Origin

Cascalone is a synthetic aroma molecule developed by Firmenich, designed to replicate the natural freshness of water and marine environments. It is produced through chemical synthesis rather than extraction from natural sources, allowing for consistent quality and olfactory performance.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Cascalone primarily in the top and heart notes to impart a fresh, aquatic signature to compositions. It blends well with citrus, floral, and green notes, as well as other marine and ozonic ingredients, and is often used to modernize or lighten fragrance structures.
