Origin

Fructone (CAS 6413-10-1) is a synthetic ketal compound produced by major fragrance houses like IFF. It mimics complex fruit esters through its chemical structure, offering stability superior to simple esters. Also known as apple ketal or Jasmaprunat in supplier catalogues.

Usage in Perfumery

Primarily a base note used at 1-30% in fruity accords, tropical compositions, and to enhance floral bases like jasmine, tuberose, or gardenia. Blends with ethyl maltol for strawberry, frambinone and beta-ionone for raspberry, or rose for fruity nuance. Provides body, tenacity, and bridges top fruits to heart and base.
