Perfumer's Notes

Hedione (methyl dihydrojasmonate) is the most famous and widely-used synthetic jasmine substitute. It can be described as a “transparent jasmine” with a luminous, green, floral scent. Unlike natural jasmine, Hedione does not have the heavier, narcotic (strong, heady, intoxicating) notes. Blend Hedione and jasmine together for a light and diffusive jasmine scent.

Hedione lends a lovely light, floral note to masculine fragrances and gives natural smoothness and radiance to any blend. It's particularly common in florals and colognes.

Blends Well With

jasmine grandiflorum, florals, citrus, woods
