About Paradisamide

Paradisamide is a synthetic fragrance molecule from Givaudan. Its tropical-fruit character recalls guava and passion fruit, giving perfumers a way to build that juicy impression with an aroma material rather than an extract of the fruits themselves.

Scent Profile

The central effect is fresh, full and fruity, accompanied by nuances of grapefruit, rhubarb and cassis. Those associations add different edges to the tropical core: a citrus-like brightness, a greener tartness and a deeper berry impression. It can therefore suggest more than a straightforward sweet fruit, with the sharper facets helping the juicy character feel lively and distinct.

Use in Perfumery

Paradisamide can take a leading role in tropical-fruit accords or be used in smaller amounts to give other fruity notes a juicy twist. Givaudan also describes a sparkling effect on red-fruit aspects, which makes it useful when a composition needs brightness within a sweet surrounding. Its applications extend to shampoos and shower gels, where the manufacturer highlights its ability to bring bloom. The fruit names describe facets of one material's smell, rather than a list of separate fruit extracts contained in it.
