About Jasmolactone
Jasmolactone is a synthetic fragrance ingredient combining a jasmine-petal character with creamy fruitiness. dsm-firmenich markets it as Jasmolactone Delta.
Scent Profile
Its soft floral character is accompanied by facets reminiscent of peach, apricot and coconut milk. That combination gives an impression of rounded petals and mellow fruit in the same material. Lactones are a group of compounds encountered in fragrance ingredients; in Jasmolactone, the character includes a smooth, milky aspect that helps explain its creamy impression.
Use in Perfumery
Jasmolactone complements jasmine and offers a way to connect floral and fruity impressions. It can add roundness to a white-floral composition or bring petal-like softness to a fruit accord. The manufacturer's application material places it in the heart-note role and describes it as effective at relatively low concentrations, allowing small additions to influence the character of an accord.
