Hedione

A Modern, Radiant Floral Aroma Chemical

Hedione is a highly versatile aroma chemical widely used in modern perfumery to create a radiant, airy and diffusive floral character.

It is particularly known for its jasmine-like freshness, combined with a soft citrusy and slightly green impression. Rather than creating a heavy floral note, Hedione gives compositions a feeling of transparency, lift and natural radiance.

• Diffusion – Helps the fragrance project and develop in the air.

• Floral Freshness – Adds a transparent jasmine-like floral effect.
