Dihydro Beta Ionone

IFF: Distinct violet note with slight woody undertone

Dihydro Beta Ionone

Fraterworks: Dihydro beta ionone is a major component of the natural scent of osmanthus flowers. it adds floral volume and feminine sophistication. it blends beautifully with iralia and isoraldeine cetone alpha, enhancing their violet character. this material really is indispensable and should be included in all perfumer's toolkits.

According to perfumery: techniques in evolution (a series of articles published in perfumer and flavorist magazine), dihydro beta ionone “has an odor somewhat mild, woody, floral and slightly fruity, possessing great beauty. it is a relatively old product that has only recently found a wider audience when introduced in the creative accord of issey miyaki for ladies. afterwards it was used in many fragrances, among them dolce vita and bulgari for ladies. however it is found in traces in many fragrances because it is an important part of the reconstruction of osmanthus absolute, along with dihydro-beta-ionol, gamma-decalactone and theaspirane. i believe it will be used increasingly in perfumery, with many accords being created with its complex and ambiguous, floral, woody and fruity notes.”

Harrison Joseph: Highly versatile - can add substantivity to not only woods and leathers but ambergris and sandalwood. very different to beta ionone.
