Fructone is a synthetic ketal fragrance ingredient known for its powerful fruity aroma combining apple, pineapple, and strawberry facets with winey and woody undertones. It provides exceptional tenacity and depth to fruity accords. Commonly used in modern perfumery for tropical and berry effects.
Scent Profile
Fructone opens with intense, juicy apple-pineapple sweetness reminiscent of tropical fruits, evolving into cooked strawberry and winey fermented nuances. Subtle woody-pine undertones add sophistication and prevent cloying sweetness. The profile is diffusive with medium strength and remarkable longevity over 72 hours.

CORRECTED 2026-08-14: this edge said the material was not held, and it is - as 'ethyl 2-(2-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)acetate' (CAS 6413-10-1). The gap was in the LOOKUP, not the catalogue: we store this molecule under its systematic or registry name, the edge was authored against the trade name, and nothing matched. Supplier catalogues published the CAS and PubChem confirmed it (CID 80865). Previously: A real fruity ester we do not hold. The material that would realise this note is fructone; we do not hold it, so this edge names the gap rather than a
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.
