Beta-Damascone
Product name: 乙位突厥酮 | β-大马酮
English name: Beta-Damascone
CAS No.：23726-91-2
FEMA No.：3243
Key Characteristics
The most striking feature of beta-damascone is its highly realistic, full-bodied, and sweetened rose aroma. It evokes the scent of fully mature rose petals and rose fruit, almost without the green tartness of the alpha-isomer, instead leaning toward a richer, jam-like sweetness and smoky undertones.
As an ultra-high-impact ingredient, beta-damascone possesses exceptionally strong olfactory power. Its usage in formulations must therefore be extremely minimal, yet the effect it delivers is striking, making it a highly cost-effective aromatic component.
beta-damascone can dramatically elevate the overall quality of a fragrance, rendering floral notes more natural, fruity notes fuller and richer, and enabling a refined integration of diverse olfactory elements. It also enhances depth, density, and luxury within the accord.
Its aroma is stable and persistent into the mid-to-late drydown where it acts both as a fixative and as a booster of the trailing nuances.
