Description

Caryophyllene Oxide is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene oxide commonly found as an oxidation product of β-Caryophyllene. It has a distinctive woody, spicy, dry and slightly earthy character, with subtle clove-like and balsamic nuances.

In perfumery, Caryophyllene Oxide is useful for adding natural woody-spicy depth to fragrance compositions. It can contribute a dry, slightly earthy character to accords and is particularly interesting in fragrances inspired by spices, woods and natural essential oils.

Its profile works well in woody, spicy, oriental, herbal and earthy compositions. It can also be used as a supporting material when recreating the characteristic odor profile of materials naturally containing caryophyllene derivatives.

Perfumers' Tip

Caryophyllene Oxide is useful when you want to add a dry, natural woody-spicy dimension to a composition. Pair it with β-Caryophyllene and Black Pepper for a richer spicy-woody accord, or use it with Patchouli, Vetiver and Cedarwood for a darker earthy base. Start at a controlled level to maintain balance with softer materials.
