Description

Folione is a distinctive green aroma chemical known for its fresh, leafy and violet-leaf character. It can produce crisp green nuances with watery, cucumber-like and slightly floral facets, giving fragrance compositions a vibrant and naturalistic freshness. Its unusual character makes it particularly valuable for adding definition and realism to green accords.

In perfumery, Folione is widely useful for creating violet leaf, green, fresh, watery and floral accords. It can give a freshly crushed-leaf effect and can help bring brightness and natural texture to floral compositions. Folione works particularly well with citrus, floral, watery and woody materials, and can be used to contrast sweeter ingredients with a crisp green edge. Because of its strong odor character, it is generally best introduced gradually into a formulation.

Folione is a high-impact green modifier, so very small amounts can significantly change an accord. Combine it with Cis-3-Hexenol for a realistic crushed-leaf effect, or use it with floral and watery materials to create a fresh, dewy modern fragrance.
