EcoIngredient Compass®
Plum, Rose
A potent natural fragrance combining fruity and floral notes. The dominant floral element is rose and occasionally hints of plum or grape for the fruity aspect. Subtle tobacco or sweet apple undertones add depth to the overall smell.
Damascenone, like other rose ketones, imparts a subtle rose undertone essential in floral compositions, enhancing naturalness and volume. It also adds a candied, cooked apple facet that can adjust the maturity level of fruit notes. Even in small amounts, Damascenone contributes attractive and nuanced characteristics to various fragrance types.
Chemical synthesis corresponds to the construction of complex chemical compounds from simpler ones.
Our R&D follows the principles of Green chemistry whenever possible.
In 1965, dsm-firmenich’s team analyzed the Bulgarian rose essence, concluding in the discovery of not only the first rose ketones but how to synthetize them. Their work is still widely recognized as a key discovery process for our industry.
