Fresh jasmine, radiant

Scent Profile

Hedione has a fresh, transparent floral scent reminiscent of jasmine, with subtle green and citrus nuances. It is noted for its radiant, airy quality and ability to impart a diffusive, almost luminous effect in a composition. Over time, it maintains a clean, soft floral impression without becoming heavy or indolic.

Origin

Hedione is a synthetic aroma compound, chemically known as methyl dihydrojasmonate. It was first identified in jasmine absolute and is now produced industrially through organic synthesis for use in perfumery.
