About

Lactonic ylang and tuberose, solar and diffusive

Scent Profile

Cyclopidene smells of ylang-ylang and tuberose, strong and diffusive. A sweet, creamy, milky side runs through the flower and gives it a warm, sunny feel. A light fruity lift sits on top. Underneath there is a faint animal note, which grows stronger at higher doses.

A given perfume with this note may use this material, or something else.

Origin

Cyclopidene is dsm-firmenich's trade name for methyl cyclopentylideneacetate, CAS 40203-73-4. It is a single synthetic molecule, also sold as tuberose acetate. Firmenich presented it in its 2023 Sharing Innovation booklet.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use it in white floral accords, mainly tuberose and ylang-ylang, for diffusion and lift. One Firmenich perfumer uses it to replace ylang-ylang oil at a tenth of the dose. It is very potent, so it is dosed low.
