Odour Profile
Hedione presents a delicate, transparent jasmine-like floral character with subtle citrus freshness reminiscent of lemon or grapefruit, complemented by ethereal, airy qualities and smooth, radiant undertones.
Uses
Essential modifier that creates space, diffusion and volume in compositions; enhances floral notes while adding radiance to virtually all fragrance families.
There is only one type of Hedione® a perfumer should use: Firmenich manufactured hedione. The rest are inferior and nothing comes even close.
First used in Eau Sauvage (1966, formula below) by Edmond Roudnitstka (1.8%) Hedione is now ubiquitous, being found in virtually all fragrances today. It boosts citrus (in particular lemon), and adds a radiance and beauty that nothing else can match. From mere traces to overdose, Hedione is indispensable.
Also known as methyl dihydrojasmonate.
