Aquozone

About Aquozone

Aquozone is a captive ingredient in the dsm-firmenich perfumer’s palette. It gives the idea of water a crystalline aquatic expression, helping a composition suggest clarity and freshness. It is a developed fragrance material rather than an aromatic extract obtained from water itself.

Scent Profile

Its fragrance description centres on a clear, bright aquatic impression. Unlike the juicy freshness of citrus, it can create a sense of water and air between other materials. The surrounding composition shapes whether that transparency feels cool, airy, or softly persistent against the skin.

Use in Perfumery

Mandarin and lemon can give its aquatic character a brighter, fruitier entrance. Lavender, musks, and sandalwood can accompany it towards a more enveloping finish. For a fragrance marking the opening of its Maastricht headquarters, dsm-firmenich also paired Aquozone with another captive, Cascalone, to construct a water accord.

Did You Know?

Captive materials are developed for use within a fragrance company’s own palette. Naming one in a fragrance description identifies an olfactory contributor, without disclosing the complete formula or establishing an exact wearing time. The performance and character of the finished perfume depend on how the material interacts with the rest of the composition.
