Profile

beta-Damascenone is curated in this catalog as a rosy material, with a secondary reading of crisp fruit.

On the strip it reads rosy honey plum cooked apple.

It is registered under CAS 23696-85-7.

The catalog records an average working dose of 0.1% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.

How it behaves

volatility index 0.53 · the heart

A boiling point of 274 °C and a molecular weight of 190.28 g/mol give beta-Damascenone a volatility index of 0.53, which places it in the heart of a composition.

It arrives as the opening thins and holds the centre of a composition, which is where most of the character of a fragrance is decided.

The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.

Questions about beta-Damascenone

What does beta-Damascenone smell like?

beta-Damascenone reads as rosy and crisp fruit, described in the catalog as rosy honey plum cooked apple.

Is beta-Damascenone a top, heart or base note?

beta-Damascenone sits in the heart. Its volatility index of 0.53 is computed from a boiling point of 274 °C and a molecular weight of 190.28 g/mol, rather than assigned by hand. It arrives as the opening thins and holds the centre of a composition, which is where most of the character of a fragrance is decided.

How much beta-Damascenone should I use?

The catalog records an average working dose of 0.1% Max% for beta-Damascenone. Treat that as the starting point for a trial: the right dose depends on what else is in the formula and what you want it to do there.

What can I use instead of beta-Damascenone?

The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Damascone Delta (100% match), alpha-Damascone (81.6% match) and Damascone Alpha (80.3% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like beta-Damascenone. Ranking ignores price.

What is the CAS number for beta-Damascenone?

beta-Damascenone is registered under CAS 23696-85-7 in this catalog.
