Ionone Beta

About this material

Ionone beta is the sweetest of the ionones, having aspects of red berries, tropical fruit and beeswax. It is the chemical that plays the biggest role in giving Boronia its wonderful scent and is indispensable in recreations of the same. It serves a minor role in many other florals and is valuable as a nuancer for wood blends. According to Arctander, “It finds its way more into fragrances rich in woody notes, including those employing newer derivatives of Cyclohexanol, etc. It is also more widely used in lipstick fragrances on account of its compatibility with fruity fragrance materials.” Here is a table of the general chemical makeup of this product. 127-51-5 Alpha Isomethyl Ionone 90-100 77… — Fraterworks
