Description

Diola (IFF) is a distinctive aroma chemical known for its sweet, herbal and lavender-like character, supported by unusual fruity and green facets. IFF describes it as a concentrated sweet, herbaceous lavender note with pear, banana and green tonalities. It is particularly effective in small amounts.

Its aroma combines sweet, herbal, lavender, fruity, green and slightly solvent-like facets. This unusual combination makes Diola useful for adding lift and realism to lavender accords, while its fruity nuances can bring a subtle juicy dimension to fruit compositions.

Diola works especially well in lavender, floral, fruity, herbal, green and aromatic fragrances. It can also be used to add freshness and character to fougère compositions and certain functional fragrance applications.

Perfumers' Tip

Diola is particularly useful for giving a lavender accord a distinctive sweet, herbal and slightly fruity character. Combine it with Lavender Oil, Linalool and Linalyl Acetate for a fuller lavender profile, or pair it with Bergamot and Geranium for a fresh aromatic fougère direction.

For a more unusual fruity-floral effect, try Diola + Lavender + Pear Accord + Hedione + White Musks. Green materials such as Cis-3-Hexenol can emphasize its leafy side, while Coumarin and Tonka Bean can reinforce the warm herbal character.

Diola is very powerful and can become noticeable quickly, so start at trace levels and evaluate carefully before increasing the dosage.
