About this material
Alpha Irone opens with a soft, powdery floral note reminiscent of violet, combined with a subtle earthy undertone. As it develops, the scent becomes richer, revealing a warm, woody aspect that adds depth and complexity to the overall profile. In a formula, it acts as a bridge between floral and woody notes, enhancing the longevity and richness of the composition without overpowering other elements. It pairs well with other florals like jasmine or rose, as well as with woody notes such as cedar or sandalwood, creating a balanced and harmonious blend. The typical usage in this catalogue ranges from 0.059% to 0.82%, with a common dose around 0.270%.
