Profile

Ionone Beta is curated in this catalog as a cosmetic material, with a secondary reading of woody.

On the strip it reads warm woody violet powdery.

It is registered under CAS 79-77-6.

The catalog records an average working dose of 1% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.

How it behaves

volatility index 0.58 · the heart

A boiling point of 240 °C and a molecular weight of 192.3 g/mol give Ionone Beta a volatility index of 0.58, 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 Ionone Beta

What does Ionone Beta smell like?

Ionone Beta reads as cosmetic and woody, described in the catalog as warm woody violet powdery.

Is Ionone Beta a top, heart or base note?

Ionone Beta sits in the heart. Its volatility index of 0.58 is computed from a boiling point of 240 °C and a molecular weight of 192.3 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 Ionone Beta should I use?

The catalog records an average working dose of 1% Max% for Ionone Beta. 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 Ionone Beta?

The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Dihydro Ionone Beta (Givaudan) (81.8% match), Ionone Alpha (IFF) (81.4% match) and Isoraldeine 70 - Givaudan (79% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Ionone Beta. Ranking ignores price.

What is the CAS number for Ionone Beta?
