creams, lotions, and serums.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Used by master blenders to reconstruct complex botanical profiles.
• Soap & Candle Manufacturing: Provides exceptional thermal stability and excellent cold/hot throw in wax and surfactant bases.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

Beta Damascenone is an incredibly powerful raw material. To achieve optimal results without overpowering a composition, formulate with the following professional guidelines:

• Pre-Dilution Protocol: Due to its intense concentration, we recommend working with a 1% or 10% dilution in Isopropyl Myristate (IPM), Diethyl Phthalate (DEP), or Ethanol for accurate dosing during compounding.
• Floral Accord Modification: Introduce at 0.01% to 0.1% (of the total fragrance concentrate) to round out synthetic phenylethyl alcohol and geraniol, introducing a natural, dew-kissed, three-dimensional rose petal quality.
• Fruity & Gourmand Enhancements: Incorporate at 0.05% to add a velvety, jammy richness to plum, raspberry, peach, and dark berry accords, preventing the formulation from smelling flat or overly synthetic.
• Solid Soap & Candle Dosage: Use between 0.02% and 0.15% in the final fragrance oil blend. It exhibits excellent alkaline stability in cold-process soap formulations without causing acceleration or discoloration.
